Patriots Win First Game Under Vrabel Over Dolphins 33-27

In their Week 2 matchup, the New England Patriots secured a 33-27 victory over the Miami Dolphins, led by an impressive performance from second-year quarterback Drake Maye. Maye completed 19 of 23 passes for 230 yards with two touchdowns and added a rushing touchdown, showing significant growth from his uneven season debut. The Patriots' offense was bolstered by key contributions from Rhamondre Stevenson, who led the team in both rushing and receiving yards, and receivers like Mack Hollins and Stefon Diggs who made critical catches. The game featured notable special teams highlights, including the first punt return and kickoff return touchdowns of the NFL season. Despite a solid showing from Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who threw for 315 yards and two touchdowns, Miami’s offense struggled with key mistakes, including an interception. The Patriots, now 1-1, appear optimistic about Maye's development, while the Dolphins drop to 0-2 amid concerns about their offensive consistency.
