Anybody with the audacity to question Bill Belichick does so at their own peril, but there have been some strange goings-on at Foxborough over recent months. The decision to essentially split the offensive coordinator role between Joe Judge and Matt Patricia has caused consternation amongst fans, and preseason displays haven't helped matters.
It's going to be hard for Patriots quarterback Mac Jones to have much trust in his offensive line when they offered him such poor protection over preseason, so the ball-carrying skills of Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson could be utilised to maximum effect here.
Tua's 3-0 againts the Pats, and with Jaylen Waddle and Mike Gesicki to go with Hill, it's hard to see how he doesn't improve that, even though the New England roster has spent the entire week in Miami to prepare for this.
It's a 1pm ET / 6pm BST kick-off at Hard Rock Stadium, today, 11th September 2022. Read on for more details on how to watch a Patriots vs Dolphins live stream, wherever you are in the world.
