Watch: Patriots Block Punt, Julian Edelman Scores Amazing Touchdown Vs. Dolphins
The New England Patriots are focused on special teams in a different way when compared to other NFL teams. This was not a good year for them in this aspect, but they are finally gaining success in Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins. The Patriots trail 7-6, and the Miami Dolphins went pack to punt on the second drive. Albert McClellan managed to block it. They managed to follow up with a quick drive, a few runs, a first down to receiver Julian Edelman, and a touchdown to him.
The Patriots are struggling to find an opportunity to clinch the AFC East this Sunday. This win would bring them four games ahead of the stadium with three weeks left, giving them at least a top-four seed in the playoffs. The Patriots need to win this game, and the Dolphins will have to win, too. New England lost four of their past five contests in Miami, and head coach Bill Belichick is only 8-10 at that place. The Dolphins are the only team to try to bug the Patriots. But, New England is ready to win this game, thanks to Julian Edelman and James Develin.

Stephen Gostkowski had his second extra point effort to give his team a 13-7 lead. If you take a closer look to the offensive play of New England, it is more than clear that the Patriots have a great chance of winning the contest in Miami. They will need a few more great plays on their defense and some help of the special teams.

The Dolphins are doing their best to win this game because they played really bad in the last few games. This season is really bad for them, and they will struggle more than necessary to secure their position in the league. How will this game end?
