MIAMI - The game is on the line, the quick strike New England Patriots showed they could grind out a drive as well.
As a result, they are the AFC East champions.
Tom Brady was the least efficient game of the season, and even threw an interception, but he led a drive for hours in the fourth quarter Sunday, he helped the Patriots beat Miami 23-16 to clinch a fourth consecutive division title.
Brady finished 24 of 40 for 238 yards and sacked four times.
But the Patriots are nursing a 20-13 lead midway through the fourth quarter, he led a 16-play drive lasted more than seven minutes led to a field goal.
A failed trap roughing-the-punter penalty and fumble at the Miami 17 points led New England, and the other refused to sanction Dolphins touchdown.
The Patriots (9-3) has won six consecutive games, and sure to be a winning season in a row 12.
The Dolphins (5-7) hurt the already slim playoff chances and lost in New England for the fifth time in a row.
Brady caught 203 passes for the first time, and only the fourth time this year, and his 74.8 passer rating in a season low. Was a fall of at least four passes, including a throw to Wes Welker in the end zone.
