The Splash Zone 12/8/18: Previewing Sunday’s Game Against The Patriots

The New England Patriots are coming to town tomorrow and will look to clinch the AFC East with a win against the Dolphins. The one good thing the Dolphins have going for them is that the Patriots have struggled in Miami for whatever reason. The Patriots are a beatable team and haven’t looked as dominant as they once were. But the defense could be in a ton of trouble as Xavien Howard will miss the game.
