The Miami Dolphins' undefeated start to the season came with

excitement heading into their matchup at New England.That buzz went flat again — in a familiar place — following Miami's lopsided 38-7 loss to their AFC East rivals .The Dolphins (3-1) were looking to improve to 4- 0 for the first time since 1995 — Hall of Fame coach Don Shula's final season.Instead White Jeremy Hill Jerseys , they were humbled in every phase during Sunday's dizzying setback.Ryan Tannehill had been a steadying presence for the Dolphins' offense during the first three weeks of the season, completing 73 percent of his passes for seven touchdowns with just two interceptions, improving to 10-1 over 11 starts in that span.But he regressed against the Patriots (2-2), looking every bit like the quarterback that is now 0-6 in games at Foxborough.Tannehill finished 11 for 20 for 100 yards and an interception. He was pulled in the fourth quarter in favor of Brock Osweiler. Osweiler connected with Frank Gore for a 6-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter for Miami's lone score."Not a lot went right for us. It's tough to say one thing at this point because we didn't really execute any part of the game plan that we wanted to," Tannehill said. "To say one thing is going to be difficult this time, and I don't think it will ever be one thing."In his six losses at New England, he has just 837 passing yards, four TDs and two INTs.With Tannehill ineffective, the offense struggled to make first downs. It went 3 for 11 on third down while managing just 172 yards."We didn't come out and start the game like we wanted to Jeremy Hill Jerseys 2019 ," Tannehill said. "We didn't convert on third down, we didn't take care of the football, we didn't gain yardage. We didn't do anything we wanted to, so lot of work to do."Miami also relapsed to a team prone to self-inflicted wounds, amassing 10 penalties for 89 yards. Last season the Dolphins' offense led the league in penalties (65) and penalty yards (553).As bad as it looked, running back Kenyan Drake said it was just a shot to the system and not something they can't bounce back from."We're in a good seat," Drake said. I mean, this loss hurts. You know, we wanted to definitely get a 'W White Phillip Dorsett Jerseys ,' but we're looking to get things rolling in the other quarter (of the season). So, the thing is we've got to get those things corrected."FINDING POSITIVESIf there was one positive takeaway from Sunday's loss, it might have come on the defensive side of the ball.The Dolphins managed to pick off quarterback Tom Brady twice. Cornerback Bobby McCain snared one on Brady's deep, third down pass over the middle in the first quarter.It was Brady's third interception of the season. He didn't throw his third interception last season until Week 11 against Miami. Minkah Fitzpatrick got the other in the fourth quarter .It marked the Miami defense's ninth interception this season. It had nine all last season.It's why Miami linebacker Kiko Alonso said there is still plenty to be excited about in their locker room going forward."Although it was ugly, it is just one loss," Alonso said. "We are on to Cincinnati and obviously we have to get better."NOT CLOSEThe Dolphins entered the day having won all three of their games this season by one score or less — amassing a record of 16-5 under coach Adam Gase.They are 3-13 in games decided by more than one score.INJURY UPDATEMiami was already down a safety with Reshad Jones sitting out Sunday's game with a shoulder injury.Add cornerback Bobby McCain to the list of players on the mend after he left the loss with a knee injury. Dolphins center Daniel Kilgore also left the game in the first half with an arm injury.Gase didn't have an update on the severity of McCain's ailment."Obviously him not coming back into the game wasn't a really great sign," Gase said.Follow Kyle Hightower on Twitter at ://khightower After Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels jilted the Colts last year, some thought he had blown his shot at other head-coaching opportunities. A year later, McDaniels has multiple potential suitors.Getting an interview is one thing; getting an offer could be quite another.For now Phillip Dorsett Jerseys 2019 , it’s possible that teams like the Packers, Browns, and Bengals simply want to pick McDaniels’ brain regarding life with a franchise quarterback (OK, that may leave out the Bengals), given that Green Bay has one on the wrong side of 35 and Cleveland has one on the right side of 25. Before anyone would extend McDaniels an offer of employment, he’ll surely need to answer tough questions about why he did what he did a year ago, and whether there’s a chance he’d do it again.Chances are he knows he can’t, that if he accepts an offer on a wink-nod basis before the Patriots end their playoff run, he’d have no choice but to honor it this time White Stephon Gilmore Jerseys , lest he never be trusted again. Still, the real question is whether McDaniels can be trusted not simply to show up if he unofficially accepts, but whether if he couldn’t be trusted a year ago with a fairly big thing he can be trusted now and in the future with a wide array of little things.This isn’t about sticking it to the Colts and owner Jim Irsay. Billion-dollar businesses stick it to all sorts of people all the time, to the point where they’re numb to it. This is about sticking it to men who accepted employment and uprooted families under the assumption that McDaniels was taking the Colts job. That human element made McDaniels’ about face even more stunning, despite the fact that it was widely rumored to be a real possibility last year in the days before the Super Bowl.In 2019, will McDaniels be able to line up a coaching staff if New England beats the Texans, Ravens, or Chargers next Saturday and then the Chiefs, Colts Stephon Gilmore Jerseys 2019 , Ravens, or Chargers the following week? Will anyone roll the dice on McDaniels being a man of his word based on the manner in which he broke his word last year?A wise man once told me you lose your integrity only once. No matter what the eventual explanation from McDaniels, the fact that he didn’t follow through after reaching what necessarily was the point of no return (especially for those who relied on him) should create real concerns not only regarding whether he’ll actually show up this time, but whether he’ll have true and complete credibility after he does.
