Summary
- Drake Maye led Patriots to a 24-19 win over Dolphins.

The New England Patriots secured a challenging 24-19 victory against the Miami Dolphins on a wet November Sunday. Quarterback Drake Maye was instrumental in the second half, overcoming significant offensive injuries including the loss of tight end Hunter Henry. Maye connected on two long touchdown passes and rushed for another score, finishing with 199 yards and three total touchdowns. This win improves the Patriots' record to 5-3.
The Dolphins, now 1-6, were unable to maintain their 13-3 halftime lead. First-year coach Jeff Hafley acknowledged progress in the team's competitiveness despite the loss, noting this was their fourth straight one-score game. The Patriots defense also played a key role, recording five sacks and an interception, bolstering optimism for the unit's future performance.
Looking ahead, the Patriots face the Green Bay Packers in Week 9. For the Dolphins, the focus shifts towards finding a franchise quarterback in the upcoming draft, as current starter Tua Tagovailoa had a middling performance. The team has shown signs of rebuilding progress but must address their quarterback situation.
