Watch Miami Dolphins Vs. New England Patriots Live Online: Streaming Info, NFL Thursday Night Football

NFL fans can watch live online as, just four days after the undefeated New England Patriots struggled to get past one divisional rival, a second one comes to Gillette Stadium as the Miami Dolphins led by interim Coach Dan Campbell will try to use their newfound, bruising, smashmouth style to become the first team this season to put a dent in the Patriots’ armor.

A video preview of the Dolphins vs. Patriots game, from the CBS-TV Thursday Night Football expert commentators, can be viewed above.

After a dismal 1-3 start under now-fired coach Joe Philbin, the Dolphins have gone all-in on Campbell’s tough-talking, down-and-dirty brand of old-school football, winning both games under their former tight-ends coach by wide margins.

Of course, both of the Dolphins’ opponents in the past two weeks have not exactly been drawn from the NFL elite. The Tennessee Titans were 1-3 themselves when the Campbell-led Dolphins rolled into Nashville and buried them, 38-10.

Last Sunday, the Dolphins delivered an even worse shellacking to the Houston Texans, who were just 2-4 when they traveled to Miami to face a 44-26 humiliation that saw Miami go into halftime ahead 41-0, before the Texans mounted a comeback of sorts, with 26 second-half points.

But Campbell’s leadership faces by far its toughest test when he takes his Dolphins into the Patriots home in Foxborough, Massachusetts, needing to figure out how to get past future-Hall-of-Fame quarterback Tom Brady — having one of his best seasons at age 38 — and living-legend coach Bill Belichick who along with the rest of the Patriots have started the season at 6-0 after winning the Super Bowl back on February 2.

To find out how to watch the Miami Dolphins vs. New England Patriots NFL Thursday Night Football game live online, see the streaming information in the final paragraph of this article. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:25 p.m Eastern Time, 5:25 Pacific, at Gillette Stadium on Thursday, October 29.

One factor that may work in the favor of visiting Miami is New England’s ever-growing injury list. Offensive lineman Marcus Cannon has missed the last two Patriots games with an injured toe and has been ruled out for the Thursday Night Dolphins game.

Cannon’s absence could prove key against a ferocious Miami pass rush led by 28-year-old Ndamukong Suh, who will look to pressure Brady from the outset and upset the star quarterback’s passing rhythm — easier said than done against Brady and the Patriots, but still essential with Brady throwing the ball an average of nearly 42 times per game so far in 2015, and completing just under 70 percent of those passes.

A continuing abdominal injury to New England running back Dion Lewis — who has not been ruled out but appears unlikely to see much, if any, action Thursday — will force Brady to throw even more than usual. Against the New York Jets on Sunday, with Lewis on the sidelines, Brady took to the air 54 times, his second-highest total this season.

Brady leads the NFL with 16 touchdown passes through the first six games of the season, and the Patriots have posted at least 30 points in every game except the season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers, who held New England to 28.

Going back to when the two teams first faced each other in 1966 — when the Patriots still played in Boston, borrowing Fenway Park from the Red Sox for home games — the Dolphins have the all-time series lead against New England with 52 wins against 47 Patriots victories.

But in recent years, the tables have turned with the Patriots winning eight of their last 10 meetings with the Dolphins, and the last six straight at home.
