But according to the game unfolding before us, the Dolphins are still the Dolphins and the Patriots are still the Patriots.
New England is up 17-0 in the second quarter, taking advantage of turnovers and generally making things look easy.
James White just scored a 22-yard touchdown run, which came one play after Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill fumbled a snap (which was recovered by Patriots linebacker Kyle Van Noy.
