1970 merger, yet we have the fewest number of teams that much a winning record. there are only six other teams with a winning record. you have these five. patriots will be the first to get to 7-0 here tonight. bengals and pittsburgh. denver and green bay. they'll be playing in the mile high city on sunday. as carolina will be hosting indianapolis. third and 10. to matthews. trying to set some blockers up but the patriots help bust it up. it will be fourth down coming up. phil: of course they're going to go for it. a field goal does nothing. i tell you, they were rolling, everything was all excitement. hey, we were excited about the miami dolphins tonight and reality hit them here tonight. you see how far they are away from being a championship team. jim: fourth and 5.

sims hauls it in. it wasn't going to be the easiest position to be in because it's a complicated week anytime you play the patriots and when you have the short week on top of it, you're traveling. phil: got a new defensive coordinator so that's tough on him getting ready for an offense that does so many different things. new head coach, been on the job for a couple of weeks. jim: to the end zone and just out of reach for stills. so after tonight, the east looks like to. miami and new england meet for the second time week 17 on january 3. but you look at the dolphins, 0-

3 in the division. tannehill. taken down by mccourty. mayo was giving chase also. phil: mccourty once again off the outside. it was patrick chung one time. they switch position, this time mccourty comes. same blitz, nobody there to block him, gets the sack. jim: and that's the fifth sack registered by the patriot defense. and now third and 23. knocked down by logan ryan, who had an interception earlier in this game. phil: you know, they lost darrelle revis. everybody thought boy, this is going to be such a completely different team. what will they do? i think they've gotten better up

this type of coverage where they just play man-to-man and they're getting better at this as the year goes along. that's what you have to do in league now. if you can't cover and knock down passes like that you're going to be in big trouble. jim: they have to get to the 7 for a first. fourth down play. they're after him again. tannehill. throws it toward the end zone. jump pass. knocked down and the patriots will take over on downs.

rookie justin coleman as well. jim: thursday night football, again, only on nfl network starting next week. the bengals and the browns. we bring it to you, the nfl network. garoppolo is in at quarterback. that's white at running back.

year out of eastern illinois takes over as brady retires for the evening. another stellar performance, phil. phil: yeah, just a terrific performance and i have a chance and you do too, to talk to the coaches and players and we felt a great concern from the coaches of the patriots about the match-ups, which we talked about. does it really matter when you talk about the patriots? no matter what happens they're going to score. you have to find a way to score 30 points to have a chance to beat them. referee: offside, number 78, defense. lined up in the neutral zone. five-yard penalty. remains second down. jim: to your point on this 30-point discussion. you have to put up 30. they put up 28 in the first game against pittsburgh and every game now after that they've scored at least 30. more than 30. phil: you and i sit around talk about keys to the game and

the dolphins was what? how do you score over 30 because no matter what you do to this patriots offense, they figure it out during the game and they find the matchups they want and they exploit them. jim: second and 4. that's white. had a prominent role in the game last week and he's knocked back for a loss of one. you start looking down the line at the patriots' schedule. they have some games the likes of at denver. we'll see them at the new york giants. they have a game at the new york jets but this is a team that already, the whispers are out there. is this going to be like that team of a few years ago? phil: those whispers are not

that's for sure. jim: coming up next, the "the mazda postgame show."

of tonight's game. the patriots get the mini bye this weekend and then they'll be back at home a week from sunday hosting the redskins. that will be the national late afternoon game on cbs. november 15. at new york giants. often a nemesis for new england. phil: yeah, i would say that's a good word for it. jim: buffalo comes here. at denver. phil: you ever notice just watching the patriots sideline, just watching tom brady. "thursday night football." we hear it constantly. it's such a grind for the guys to get ready but they all say the same thing. boy, it's going to be great to get the weekend off. just think, when you win, that makes the weekend much, much sweeter. jim: third and 35. grob lo hands off to white and he's stacked up.

one last clans for the dolphins offense to try to do a little something here with the football. but miami has had so far only 14 yards rushing and if it remains at that figure, it would be the third lowest total rushing in a game in miami's history. this is coming off -- miller loon last week had 175 in a half. another punt fielded back deep, from the 5-yard line. phil: i don't know fit says something about the patriots defense or the two teams they played before the -- the dolphins, that is. jim: 57-yard punt. brady to gronkowski on the opening drive. lewis, who had, especially in that first half, a huge part in things. then finding edelman in the second half.

so he could get maybe some practice reps in the off-season with brady and quite a chemistry was formed this summer. edelman and amendola joined brady up at the vacation home in montana. they worked running routes starting at 6:00 in the morning at altitude. extreme altitude. phil: i would say this. if you're a quarterback in the nfl and you kind of watch this game. all the quarterbacks watch each other. there's a lot to learn from tom brady. and the fact is you can keep your skill level high as you get older. tom brady, 38 and, you know, that's what you have to do. you have to keep working at your craft and what makes you successful, he's a great quarterback because he throws the football so well, among many other things. jim: stills, the catch and a first down. again, the "the mazda postgame show" will come up.

of tonight's game. closing seconds here. the pass tipped up in the air and incomplete. we'll have the browns at the bengals next week and if i may borrow a little line that was used around here one time. it's for us, on to cincinnati. phil: here we go. you know, talking about the bengals, looking forward to seeing them next week. what a difference getting some of their players back that they didn't have in the playoff game we did last year when they played the indianapolis colts. their offense is maybe not quite as explosive or as good as the patriots has been this year but not far behind. jim: jonas gray.

but that will do it. pick up a big gain with that last one but of little consequence as belichick and the patriots now in the last four meetings here in gillette against miami have outscored them by nearly 100. 132-47 over the last four years here. edelman tonight with seven catches, 81 yards and two touchdowns. phil: yep. everybody contributes when you talk about this patriots football team on both side of the ball. start looking down at all the people that caught passes tonight. three different runners carried the ball.

as belichick went over to congratulate him. one of his favorite players going boo the franchise hall of fame tonight. -- into the franchise hall of fame tonight. all right, tracy, let's send it to you again. trevor: i'm with julian edelman. four-touchdown night for brady, two of those to you in the second half. what can you say about the chemistry you two have together? >> we got some chemistry but we have chemistry with everyone. everyone is out there producing. made some big plays coming off of p.u.p. gronk being gronk. having little dirty out there, dion, he's doing well. defense had some turnovers. we have to get better on third down but it was good. trevor: how about the way this team came out in a short week against a really confident miami team coming in? >> it was good. we knew he had a tough battle.

these guys have been playing very confident. they've been playing tough for anywhere new coach. it was about preparation, getting in there and going in and doing everything you could to try and out-prepare them and i think we prepared well. trevor: thanks a lot, congratulations. >> thank you. jim: you heard her ask about that chemistry with brady. they didn't know each other as kids but grew -- grew up not even 10 minutes apart south of san francisco. san mateo for. to redwood, julian. their two home towns just minutes away from the site of super bowl 50 in santa clara. "the mazda postgame show" is coming up. back with more after this. lilly baker is preparing for college. she'll use that education to get a job. she'll use that job to buy a home. this is lilly baker.
