Patriots vs. Dolphins game today: Watch NFL Week 5 live stream free

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - The New England Patriots and the Miami Dolphins are fighting to get out of last place in the AFC East. Both teams are sitting at 1-3, which makes today's 1 p.m. Eastern kickoff on FOX between the two that much more interesting.

Several streaming services will broadcast the game live today and you can watch on Fubo (free trial and $20 off your first month), DirecTV Stream (free trial) and Sling (promotional offers).

The Patriots are in the first year of the post-Bill Belichick era and Jerod Mayo is now running the show from the sideline. It's going to be an uphill battle getting back into contention, and most figured this season would be a tough one for New England. Still they were able to pick up a road win against the Cincinnati Bengals for Mayo's first win as a head coach.

The Miami Dolphins, however, are in scramble mode. Tua Tagovailoa suffered a concussion in a Week 2 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Without him the offense that was one of the NFL's most explosive just a season ago has struggled to get anything going.

No team ever wants to have quarterback problems, but traditionally that's been especially true when facing New England's defense. The Patriots' new regime has an opportunity to uphold that in Week 5.
