MNF Recap 10/4: New England at Miami

     In the third installment of Monday Night Football this season, the New England Patriots exposed several glaring weaknesses in the Miami Dolphins to run away with a 41-14 victory.  Miami jumped out to a 7-0 lead midway through the first quarter on a touchdown pass from Chad Henne to Davone Bess.  However, that was about all the momentum the Dolphins could muster.  Hampered by three interceptions by Henne, Miami could't overcome the miscues by its special teams.  New England's Brandon Tate returned the opening kickoff of the second half for a touchdown for the second time this season.  Then, after a Miami three-and-out, the Patriots blocked a punt that was recovered and led to a BenJarvus Green-Ellis score.  Then early in the fourth quarter, New England safety Patrick Chung blocked a field goal that was returned for a touchdown.  Chung also intercepted Henne midway through the fourth quarter and returned it for a score.
     The Patriots look very scary right now.  In this game, Tom Brady became the fastest quarterback to reach 100 wins (131 starts).  With Brady at the helm, a solid defense, and an exciting, play-making special teams, this team has a real chance to return to the Super Bowl, where it virtually called home during the mid 2000's.
