Patriots clinch AFC East division again

Dave Megget was the spark that ignited the second consecutive AFC East Divisional Chapionship. He caught a pass from Bledsoe and stormed twenty yards downfield to the two yard line while carrying Dolphin defenders.

Dec 22, 1997 at 03:08 PM

Megget returned from a hamstring injury to lead the Patriots past the Dolphins. He set up the touchdown and Marrio Grier punched it in as the Patriots jumped ahead in the third quarter 6-7.
Then it was Megget again who capped off a 55-yard drive with a five yard touchdown that won the game for the Patriots.
The Patriot's defense held Dan Marino and the Dolphins to only 160 yards passing. The ending score was 14-12 and was the fight for homefield advantage for the playoffs.
