FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The Miami Dolphins face a win-or-go-home scenario for their playoff hopes after they added another quarterback to an already long list of key injuries during their 23-21 loss to the New England Patriots. Teddy Bridgewater will await further evaluation after leaving the game late in the third quarter with a right finger injury while trying to make a tackle during a pick-6. With Tua Tagovailoa still in the concussion protocol, the Dolphins’ hopes of qualifying for the playoffs for the first time since 2016 could rest with third-stringer Skylar Thompson.
