1. Tom Brady won’t be sacked

Tom Brady has been taking a lot of hits this season. Part of this is due to no one getting open, but the big issue is the offensive line.

Brady has already been sacked 6 times this season. The New England Patriots have to do a better job of protecting him. He isn’t the spry youngster that he once was. Brady is 41 years old and needs to be protected now more than ever.

The offensive line will definitely be challenged on Wednesday. Miami has an impressive defensive line headlined by Cameron Wake and Robert Quinn. They already have 6 sacks this season and Wake has dominated the Patriots offensive line in the past.

Still, I think the offensive line will have a successful game. It is very important that Trent Brown and Marcus Cannon do a good job stopping the Dolphins edge rushers and keeping Tom Brady on his feet.

The Patriots offensive line needs to have a good game or else the Patriots could leave the field with another loss.
