Patriots Get Ready For 'Wildcat' Rematch In Miami

By Howard Ulman, AP Sports Writer
FOXBORO (AP) ― Patriots coach Bill Belichick is preparing his team for another look at the Dolphins' unusual "Wildcat" offense.
 
Miami unveiled the tactic -- in which a running back takes a direct snap from the center -- in its 38-13 win over New England in the third week of the season.
 
The Patriots visit Miami on Sunday.

Belichick said Monday that even though the element of surprise is gone, it's still a difficult offense to stop. Belichick said the Dolphins add new wrinkles to their Wildcat plays each week.

Both teams are 6-4 and tied for second in the AFC East, one game behind the New York Jets.

A Patriots loss would leave them 0-2 against the Dolphins and at a disadvantage in the first tiebreaker for a playoff spot -- head-to-head record.
