Miami Dolphins smirk at projections, defeat New England Patriots in 395.88-181.20 blowout

Miami Dolphins rose to the occasion and exceeded expectations, rolling to a 395.88-181.20 win over New England Patriots, who fell short of projections. There wasn't much drama in this one, as Miami Dolphins earned a 200.68-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind a combined 151.98 points from Tua Tagovailoa (469 Pass Yds, 6 Pass TDs) and Tyreek Hill (11 Rec, 190 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs). Damien Harris (20.7 points) and Jakobi Meyers (18) did their part for New England Patriots in defeat. Miami Dolphins (2-0) will look to keep it rolling against New York Jets, while New England Patriots (0-2) will attempt to generate some positive momentum against Cincinnati Bengals.
