"It gave Head Coach Mike Vrabel his first win with the team and showcased the talents of the team's second-year quarterback, Drake Maye. After a less-than-optimal Week 1 loss to the Raiders at Gillette Stadium, the team went into Miami seeking a seldom-seen win. Miami has never been an easy place for the Patriots to play, but Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa had never been beaten at all by a Patriots team in his previous five years in the NFL."
"Quarterback Drake Maye had had a decent game in the Week 1 loss to the Raiders. Yet, he and Patriots Nation knew he had to do a lot better if the team was to avoid another loss to the Dolphins in Miami and an 0-2 record beginning to the Vrabel-era in Foxborough. Thankfully, Maye rose to the occasion with the finest game of his career."
The New England Patriots left Miami with a hard-fought win at Hard Rock Stadium. Head Coach Mike Vrabel recorded his first win with the team. Second-year quarterback Drake Maye delivered a career performance. Maye produced the second-highest Week 2 quarterback rating in the league at 137.3. The Patriots snapped a streak in which Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa had never been beaten by New England in his previous five NFL seasons. Key contributions came from Antonio Gibson, Marte Mapu, Harold Landry III, and free agent Milton Williams. Jared Goff posted the only higher Week 2 rating.
