Miami dropped all the way down to 29th overall in this category after last week's rough outing against the Jets and are averaging just 152.0 yards per game through the air and 5.9 yards per pass play. New York registered six sacks, equaling the total Buffalo had against the Dolphins in Week 4, and teams have sacked the quarterback 21 times so far this season. Henne is still adjusting to the starting role but avoided throwing a costly interception last week and is showing lots of poise in the huddle. He just needs his receivers to make more plays for him like they did in the first win over the Jets in Miami and not let the Patriots' pass rush rattle him.

Granted the Patriots' last two wins came in dominant fashion over two winless teams – the Tennessee Titans (59-0) and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (35-7) – but a healthy and confident Tom Brady combined with a healthy and confident Wes Welker and Randy Moss will make any defensive coordinator quiver at night. New England owns the No. 2 passing offense behind only Indianapolis with an average of 291.0 yards through the air and its overall offense is ranked third behind New Orleans and Dallas, averaging 406.0 yards per game. Brady is the league's fifth-rated passer and Moss ranks ninth among NFL receivers with 43 catches for 565 yards in seven games and he and Welker will be going up against rookie cornerbacks Sean Smith and Vontae Davis and the league's 21st-ranked pass defense, so this will truly be a trial by fire for Smith and Davis.
