Kraft Hates the Colts... a lot

At halftime of the game, the Patriots held an in stadium ceremony to honor Willie McGinest who was inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame earlier in the year.

Patriots owner Robert Kraft took the mic and after comments about McGinest, he took this shot at the Indianapolis Colts,"There's nothing more satisfying than saddling the Colts with a loss, something Willie did 16 times in his career."

Gostkowski

Kicker Stephen Gostkowski now holds the Patriots franchise record with 26 straight field goals made. Gostkowski passed Adam Vinatieri to get the mark.

Gostkowski has also hit 49 straight field goals at Gillette Stadium.

Gostkowski was drafted by the Patriots in 2006 to replace Vinatieri and was signed to a four year extension over the summer.

Rob Gronkowski

Rob Gronkowski led all pass catchers with 113 yards and a touchdown on six receptions. Julian Edelman caught 7 passes for 81 yards and two touchdowns.

On the season, Gronkowski has 34 receptions for 533 yards and six touchdowns.

Defense

The offense struggled a bit in the first half, give some credit to the Dolphins defense, but while they struggled, the defense stepped up.

Chandler Jones came up with two sacks for 14 yards while Patriots had five sacks as a unit. Jones currently leads the NFL in sacks with 8.5.

The Patriots came up with two interceptions, Logan Ryan and Duran Harmon, and didn't allow the Dolphins many big plays other than the one drive where they scored their only touchdown.

Dion Lewis

It was a very welcome return for running back Dion Lewis, who missed the game against the Jets due to injury.

Lewis had six catches for 93 yards and a touchdown while carrying the ball five times for 19 yards.

"He played great, he makes guys miss, he's very dynamic in the run and pass game and tough to tackle," said Tom Brady after the game.

Lewis carved up the Dolphins catching short passes, averaging 15 yards per catch.
