The Patriots looked to lock up the AFC East for yet another season as they battled the Dolphins in Miami.
The team is almost at completely full strength, with Dwayne Allen the lone notable inactive on the team's injury report Sunday morning, and Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski and Stephon Gilmore all good to go for the game.
With the win, the Patriots would have moved to 10-3 on the year and increase their lead over the Dolphins in the divisional standings to four games, good enough to clinch the AFC East for the 10th straight season.
