The Miami Dolphins completely dominated the New England Patriots in the second half en route to a 33-20 victory to kick off the season.

Miami’s defense forced two turnovers and the offense was led by a strong performance on the ground from running back Knowshon Moreno.

New England was supposed to be improved on the defensive side of the ball in 2014, but the Dolphins managed to put up 360 yards and showed that they will have a formidable team this season.

Ryan Tannehill still needs to find his accuracy, but if the improved offensive line can continue paving the way for Moreno then the Dolphins will be heading in the right direction.
