In Week 1.
Brady passed for a employment-high 517 yards and four touchdowns, as New England piled up a franchise-enumerate 622 yards.
“Nothing worked — man, zone, pressure, restrain. He completed everything,” said Dolphins interim coach Todd Bowles, the body’s defensive backs coach for that game.
Defensive coordinator Mike Nolan called it the worst courageous of his 25-year coaching career.
“They put up 600-something yards,” Nolan said Wednesday. “You find out about that in college. But you don’t hear about that in the NFL.”
Said safety Yeremiah Bell: “It was discomfiting and something you don’t forget, especially from a division foe. To come into our house and put it on us like that — that’s something we clearly remember and something we want to avenge.”
The Dolphins (5-9) will get their shot at redemption Saturday at 1 p.m. at Gillette Coliseum.
Although the Dolphins can’t do much more than impede the Patriots (11-3) from clinching retreat-field advantage in the playoffs, collectively Saturday’s plan means a lot to Miami’s defense. Beat Brady and it can be established the turnaround over its past seven games isn’t the just issue of facing struggling offenses such as the Chiefs, Bills or Redskins.
