The New England Patriots will spend Christmas Eve searching for their seventh straight win when they host the Miami Dolphins on Saturday.
New England has not lost since a Week 9 defeat to the New York Giants, rattling off six consecutive wins behind the ever-productive Tom Brady and a defense that has grown a reputation for bending but not breaking. New England snapped Denver's six-game winning streak last time out, outscoring the Broncos 41-23.
The Patriots opened the season against the Dolphins, handily beating Miami 38-24 as Tom Brady passed for a career-high 517 yards and four touchdowns.
Miami has become far more competitive since the beginning of the season, winning five of its last seven games after a season-opening seven-game skid.
Game Date/Time: Saturday, December 24; 1:00pm ET
Location: Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, MA
TV Schedule: CBS WBZ-TV
Radio Schedule: 98.5 THE SPORTS HUB
