MIAMI GARDENS, Fla., -- Welcome to Dolphin Stadium, where the Patriots (6-4) visit the Dolphins (6-4) today in an AFC East clash (1 p.m.).

It is a beautiful day for football here. The current temperature is 75 degrees, it is not too humid, and there are scattered clouds over the stadium. The wind is expected to be a mild factor, at around 12 miles per hour.

If the temperature holds, it will tie for the Patriots' second warmest game this season, with the season opener against the Chiefs. The team's Week 2 contest on the road against the Jets tops the charts, as it was 90 degrees that day in East Rutherford, N.J.

Al Riveron is scheduled to referee today's game. Riveron's crew also worked the Patriots-Broncos game on Oct. 20, a contest in which New England was flagged for five accepted penalties.

Patriots OLB Vince Redd, who was signed off the practice squad Saturday, will wear No. 49. Also, TE Tyson DeVree, who was promoted from the practice squad last week, will wear No. 85.

More to come throughout the day.
