New England Patriots: 5 observations from mauling of Miami Dolphins
1. Antonio Brown got fed the rock
Well, four receptions for 56 yards and a touchdown in his New England Patriots debut.
Not bad for Antonio Brown.
As the NFL is set to meet with Brown’s accuser on Monday, it really would be no surprise if the league found a reason to suspend Brown for multiple games.
For now, however, Tom Brady and the Patriots fed Brown and it looks like the two can be a pretty lethal connection, especially with the other weapons the team has.
The only downside to working Antonio Brown into the offense is that it took away from some of the other playmakers getting some looks. Josh Gordon only had a couple of targets and Julian Edelman really didn’t get going until the second half of the game.

In all, the New England Patriots could afford the game plan they had versus a team like the Miami Dolphins. Once Brady opened it up a bit, the team looked like they could score anytime they wanted to.
In seeing how Antonio Brown looks in a Patriots’ uniform, how things go off-the-field from here on out is even more intriguing for the league and fans.
