FOXBORO -- With the Dolphins -- losers of 20 of their last 21 games -- all but assured of snapping New England's NFL-record, 21-game winning streak, it's worth noting that Miami was the last team to beat the Pats.

That was on Dec. 10, 2006, when they whitewashed the Patriots, 21-0, in Miami.

New England's last regular-season loss at home was earlier that season -- a 17-14 defeat at the hands of the Jets on Nov. 11, 2006. Since then, the Pats had won 12 straight at Gillette Stadium -- 15 in a row, if playoff games are included.
