Miami stuns Patriots, 29-28
MIAMI (AP) – Tom Brady threw a dumb pass and A.J. Feeley threw a beauty, finally giving the Miami Dolphins something to savor in this long, miserable season: an upset of the New England Patriots. With Brady’s ugly interception providing an opening, Miami scored two touchdowns in the final 2:07 to stun the Patriots 29-28 Monday night.
The much-maligned Feeley threw for the game-winning score, a 21-yard touchdown pass to Derrius Thompson on fourth-and-10 with 1:23 left.
The stunning victory rivaled the biggest in Dolphins’ history, because they’ve rarely been so woeful. With the win, Miami (3-11) avoided being swept by AFC East opponents this season.
New England (12-2), which has already clinched the AFC East, lost ground to Pittsburgh (13-1) in the race for a first-round playoff bye and home-field advantage. The defeat was just the second in 29 games for the defending Super Bowl champions.
