New England Patriots (11-3) vs. Miami Dolphins (5-9)

Found December 23, 2011 on Patriots Locker:
PLAYERS: Rob Gronkowski,  Wes Welker,  Aaron Hernandez,  Reggie Bush,  Matt Moore,  Brandon Marshall
TEAMS: Miami Dolphins,  New England Patriots

Dolphins vs. Patriots: Tom Brady Needs to Feed the Ball to Wes Welker

Via Patriots Plus  |  December 22, 2011
Get the ball to your playmakers—it’s that simple. Tom Brady has been doing a phenomenal job of distributing the ball to his playmakers this season as Wes Welker, Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez are all having superb years.  In this week’s upcoming game—a battle on Christmas Eve with the New England Patriots hosting the Miami Dolphins—one thing that Brady and...
