According to Jerod Mayo, the Patriots are considering benching Rhamondre Stevenson (267 rushing yards, 2 TDs) in favor of Antonio Gibson after Stevenson fumbled in each of the team’s first four games. Regardless of who starts or sits, the Patriots ideally would feature them both on Sunday.

The Patriots were 0-2 vs. Miami last season, losing the game at Foxborough (above) by a 24-17 score. After a promising start to the season, the Patriots have been sliding. They enter Sunday’s contest against the Dolphins with a three-game losing streak.

The New England Patriots are hopeful they won’t be facing another disaster in Week 5 when hosting the visiting Miami Dolphins at Gillette Stadium on Sunday. There was definitely more good than bad in their 30-13 blowout loss to the San Francisco 49ers last week.
