MIAMI --
Every year there is a hot team down the stretch that no one wants to face. The Miami Dolphins could be that team after improving to 3-0 in December with a thrilling, 24-20 victory over the New England Patriots on Sunday.
Miami improved to 8-6 and snapped a seven-game losing streak to New England (10-4) in earning its most important win of the season.
The Dolphins now own victories over what could end up being half of the AFC's six-team playoff field. They beat the Indianapolis Colts on the road in Week 2, upended the Cincinnati Bengals on Halloween night and split the season series with New England.
Who is to say the Dolphins can't be a threat if they get into the playoffs?
"We can be real scary," cornerback Brent Grimes said after the game. "We got a lot of talent. ... We can play with anybody."
