MIAMI GARDENS Womens Deatrich Wise Jr Jersey , Fla. (AP) — Tom Brady visited with his family in the postgame locker room Sunday while the New England Patriots were still trying to figure out how they had just lost.Brady’s young daughter offered an explanation.“Daddy,” she said, “I think the reason you lost is there were more people cheering for the Dolphins.”Especially at the end. Kenyan Drake ran the last 52 yards as the Dolphins scored on a pass and double lateral on the final 69-yard play Sunday to stun New England 34-33.“They made a good play,” Brady said. “They did a good job executing it. They got it to their fast guys.”Miami’s “Drake Escape” prevented the Patriots from clinching their 10th consecutive AFC East title.“It’s going to test our character big time to bounce back from something like that,” tight end Rob Gronkowski said.Drake sprinted into the corner of the end zone past Gronkowski, whose role as part of the Patriots’ prevent defense invited second-guessing.But while the game will be remembered for the final seconds, the Patriots (9-4) could blame many other plays for a role in the defeat.They reached the Miami 2 at the end of the first half and failed to score. Stephen Gostkowski missed an extra point and a 42-yard field goal. They opted to kick a field goal in the final seconds, which gave Miami better field position to try for a last-second miracle.“It shouldn’t have come down to that,” said Brady http://www.patriotslockerroom.com/authentic-james-harrison-jersey , who threw for three scores. “We left a lot more points on the board offensively.”The defense allowed the Dolphins to rush for 189 yards — 9.0 per carry — and gave up three touchdown passes by Ryan Tannehill.But it was squandered scoring chances that seemed to annoy the Patriots the most.“We missed opportunities,” coach Bill Belichick said. “We’ve just got to do a better job.”The most glaring failure came at the end of the first half. With 14 seconds left and no timeouts, Brady took the snap at the Miami 2, and when he was sacked by Robert Quinn the clock ran out, leaving the Patriots to settle for a 27-21 lead.“That was a terrible play by me,” Brady said. “I lost track — I thought we had one timeout. I was just not thinking. So it was just a play that should never happen.”Gostkowski missed an extra point for the first time in 38 tries this season. On a field goal try, he missed from inside 50 yards for only the second time.Belichick opted to have Gostkowski kick a 22-yarder in the closing seconds rather than try for a clinching TD or — worst-case scenario — give the Dolphins the ball near their goal line. Instead, Miami returned the ensuing kickoff to the 31, and scored on the next play.Tannehill threw a 14-yard pass to Kenny Stills Isaiah Wynn Jersey , who lateraled to DeVante Parker, who lateraled to Drake along the sideline at midfield. He found a lane and beat two defenders to the corner of the end zone — defensive back J.C. Jackson and Gronkowski.The 6-foot-6 Gronkowski was part of the last line of defense in anticipation of a desperation pass, Belichick said. Instead Miami opted for a pass and lateral that unfolded slowly, and Gronkowski stumbled in pursuit of Drake.“I didn’t think it was going to get to me,” Gronkowski said. “I’ve never really been a part of anything like that.” CINCINNATI (AP) — Defensive end Sam Hubbard dreamed about chasing Ravens, Steelers and Browns quarterbacks around the field someday.Early in the Bengals‘ first prime time game of the season, the rookie sacked Joe Flacco for a key play in Cincinnati’s decisive start.The third-round pick from Cincinnati has a lot of company in the up-and-coming category. The Bengals (2-0) are getting the biggest plays from some of their newest players, especially on a defense that has given up a lot of yards but forced decisive turnovers at the end.The young players were expected to add depth at the start of the season, but they’ve wound up changing the course of games.“It’s very encouraging Womens Danny Etling Jersey ,” said end Carlos Dunlap , the third-oldest player on the defense at age 29. “I feel this year more than any, we have a 1A and 1B of pass rushers and run stoppers.”And, so far, playmakers who stepped into starring roles well ahead of expectations.In the season opener, Andrew Luck was driving the Colts to what would have been a winning touchdown when second-year safety Clayton Fejedelem stripped tight end Jack Doyle of the ball at the Cincinnati 15-yard line and returned it for a touchdown and a 34-23 win .Fejedelem was in the game because veteran safety Shawn Williams was ejected in the first quarter for a hit on Luck. Fejedelem wound up playing alongside rookie safety Jessie Bates.The Bengals’ 34-23 win over the Ravens on Thursday night featured more important moments from newcomers. Hubbard’s sack set up a Ravens punt during a 21-point Cincinnati spurt in the first half.End Michael Johnson — the oldest player on defense at age 31 — suffered a knee injury on his fourth play and didn’t return. Hubbard wound up playing 50 of the defense’s 85 snaps.“We were coming in waves all night,” Hubbard said. “Mike went down early, and we stepped up and rallied together. Whoever was fresh was going out there and trying to make a play. We just kept coming and just trying to wear them down.”With linebacker Preston Brown hurt and Vontaze Burfict suspended, third-year linebacker Nick Vigil played all 85 snaps and led with nine tackles and one pass batted away.Young players were involved in everything. Bates was on the field for all but one snap and had a first-quarter interception that set up the Bengals’ first touchdown.Second-year ends Carl Lawson and Jordan Willis were on the field for 53 and 49 snaps Youth Isaiah Wynn Jerseys , respectively. Second-year tackle Ryan Glasgow played 28 snaps.The decisive play came as the Ravens were trying to put together a tying drive with just under three minutes left, trailing 31-23. Williams hit Flacco as he tried to pass, causing a fumble that Willis recovered at the Ravens 29-yard line. Randy Bullock’s field goal with 2:25 left sealed it.Luck threw for 319 yards in the opener and the Colts piled up 380 yards overall. Flacco threw for 376 yards and the Ravens had 425 in all. The Bengals made enough plays to offset their youthful mistakes.“The young guys are believing,” said seventh-year cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick. “I’ve got to admit, I used to be inconsistent, being a little selfish, but you’ve got to grow up. You’ve got young guys that are watching. They’re looking, and I don’t want to give off the wrong message.”The Bengals are off to only their fifth 2-0 start under coach Marvin Lewis, who is in his 16th season. He’s got the youngest team in Bengals history — 35 of the 53 players are age 25 or younger. So far Isaiah Wynn Jerseys Stitched , it’s passing the test.“Everything’s new around here now, and it’s a great feeling,” Kirkpatrick said.BULLOCK EXTENSION: Bullock signed a two-year extension on Tuesday through the 2020 season. He was in the final year of a two-year deal. He’s made 27 of 30 field-goal attempts and 45 of 47 extra-point attempts since joining the Bengals during the 2016 season. He has made all of his four field-goal attempts and all eight extra-point attempts this season.
