Well, the streak if finally over folks, after an amazing run of 21 straight regular-season victories the Patriots finally dropped one. They didn't just barely lose, the Dolphins dominated them on both sides on the ball. Ronnie Brown was the story in this game as he ran for 113 yards and 5 TDs (one of which was a 19 yard passing TD). Even Ricky Williams ran for 98 yards, as the Patriots couldn't stop anything the Dolphins were doing. Pennington only had 3 incompletions in the game, and the Dolphins rolled to the 38-13 victory. Cassell was off today, but this loss really wasn't his fault. He missed some open passes, but the Patriots were not getting anything from their running game, and Randy Moss looked like he was giving up on a couple of plays (not a good sign). The good thing for the Patriots is that they have a bye week next week, so hopefully they can plug some of these holes on defense, and get players like Maroney healthy and ready to run.
