Kinda think this will be one of those Kitchen Sink games for the #Dolphins . Let's see what they have in store on special teams and offense

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/30/2015 12:24:16 AM
Tom Brady is 8-0 on Thursday night. He's about to take the offense onto the field. Time for some football.

by Michael Whitmer via twitter 10/30/2015 12:26:24 AM
Blount gets the first snap tonight, two tight ends

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/30/2015 12:27:17 AM
#Patriots have double teamed Suh on all four snaps so far

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/30/2015 12:29:22 AM
Yup, #Dolphins . You're not playing the #Texans or #Titans anymore #Gronk

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/30/2015 12:32:43 AM
LaFell gets the first assist on the Gronk touchdown. Great block on Michael Thomas

Tom Brady to Rob Gronkowski for a 47-yard TD. #Patriots lead 7-0. #NEvsMIA

by Jim McBride via twitter 10/30/2015 12:33:25 AM
Look at Gronk showing off some speed. 47-yard TD on Patriots first drive.

by Michael Whitmer via twitter 10/30/2015 12:33:34 AM
Gronk 47 yard touchdown is his 7th of the year. #Patriots take a 7-0 lead with 10:12 left 1Q. Scoring drive: 8 plays, 80 yards in 4:48

Ghostbusters now playing at Gillette. Happy Halloween. #rayparkerjr . #NEvsMIA

by Jim McBride via twitter 10/30/2015 12:37:23 AM
#Patriots say 47 yards is Gronk's second-longest TD of his career. He had a 52-yarder in 2011

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/30/2015 12:37:38 AM
Hightower just pushed Miller halfway to Walpole. #NEvsMIA

by Jim McBride via twitter 10/30/2015 12:39:46 AM
Freeny is out instead of Mayo again. #Patriots come out with a single high safety http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CShoyIFUcAAUMJC.jpg

#Dolphins RT Ju'Waun James limps off. Backup Jason Fox into the game

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/30/2015 12:41:30 AM
That was the second longest TD pass from Brady to Gronk. The longest was 52 yards in 2011 against the Chiefs.

Brady to Gronk. Patriots touchdown #NEvsMIA #TNF

Tannehill has completions of 15 & 17 yds on the first drive. Last week, by the time he had thrown a ball in the air that far Mia was up 41-0

by Christopher Gasper via twitter 10/30/2015 12:44:43 AM
Grissom and Easley miss Tannehill, but Chandler Jones cleans up the mess. League-high 7.5 sacks this year

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/30/2015 12:45:44 AM
Dolphins tried the same kind of throwback screen they used against the Texans with success last week. Denied.

by Christopher Gasper via twitter 10/30/2015 12:46:03 AM
Ju'Waun James to the locker room on a golf cart

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/30/2015 12:46:15 AM
No rotating on the OL tonight. L to R Vollmer, Kline, Andrews, Jackson, Fleming with Wendell as the super sub

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/30/2015 12:47:40 AM
Koa Misi, you got #Dion 'd

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/30/2015 12:48:23 AM
Well, that was a filthy move by Dion Lewis.

by Michael Whitmer via twitter 10/30/2015 12:48:26 AM
What a move by Dion Lewis! And again. #NEvsMIA

by Jim McBride via twitter 10/30/2015 12:48:55 AM
This was Gronk's 61st career touchdown catch. 60 from Brady, 1 from Garoppolo

Rachel G Bowers, Producer 10/30/2015 12:49:32 AM
After 7 straight completions, finally an incomplete pass by Brady.

by Michael Whitmer via twitter 10/30/2015 12:50:26 AM
Go for it

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/30/2015 12:50:43 AM
Brady. Automatic.

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/30/2015 12:51:29 AM
After that conversion, the Patriots are now 3 for 6 on fourth down this season.

by Rachel G Bowers, Producer via twitter 10/30/2015 12:52:43 AM
These chop block/clipping penalties might cost the players $8 ,681 in fines http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CShrzZoWoAA6S3U.png

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/30/2015 12:53:44 AM
Gronk wanted pass interference or defensive holding on Reshad Jones. No dice

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/30/2015 12:56:52 AM
At the end of the first quarter, Gronk and Dion Lewis each have 54 yards receiving. Gronk on two catches, Lewis on three.

Safety dance

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/30/2015 1:01:56 AM
Shades of Peyton Manning in the Super Bowl on that one. Tannehill never saw it coming

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/30/2015 1:02:28 AM
Safety for Patriots. 9-0. Safety Dance plays. #menwithouthats #80snight #NEvsMIA
