 On a side note, this was the first time since December 24, 2000 that the Dolphins were able to beat the Patriots in Foxborough.In the offseason the Dolphins showed major interest in signing free agent quarterback Drew Brees; however, Miami was unsure if Brees' shoulder was completely healed from a labrum tear he suffered with the San Diego Chargers.The Dolphins ended negotiations and traded for Minnesota Vikings QB Daunte Culpepper instead.
