Dolphins dominate second half, roll past Patriots

2014-09-07-brian-hartline

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Knowshon Moreno had another huge game against New England.

This time, he got a win as well.

Moreno rushed for 134 yards and a fourth-quarter touchdown that essentially sealed the outcome, Ryan Tannehill threw for two scores and the Miami Dolphins overpowered New England after halftime on the way to a 33-20 win over the Patriots on Sunday.

Moreno now has 358 yards on the ground in his last two games against New England, the first of those being a 224-yard effort in Denver's loss at the Patriots last season.

That one, Moreno said he barely remembered. This one, he'll surely savor.

So will the Dolphins, who put together 23 unanswered points in the second half to become the first team since 2003 to beat New England in a season-opener. And for the first time since Week 3 of the 2012 season, the Patriots will end a weekend without at least a share of the AFC East lead.

BOX SCORE: Dolphins 33, Patriots 20
