The Patriots won and shut out the Dolphins last night by a score of 28-0. With this win, it means we get the first round bye and fall to the 2nd seed because the Houston Texans lost to the Indianapolis Colts yesterday. Let me say here, yesterday was a crazy day for football. A lot of things happened, including Adrian Peterson falling 9 yards short of the most rushing yards in a season. Another thing that happened was the Washington Redskins beat the Dallas Cowboys to go into the playoffs. That's right, rookie Robert Griffen the third and the Washington Redskins will be going to the playoffs. Ok, enough with that. So yesterday was a great game by the Patriots. Defense didn't let up any points, which is good for us going into the playoffs. Tom Brady threw 2 touchdowns and Rob Gronkowski came back up this game too. He didn't contribute much which is good because we need him to rest before the playoffs. Anyways, here's the grades.
Quarterback A
Tom Brady did a good job last night deserved the A. He worked hard and threw 2 touchdown passes. Wes Welker was his main man yesterday.
Offense A
Wes Welker, Danny Woodhead, and Stevan Ridley were the main ones who shined in our offense yesterday. Welker caught a touchdown pass and so did Rob Gronkowski. Ridley ran for 2 touchdowns.
Defense A+
The first time I'm giving an A+ because the defense let up 0 points, a shut out! Defense did great all night, including when the Dolphins were in the end zone for a couple times. They stopped plays and had sacks. It was just great.
Kicking A
Stephen Gostkowski did not have to go for any field goals and made in all extra points.

Player Of The Game: Tom Brady
The Pats played a great game heading into the playoffs. Now they'll have a week off to let all the other teams play. I think the Patriots are going to step it up with Rob Gronkowski and he's going to benefit us in the playoffs. Overall, the Patriots had a great season and finished 12-4. Tom Brady did great and so did the rest of our team, great season. Anyways, what do you think about this win? How do you think the Patriots will play in the playoffs? Comment!
