Tom Brady's rhythm was disrupted by a spirited Miami defense, but the Patriots capitalized on several miscues on their way to a 23-16 victory at Sun Life Stadium. Brady was 24-of-40 for 238 yards with one touchdown pass to Wes Welker and a rare interception. Stevan Ridley scored on a short touchdown run and picked up critical yards on a fourth-quarter drive to help New England (9-3) prevail and capture the division crown for the 10th time in 12 years. Welker had 103 yards on 12 grabs, tying Jerry Rice's NFL record for most games with 10-plus receptions at 17. Rookie Ryan Tannehill completed 13-of-29 passes and finished with 186 yards for the Dolphins (5-7). Source: Sports Network

I have a hard time seeing them as a SB team with that D and no Gronk. They were damn lucky to get there last year too, just not complete.
Intend to agree. The AFC rep, whether its the Pats, dolphins or whoever, are going to be the hottest team come these last few weeks.
Pats got a LOT of help yesterday, but I am happy that the Dolphins were able to hang with Brady again and keep him to his worst performance of the season. This team is close.
