Patriots vs. Dolphins: Live updates, score, highlights from Week 18

4 days ago 2

The New England Patriots will roll out the red carpet for the visiting Miami Dolphins for Sunday's regular-season finale at Gillette Stadium.

This divisional matchup will bring an end to an overall disappointing season for a Dolphins team that many expected to be a playoff contender. Shockingly, they are on the outside looking in with a 7-9 record and rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers starting in place of a healthy Tua Tagovailoa.

Ewers helped lead the Dolphins to a 20-17 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week. He will try to carry that momentum on the road for a tough matchup against the 13-3 Patriots.

Quarterback Drake Maye will be looking to cement his MVP status by torching the Dolphins a week after he threw for five touchdowns in a 42-10 win over the New York Jets. As for the Patriots, they could clinch the No. 1 or No. 2 seed with a win in this matchup. They would need the Los Angeles Chargers to upset the Denver Broncos to win the No. 1 seed.
