with the New England Patriots by vaulting into a first-row luxury box https://www.coltsfanshop.com/Jeremiah-George-Jersey , he didn't linger.The Patriots had a job to finish.Determined to play to the final gun after allowing a miracle comeback at Miami last year, the Patriots beat the Dolphins 43-0 Sunday.Coach Bill Belichick had Tom Brady still throwing at the end."We're playing 60 minutes," Belichick said.The Pats did that. They scored twice on interception returns in a two-minute fourth-quarter span, and registered their first shutout since Week 3 of 2016.Brown helped get them going. The Patriots were 18½-point favorites but led only 7-0 late in the first half before Brady hit his newest target for a 20-yard score.They connected four times in all."It was a good start," Brady said. "I was just trying to find an open guy. He was snapping off some routes and did a great job."Brown, who signed Monday, made an 18-yard catch on his first play and finished with 56 yards receiving, all in the first half. He won raves from teammates for his debut."It was awesome," receiver Julian Edelman said. "A lot of energy. He's a playmaker."One thing Brown didn't do was talk to reporters after the game. The NFL allowed the four-time All-Pro receiver to play despite a civil lawsuit filed Tuesday by his former trainer accusing him of sexually assaulting her on three occasions. Brown has denied the allegations.New England's defense outscored Miami with interception returns for touchdowns of 54 yards by Stephon Gilmore and 69 yards by Jamie Collins Sr. The Patriots totaled seven sacks and four interceptions and earned their most lopsided win in the 108-game history of the series."The defense was spectacular," Brady said.He threw for 264 yards and two scores for the Pats, who are 2-0 for the first time since 2016, winning by a combined score of 76-3.The Dolphins are 0-2 for only the second time since 2012, with their losses by a combined score of 102-10."It's never fun to be embarrassed," Miami quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick said, "especially two weeks in a row at home."Fitzpatrick threw for 89 yards and was intercepted three times. Josh Rosen replaced him and went seven for 18 for 97 yards and one interception.Coach Brian Flores hedged when asked if Fitzpatrick remains the starter."We'll evaluate things over the course of the week Denico Autry Jersey ," Flores said, "and as of right now, Ryan is still the starter."NO MERCYBelichick didn't let up against Flores, his former assistant. Brady's passing sparked a 59-yard drive for the final touchdown with 2:10 left."Last year it came down to 60 minutes of football," Brady said. "We were talking about 60 minutes of football, and that's what it took."The defending Super Bowl champions won for only the second time in their past seven trips to Miami, and avenged a loss in 2018 on a last-second pass and double lateral.Brady tied George Blanda for the second-most regular-season wins in the NFL with 209. Adam Vinatieri began the weekend first with 215 wins.HOW DO YOU DO?Brown celebrated his touchdown by leaping into the seats, where he landed on an 18-year-old college student wearing a Brady jersey."I was really excited," said the spectator, Jenna Saadah, attending her first football game. "The fact that it was the Patriots team that scored a touchdown, it was mind-blowing."INJURIESThe Patriots' battered offensive line was dealt another blow when left tackle Isaiah Wynn left in the first half with a foot injury. Marshall Newhouse replaced him.DISGRUNTLED DEFENDERMinkah Fitzpatrick started at safety for the Dolphins even though he has requested and received permission to seek a trade. He made six tackles."There's a saying: 'I never lose, I just learn.'" Fitzpatrick said. "That's just what we've got to do right now."BAD DAYPatriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski missed two extra points and a 48-yard field-goal try. He has missed three extra points in the past two seasons, all in Miami.UP NEXTThe Patriots play host to the Jets next Sunday. New England has won the past six meetings.The Dolphins continue their race to the bottom Sunday at the Dallas Cowboys, who have won their past three meetings."There's not going to be anybody in this league that's going to feel sorry for us Nyheim Hines Color Rush Jersey ," Fitzpatrick said. "So we have to continue to try to get better every day." The Indianapolis Colts continued to rely on contributions from first- and second-year players to pull off a fourth quarter comeback win at home against the Miami Dolphins. The defensive side of the ball is still more heavily represented, with Darius Leonard showing no signs of slowing his blistering pace. However, an even larger group of young players is getting involved on both sides of the ball.Let’s take a look.OFFENSERookie offensive linemen Quenton Nelson and Braden Smith continue to dominate in terms of snap count. They both played 100% of the offensive snaps and are locked in as long-term starters at their respective positions. The offensive line gave ups its first sack in over five weeks on Sunday, with Cameron Wake beating Smith around the edge. An earlier sack was waived off due to a defensive penalty called against Miami. Robert Quinn came around the edge against Anthony Castonzo, while Luck stood in the pocket like a statue. This sack would have been on Luck for holding the ball way too long if it stood.One of the bigger surprises of the game is that Nelson was called for numerous penalties, making life difficult for Andrew Luck and the offense. His first penalty was in the second quarter on a Marlon Mack run, the film shows that the call was questionable at best. If there was a hold, it didn’t impact the play at all. The second hold occurred on the Colts first drive of the fourth quarter. This appeared to be a guess by the side judge. The reason Nelson drew the flag is because his right hand slid outside of the defender’s shoulders. As in-game commentators often mention, it is a cardinal sin for an offensive lineman to allow his hands to get outside of a defender’s body because officials will throw the flag all day — even if they get it wrong. In this case, the defender lost his balance as he tried to redirect toward the rushing lane, which required that he move through Nelson’s left arm that was likely planted deeply in his sternum. The outside hand doesn’t grab or otherwise pull on the jersey but he was called for the penalty anyway. Officially, the penalty was declined on him and accepted on Jack Doyle.The third penalty was a false start on the same fourth quarter drive. There is no explaining this one. Nelson flinched with his right arm and when the defender reacted, tried to play it off. The officials saw the flinch and he was rightly called for a false start.Rookie running backs Nyheim Hines and Jordan Wilkins both received backfield snaps. Hines led the rookies with 26 snaps. He carried the ball 9 times for 28 yards and caught 2 passes for another 22 yards. Wilkins saw the field for 8 early offensive snaps and did not receive a rushing opportunity. He did catch two passes for 32 yards but coughed up a fumble that was recovered by the Dolphins. Second-year feature running back Marlon Mack played on 36 offensive snaps, leading the team with 15 attempts, 85 rushing yards and 2 receptions for 11 yards. His average of 5.7 yards per carry and long run of 25 yards were both impressive. A concussion on a helmet-to-helmet hit from Kiko Alonso has him in concussion protocol and uncertain for next week’s game in Jacksonville.DEFENSEEach week is the same story on defense https://www.coltsfanshop.com/Johnny-Unitas-Jersey , at least as it pertains to rookie contributions. No defensive player has a greater impact on the game than Darius Leonard. He took the field for 48 defensive snaps, missing only five after an early injury scare. He led the team with 10 tackles and had the defense’s only sack of the day. Leonard has stretched his tackle lead to 17 over the next defender and has played in 10 games — each of those players have played in 11. He is averaging 11.4 tackles per game. They are averaging 8.8. He also leads the team in sacks, on a team that rarely blitzes.Second round rookie ends Tyquan Lewis and Kemoko Turay both had opportunities. Surprisingly, Lewis more than doubled Turay’s snap count — 40 to 17 respectively. Neither rookie recorded a tackle but both collected quarterback hits. Lewis led the team with 2 and Turay added another. This is a situation worth monitoring as the team moves forward. Turay had really started showing signs of development so it is tough to fully speculate as to the reason Matt Eberflus felt like sticking with Lewis. Perhaps even more surprising is that Lewis received more snaps than Jabaal Sheard as well. It would be interesting to break down how many of those snaps were at defensive tackle.Tied with Turay was linebacker Matthew Adams, who used his 17 snaps to make three tackles, including a monster hit on DeVante Parker late in the fourth quarter to help force a three-and-out. Early in the season, Zaire Franklin was getting more opportunities on defense. Now, Adams has taken over those reps.Undrafted rookie linebacker Skai Moore also saw the field for 7 defensive snaps but did not record a tackle. He came onto the field to replace Darius Leonard for the five snaps he missed early in the game. The second-year defenders were led by Kenny Moore II and Malik Hooker, who both played on every defensive snap. Moore had two tackles and pass defensed. Hooker had two tackles and an unofficial pass breakup on what would have otherwise been a Quincy Wilson interception in the end zone.Linebacker Anthony Walker had another solid game. He used his 41 snaps to gather 9 tackles, two tackles for a loss and a pass defensed. He drew a defensive pass interference call early in the game playing aggressively in the middle of the field and nearly had a pick-six that he wasn’t able to haul-in — intended for Frank Gore. If he can continue to develop in coverage, the Colts could be in really good shape at linebacker in 2019.Corner Quincy Wilson was on the field for 36 defensive snaps and had one tackle with one pass defensed. The pass breakup was on great coverage in the end zone. Defensive tackle Grover Stewart saw the field for 13 snaps. His only contributions were a tackle that was waived off due to an offensive holding penalty and an embarrassing off-sides penalty that came during an obvious hard count situation at the end of the third quarter.
