The final game of 1993 saw the upstart Patriots keep the Dan Marino-less Dolphins out of the playoffs with an overtime win. The Dolphins get a tiny bit of payback to open '94 as Dan Marino returns from his achilles injury.

Drew Bledsoe closed out '93 and opened '94 so strongly that it had Patriots fans excited for what may come, but at least in early '94 it wouldn't necessary translate into wins. The defense would struggle and the offense had turnover issues. The D would surrender 39 on this day, 38 the following week vs. Buffalo and 28 in Week 3 to a Bengals team that would go 3-13.

'94 was a season of optimism but it did highlight the ups and downs of dealing with a young QB. The team would score 101 points through the first 3 weeks, yet still commit 10 turnovers and put the defense in spots it wouldn't be able to get out of.
