The Patriots' offensive line is allowing the second-highest pressure rate through four games since 2016. Can they stop the trend against the Dolphins?

The Miami Dolphins (1-3) had Super Bowl aspirations before the season but are already in danger of falling into the AFC’s abyss. A year after averaging 29-plus points per game, they are dead last in points per game (11.3) and remain without star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who hasn’t played since suffering a concussion in Week 2.

FOXBOROUGH — Ask the Patriots what went wrong Sunday in their 15-10 loss to Miami, and they’ll use the right buzzwords and clichés. They’ll talk about the need to clean up their fundamentals and execution. They’ll say that the team needs to score more points, that players need to be more disciplined. They’ll call the losses frustrating.
