After a so-so first half from Sun Life Stadium, the Monday nighter has come to life in the second half — and the Patriots have taken control not with their offense or their defense but with their special teams.
To start the third quarter, Brandon Tate took the opening kickoff the distance. Then, after forcing the Dolphins to punt, defensive back Patrick Chung blocked it, setting up a touchdown run from BenJarvus Green-Ellis.
Following a conventional touchdown from the Pats offense, Chung blocked a field goal attempt. Kyle Arrington eventually scooped it up, and he returned the ball 35 yards for a touchdown.
Miami special teams coordinator John Bonamego may not have a job come Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Pats linebacker Rob Ninkovich has two interceptions and a sack tonight.
New England leads, 34-14.

The Pat’s are tied atop the AFC east, and they have the Jets and Dolphins at home in the second half of the schedule. Sorry folks, they are only getting better. See ya in the playoffs!
And the defense just got a pick 6.
Bonamego graduated from Paw Paw High School in Paw Paw, Michigan.

Tom Brady is my fantasy QB. This is really starting to piss me off.
Hello Dolphins Fans.. hey good job tonight Henne looked great lmfao please… hey two night games at home in row ending in loss.. thats why the dolphins suck.. they never hold down home turf… henne can’t hold Brady’s jock
Pat Chung !!!
Dolphins fans? Hello? Where did everybody go?
Well, that was hilarious. Way to show up, Fins!
dominating performance…yet not by the OFFENSE!?
Miami’s Special Teams keep losing games for the Fins. This seems like a never ending story. They need to fire ST Coordinator John Bonamego on the spot!!! Dolphins’ ST suck since this regime took over (probably even longer…).
On a side note, add Rob Ninkovich to an endless list of Dolphins’ rejects who go on to be key contributors in New England…
NY Jets-2010 AFC East Champions

Nice to get one in Miami, not an easy thing for the Pats lately.
Does Brandon Marshall only have to play one out of 4 games to get paid. 4 catches, really?
Pats just showed the NFL they can in fact win on the road and in unconventional ways…lol.
