The score secured a 27-23 victory for the Colts and thanks to one of the worst cases of clock management by Miami the Dolphins...

This year he's already played a lot of 4-3 defense instead of the base 3-4 that he has taught (and modified) for years. Ever creative, Belichick adds new twists and variations such as the innovative defensive scheme he used in Super Bowl...

Derrick Burgess spent another day away from practice. For a change, no one seemed upset.

But neither of them were "experts" at rushing the passer. Remember...
