Yes the dolphins did handle the Patriots quite handily that day. Proving there are blue moons and Hell seemed to briefly freeze over. That was just one of those games, one of those days when the Patriots just did not have it together. No one did, offense, defense, coaches, special teams.
Dillon leads the league in post season rushing stats. He was third in overall season rushing yardage only 62 yards behind Curtis Martin.
The Patriots are much more balanced with him (Dillon) in the backfield. Brady can then quietly go about his business of directing the Patriots to another victory.

I think Pittsburghs luck is about to run out. They were incredibly lucky to get the win against the Jets last week. I don't think it's going to come down to a missed field goal against the Pats.
