After starting off the 2024 season with a 1-3 record, the New England Patriots will host the Miami Dolphins on Sunday at Gillette Stadium for just their second home game this year.
New England has struggled through their first four contests due to injuries and poor performance while Miami has the same record as they’ve lost quarterback Tua Tagovailoa to yet another concussion.
This Week 5 matchup probably won’t be the most exciting football fans have ever seen, but the result is still important for both teams.
