The Patriots and Dolphins close out their regular season schedules on Sunday at Gillette Stadium. Here's how to watch.

The Miami Dolphins, led by quarterback Quinn Ewers, face the New England Patriots, led by quarterback Drake Maye, on Sunday, Jan. 4, 2026 at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass.

Grier had been with the Dolphins since 2000 and serving as general manager since 2016. During his tenure as GM, Miami had five winning seasons and three playoff appearances but still failed to win a playoff game. Their 25-year streak without a playoff win is the longest in the league.

The Dolphins will finish the campaign with a 7-10 record and a litany of major questions entering the offseason.

The Seattle Seahawks win over the San Francisco 49ers in the final week of the regular season simplified the formula to figure out the one remaining opponent to be determined for the 2026 schedule. The Los Angeles Rams’ win over the Arizona Cardinals Sunday’s late afternoon games means the Dolphins will visit the 49ers next season.

The Dolphins will make a lot of changes in 2026, but insiders say Mike McDaniel appears likely to stick around.

Rhamondre Stevenson scored his third touchdown against the Miami Dolphins as the New England Patriots lead 31-10.

The New England Patriots look to finish off their bid for the No. 1 seed in the AFC Playoffs as they wrap up the regular season with a home matchup against the Miami Dolphins.

If anything can be said with certainty about the 2025 Miami Dolphins, it's that they were not a third-quarter football team.
