"We had a bunch of sacks, a bunch of TFLs, just a bunch of production, from the defensive line. That's what you want to see as a d-tackle."
The New England Patriots relied on a dominant defensive front seven to secure a 24-19 road victory against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. New England recorded a season-high five sacks, six tackles for loss, and limited Miami's rushing attack to just 74 yards on 23 attempts, disrupting quarterback Malik Willis throughout the contest.
Cory Durden and Gabe Jacas led the pass rush with 1.5 sacks each, while Christian Elliss, Christian Barmore, Jaylen Reed, and Elijah Ponder also contributed. The performance aided New England's secondary, which reunited its full starting unit for the first time since Week 1 as cornerback Carlton Davis returned from a neck injury.
