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.
