Brady-Moss Combo Overcomes Wildcat 27-17

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) ―
Tom Brady and Randy Moss connected on two highlight-reel plays and the New England Patriots overcame the Miami Dolphins' revived wildcat offense for a 27-17 win Sunday.
Moss set up the Patriots' first touchdown with a one-handed, 36-yard grab at the Dolphins 1-yard line, then scored on a 71-yard play after catching the ball about 10 yards beyond the line of scrimmage.
Miami's two touchdowns came on possessions on which it used the wildcat most extensively — after gaining just 36 yards on 21 wildcat plays in its previous two games — but New England's quick-strike ability took back the momentum.
The Patriots (6-2) lead the idle New York Jets (4-4) and Miami and Buffalo (both 3-5) in the AFC East.
