The New England Patriots left Week 2 in dominate fashion after steamrolling the Miami Dolphins in a 43-0 victory.

Tom Brady went into the game with a new weapon in Antonio Brown and the offense was clicking on all cylinders, but the defense was the real story. The Patriots took two interceptions back for touchdowns and they’ve only allowed a total of six points in the last three games — including the Super Bowl.

The only problematic areas for New England were the injuries on the offensive line and the missed field goals by Stephen Gostkowski. Aside from that, it was a near perfect performance.

Stemming from that incredible performance — Pro Football Focus named three Patriots on their ‘NFL Team of the Week’ for Week 2.

Tom Brady, QB

Once again the Miami Dolphins’ defense is on the receiving end of our PFF Team of the Week quarterback. On Sunday, Brady went 11-for-14 for 198 yards and a touchdown on throws 10-plus yards downfield. When the Dolphins couldn’t get pressure on him, he carved them up, with both of his touchdown throws coming from a clean pocket.

Stephon Gilmore, CB

Speaking of impressive performances in coverage, Stephon Gilmore had another standout showing on Sunday. Targeted six times, he allowed just two receptions for 32 yards and came away with an interception and two pass breakups. For the day, he allowed an NFL passer rating of 12.5 on throws into his coverage.

Jamie Collins, LB

Collins had a big showing in coverage in his team’s blowout win on Sunday. He picked up a sack on one of his eight blitzing snaps and finished the game with another two tackles that resulted in a defensive stop, but it was his two interceptions — one of which he took back for a touchdown — that really stood out.

Brady and Gilmore were among the league’s best last season, so this isn’t surprising — but Collins’ journey back to New England has been unorthodox and he’s been thriving in his new (old) role.
