Game Notes

Patriots beat the Dolphins 14-12 to capture the AFC East.

New England manages two 2nd half scoring drives to overcome Miami, as the Dolphins squander field position and scoring chances. Despite dominating the 1st half, Miami leads just 6-0.

Marrio Grier's 2-yard TD run in the 3rd quarter puts the Patriots ahead. After New England stretches the lead to 14-6, the Dolphins respond with an 8-yard TD pass from Dan Marino to Lamar Thomas w/ 3:46 left. However, a successful 2-point conversion is called back due to a holding call, the ensuing attempt fails. Miami has one last chance in New England territory in the final 2 minutes, but a batted pass, dropped snap and sack seal the Patriots' win.
