The New England Patriots are getting ready to face the Miami Dolphins in a divisional matchup that promises excitement.
Things already got off to a fun start on Thursday with Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel delivering a hilarious quote while praising Patriots coach Bill Belichick.

Miami is coming off a 36-34 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, while New England looks to bounce back from their loss against the Philadelphia Eagles.
New England is looking to make it two wins in a row against the rival Dolphins. They last met in Week 17 of the 2022 season. Teddy Bridgewater was starting under center at quarterback for the Dolphins, and the Patriots came away with a 23-21 victory.
Both teams will have a lot to gameplan for in what should be an interesting chess match. New England’s stout defense will go up against Miami’s high-powered offense. It’s one of the many interesting subplots in Sunday’s game, as New England looks to avoid a 0-2 slide to start the season.
It truly is remarkable to think Belichick has coached in New England in a tenure that spans over two decades. McDaniel’s hilarious quote certainly puts things in perspective.
