Dion Lewis couldn’t be caught by the Miami Dolphins on his way to the endzone
The Miami Dolphins had been looking quite good in the two weeks after firing head coach Joe Philbin, but the tides have certainly turned on Thursday Night Football against the giants of the AFC East, the New England Patriots.

With under a minute remaining in the first half, Tom Brady and the Patriots were driving when Brady dropped back to pass in the red zone. Lewis ran a short curl to the middle of the field and was left wide open. Brady found his running back and Lewis turned on the Jets to run untouched into the end zone:

Lewis has been gashing the Dolphins for most of the night, despite being listed as questionable coming into the Thursday night matchup. After his touchdown, New England took a 19-0 lead, which was the score as the two teams went to the locker room for halftime.
