The Patriots came out in a game that meant nothing and jumped all over a Miami team that was looking forward to hitting the golf courses this week(which I am pretty jealous about). The Patriots won 38-7 and now look forward to a bye week before hosting a divisional game in two weeks against the highest remaining seed. Tom Brady played into the third and had 199 yards with a couple of TD passes. Ben Jarvus Green Ellis finished a consistant season with 80 yards rushing giving him 1010 yards on the season. Rookie TE Rob Gronkowski hauled in six catches for 102 yards and a TD setting the all-time patriots record for tight end in a season. Julian Edelman added a 94 yard punt return for a TD and it was another stomping by the Patriots who have had one close game since Thanksgiving. This game was meaningless so I will jump to the winners and losers now.
Winners
1. Tom Brady-read above
2. Ben Jarvus Green Ellis- first 1,000 yard rusher since Corey Dillon is impressive for an undrafted free agent
3. Rob Gronkowski- the rookie TE looks to be a favorite target for tom brady for years to come
4. Julian Edelman- that punt return is just impressive especially for a white dude to outrun the whole punt coverage team
5. Defense- complete team effort to hold the dolphins scoreless until the refs felt bad and started making up penalties at the end of the game
Losers
1. Chad Henne- He is just not an NFL QB
