Patriots vs. Dolphins final score: Cam Newton rushes for two scores in New England debut

Things seemed to get a bit testy towards the end of the game, but both clubs have since departed to the locker room. Patriots move to 1-0 on the year after beating the Dolphins, 21-11. Thanks so much for tuning in folks!

Mike Gesicki was looking for a flag there, but Fitzpatrick overthrew it and was picked off by J.C. Jackson. This game is all but over now.

For the record, the line on this game at William Hill Sportsbook was New England -7. Dolphins could cover if they score here and hold.

Patriots defense faltering a bit on this drive. Gilmore was called for a penalty and Fitzpatrick has been able to get Miami inside the red zone as the game hits the two-minute warning.

Really nice pursuit there by Derek Rivers to get that sack on Ryan Fitzpatrick. Rivers has had a rough go of it in the NFL in his early career, but is finally healthy. Could be another youngster to emerge for the Patriots.

Sony Michel runs it up the gut and the Patriots have their third rushing touchdown of the opener. While Newton has found success on the ground, it has been a mediocre day for Michlel, who is averaging 3.7 yards per carry. If that continues, Damien Harris should rival for the starting job once he's off IR.

Cam Newton keeps it and nearly gets his third rushing touchdown of the day. Patriots pick up the first down and are knocking on the door of the end zone now. Huge conversion.

Patriots are going for it and have a few extra linemen on the field. Going to try and pound it in here.

If this gets overturned, I think the Patriots offense would stay out there on fourth down. Show some aggressiveness and try to hammer it in.

Looks like Brian Flores is challenging the spot here.

That N'Keal Harry touchdown ended up being a hung swing. Patriots should have been up 21-3 and now find themselves locked into a 14-11 contest with 10:31 to go.

Solid stand by New England, but Miami eventually finds paydirt as Jordan Howard rushes for the touchdown. Dolphins go for two and Ryan Fitzpatrick does his best Cam Newton impression and rushes into the end zone. Dolphins now down by just a field goal.

Chase Winovich is having himself a day. Continues to blow up plays from the edge.

Gesicki is able to haul in the catch over Adrian Phillips. Would probably have Joejuan Williams shadow him at this point. Had success earlier in this one against the big tight end.

Bad PI call for Stephon Gilmore. Penalty brings Miami all the way down to the Patriots 35.

N'Keal Harry with the worst play imaginable. Stripped at the 1-yard line and fumbled the ball into the end zone for a touchback. Should have been an easy touchdown.
