Two New England Patriots streaks ended Sunday: their 11-year playoff streak, the longest in NFL history, and their nine-game winning streak against starting rookie quarterbacks. The Patriots lost 22-12 to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, a defeat that eliminated them from the playoffs for the first time since 2008 and just the second time since 2003. Tua Tagovailoa became the first rookie starting quarterback to notch a victory against the Pats since Geno Smith in 2013. The Patriots couldn’t pull… Source link

Behind head coach Tony Sparano, quarterback Chad Pennington and the running back duo of Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, the Miami Dolphins won the AFC East in 2008. The next year, behind Tom Brady’s return from a torn ACL, the New England Patriots took back the division crown. That started one of the most impressive streaks in NFL history, as the Patriots won the next 11 division titles. The previous record was seven in a row. In the age of parity, teams aren’t supposed to control a… Source link
