New England suffered a big letdown in the regular season opener, as they were dominated in the second half and upended by the Miami Dolphins.

It was not the start that the Patriots were looking for heading into the season, but there is no reason for panic.

New England’s defense was a bit of a letdown and their rushing attack left a lot to be desired, but when you have Tom Brady under center you are always in the mix and they should be able to bounce back nicely in Week 2 against the Minnesota Vikings.

If not, New England won’t be in the top ten for long.
