Coming into Sunday’s game against New England, Miami Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder told the Sun-Sentinel he would be quiet when playing the Patriots, referring to the fine he received last year against the team after an altercation with New England lineman Matt Light. However, it would be the final defensive play in the Dolphins’ Week 13 contest that would speak for Crowder, as the fifth-year player picked off a Tom Brady pass to seal a 22-21 victory over their AFC East rival. …

Since being sidelined in Week 5 with torn ligaments in his ankle, there have been very few Fred Taylor sightings, so when the 12-year veteran made an appearance in the Patriots locker room Friday, the question was how the running back has come along in his rehabilitation.
