Wow Miami Leading the league in...
Wow Miami is Leading the league on both sides of the ball
in the Red Zone plus short yardage as well. Impressive!
----
Red zone workout
The Patriots spent yesterday working on red zone offense and defense, no mean task considering that the Dolphins are leading the league in that area both offensively and defensively.
``It's a little bit unusual to be on top of the league on both sides of the ball on that,'' said Pats coach Bill Belichick. ``They're also leading the league in short yardage offense and defense, so those are areas they've done very well in - keeping people out of the end zone, getting the ball into the end zone, and converting on those third-and-shorts. We'll have a little extra preparation in those areas this week, as well as third down and two minute, those special situations.
``(The Dolphins) do a good job on a lot of things, but the red area has really been good for them,'' said the coach. ``It seems like every week it has helped them win one of these last four games, keeping people out of there and missed field goals and all of that and they're getting it in themselves.
``That's what happened to us down there last year, too (the Pats lost, 26-13). They got down to the red area and they got touchdowns out of all of their opportunities. That led to a lot of points.''
