Dolphins vs Patriots on Sunday: Miami Hosts New England at Hard Rock Stadium Chasing a Second Straight Win
The 1-5 Dolphins come home off a 28-25 win over the Jets to face the 4-3 Patriots in a Week 8 AFC East game Sunday at 4:25 p.m. Eastern at Hard Rock Stadium, on CBS.
Sunday football comes home to Miami Gardens this weekend. The Miami Dolphins host the New England Patriots at Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday, November 1, with kickoff at 4:25 p.m. Eastern (3:25 p.m. Central) in an NFL Week 8 matchup, according to the Sportradar schedule read by the Sports Desk this morning. CBS carries the game, with Andrew Catalon on the call alongside Logan Ryan and sideline reporter AJ Ross, according to Athlon Sports' viewing guide.
Miami enters at 1-5 - but with something it has not carried into a home game yet this season: momentum. The Dolphins' most recent game was a 28-25 win over the New York Jets at the Meadowlands, their first victory of the season, and Sunday is their first chance to turn one win into two in front of the home crowd. New England arrives at 4-3, and the visitors are trying to improve to 3-0 against AFC East opponents this season, according to the Florida Sports Blog preview read this run.
It is the first of the two meetings between the division rivals this season, so Sunday sets the terms for the rematch rather than settling anything. For the Dolphins, the football question is the one Athlon's guide posed all week: whether the momentum from the Meadowlands can travel home against a division opponent. Kickoff is 4:25 p.m. Eastern on CBS.
