FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) - Tom Brady and Randy Moss connected on two highlight-reel plays and the New England Patriots overcame the Miami Dolphins' revived wildcat offense for a 27-17 win Sunday.

Moss set up the Patriots' first touchdown with a one-handed,
36-yard grab at the Dolphins 1-yard line, then scored on a 71-yard
play after catching the ball about 10 yards beyond the line of
scrimmage.

Miami's two touchdowns came on possessions on which it used the
wildcat most extensively - after gaining just 36 yards on 21
wildcat plays in its previous two games - but New England's
quick-strike ability took back the momentum.

The Patriots (6-2) lead the idle New York Jets (4-4) and Miami
and Buffalo (both 3-5) in the AFC East.
