FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Tom Brady threw two touchdown passes to cap a record-setting season and, more importantly, stayed healthy as the New England Patriots won their eighth straight game, 38-7 over the Miami Dolphinstoday.
The game meant nothing in the standings. Still, Brady played into the third quarter and finished with 36 touchdowns passing and just four interceptions. He extended his NFL records to 335 straight passes without an interception and 28 consecutive regular-season wins as a starter at home.
The Patriots (14-2) already had home-field advantage for as long as they remain in the AFC playoffs and have a first-round bye.
The Dolphins (7-9) lost for the fourth time in five games, jeopardizing the job of Coach Tony Sparano, who has one year left on his contract.
