The Miami Dolphins are now 0-2 in the NFL regular season after suffering a 34- 21 loss to the New England Patriots. Going into the half with a 21- 0 scoreboard the Dolphins had to figure out how to put some points on the board. Late in the second quarter, Dolphins linebacker Kiko Alonso changed the game with a direct shot on Patriots quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. The hit on Garoppolo’s right shoulder knocked him out of the game, forcing the Patriots to put in rookie third-string Jacoby Brissett. The Dolphins picked up the pace in the second half outscoring New England 21-7—but it wasn’t enough.
