LIVE GAME COVERAGE

Fourth quarter

• Dolphins drive the field as the Chiefs are winning. DOLPHINS 27, PATRIOTS 24.


• Screen to White with a key block by Mason gives Patriots their first lead. PATRIOTS 24, DOLPHINS 20.


• Huge third-down conversion to Sanu.


• Dolphins drive the field but only get a field goal. DOLPHINS 20, PATRIOTS 17.

• Patriots finally get a sack and force a punt near the end of the quarter.


• Patriots answer with an Elandon Roberts TD. DOLPHINS 17, PATRIOTS 17.

• First and goal for Miami. Fitzpatrick runs it in past Bentley. DOLPHINS 17, PATRIOTS 10.


• Three-and-out to start the second half for the Patriots and Sanu runs a bad route on third down.

• Patriots give up before halftime. Has to be concern over Brady throwing the ball. I have nothing else.


• Brady doesn't have much on the ball today. Even the pass to Dorsett was dying. Wind not an issue. He can still get loose.


• Patriots get a prayer pass to Dorsett and then Michel goes in behind Roberts. DOLPHINS 10, PATRIOTS 10.


• Huge third-down drop by the Dolphins that would have given them a chance to wind the clock down before halftime.


• Only a field goal as Brady misfires twice to end the drive. Harry hurt right shoulder. DOLPHINS 10, PATRIOTS 3.


• Patriots get a gift DPI, but some nice Michel and Burkhead runs a good back-shoulder from Harry and the Patriots are moving.


• Pick-six by Eric Rowe and we have a developing situation. DOLPHINS 10, PATRIOTS 0.


• 3.54 hang and it stops short, tipped back by Slater. Dolphins ball at the 4.


• Well, now Watson was flagged. That was weird.

• Patriots get a gift PI, and then get away with OPI.


• Poor pass by Fitzpatrick leads to a field goal. DOLPHINS 3, PATRIOTS 0.


• Patriots burned on another cover zero, and Dolphins are in business.


• Harry tossed on 3rd and short. Punt.


• After two Miami first downs, a sack by Guy on a screen.


• Dolphins punt on 4th and 3 ... actually, they run a fake punt and it was awful.
