Sunday Patriots Notes: Defense looking for the right balance
The Patriots head to Miami for a must‑win against the 1‑5 Dolphins as they chase AFC East relevance. Defensive coordinator Zak Kuhr admits the team's heavy man coverage—ranked second‑most in the league—has limited takeaways, leaving New England 20th in turnovers with just seven picks and fumbles combined. Kuhr says the unit must blend tighter man play, anchored by star corner Christian Gonzalez, with more zone concepts and increased pressure to spark more game‑changing plays. Meanwhile, injuries have thinned the receiver corps to three healthy options, prompting the promotion of ex‑Dolphin Ryan Miller from the practice squad. The Patriots have already used 65 players this season, the third‑most in the league.
