Antonio Gibson ripped off a 90-yard kickoff return TD, with Mike Vrabel sprinting in lockstep beside him as New England seized momentum late against Miami. A prior Dolphins punt return TD by Malik Washington set the stage, but the Patriots answered with a game-changing special-teams sequence that electrified the sideline and boosted playoff aspirations.

Gibson's big-play moment, paired with Vrabel’s viral sideline hustle, underscored the Patriots' return-game potential and added a fresh variable for fantasy managers to watch. Stefon Diggs kept things light postgame, while New England finally beat Miami in Miami for the first time since 2019, a result with ripple effects in both fantasy and betting narratives.

Drake Maye delivered the most efficient performance of his Patriots tenure, going 19-of-23 for 230 yards with two touchdowns and adding a rushing score in a road win over Miami. New England balanced the attack early and kept the Dolphins on their heels with smart, accurate throws and mobility.

Stevenson had 5 receptions for 88 yards and 11 carries for 54, while Hooper, Boutte, Gibson and Douglas supplied timely options. Moses struggled up front, but the unit overall found rhythm and a blueprint for continued fantasy upside.

Rookie kicker Andy Borregales answered the late-game test, drilling a 53-yard field goal to seal the Patriots’ 33-27 win over the Dolphins after two early misses. Coach Mike Vrabel’s confidence didn’t waver, as Borregales also connected on a 22-yard field goal and an extra point, showing growth under pressure. The late 4th-quarter sequence—made possible by a defensive takeaway and a forced punt—reframes Borregales’ role and sets a promising trajectory for New England’s kicking game this season.

The moment underscores mindset and consistency as Borregales targets a steady starting spot, while Vrabel’s faith in the rookie raises the fantasy-floor for Patriots’ kickers if he keeps delivering in clutch moments.
