The Patriots have been the team to beat the last couple years in the NFL. They are looking beatable at 4-4, but will they turn it on in the second half of the season? Who has what it takes to take them down in the playoffs?

New England (4-4) at Miami (3-5)
* This will be the 80th all-time meeting (including playoffs). The Dolphins won last season’s meeting in Miami, coming back from an 11-point fourth quarter deficit to win 29-28. Miami picked off Tom Brady four times in that game, including twice in the fourth quarter.
* The Patriots first four road opponents have a combined record of 24-8 (Atl, Pit, Den and Car are all 6-2). They are 9-1 on the road in November since 2001.
* New England has allowed 220 points after allowing just 260 points all of last season.
* Patriots’ RB Corey Dillon has rushed for at least 94 yards in each of his three career starts vs. Miami, including two 100+-yard performances.
* New England QB Tom Brady is 37-5 as a starter in his career when throwing no interceptions (including playoffs), but is 1-2 in the past three occurrences.
