2. The revenge factor

Brian Flores probably doesn’t have any hatred for the New England Patriots organization, but ever since he became head coach of the Miami Dolphins he had this game circled on his calendar.

More from New England Patriots

Week 2 will be the first time that Flores goes up against the Patriots as a head coach. Flores is hoping he will be able to shake hands with Belichick as a winner.

Now obviously Flores knows a lot about New England’s defense. He worked with the defense for about 7 years and transformed the group into one of the best in the NFL last season. If anyone knows how to get the Patriots defense off of their game it is Flores.

If the Patriots offense puts up one of their patented Miami performances on Sunday the defense will have to be on  top of their game. There will be no room for mistakes.

The Miami Dolphins also got steamrolled in Week 1. I think that they want to put up a much better effort in Week 2.

So expect a much better performance in Week 2 from Brian Flores and the Miami Dolphins.
