The Dolphins lead the all - time series 54 -- 51. The two teams play twice every regular season. While not as famous as some other rivalries, the rivalry has a long history that dates back to the 1960s. The beginning of the rivalry was dominated by the Dolphins, as the time the Dolphins were one of the NFL 's most successful teams, while the Patriots were one of the worst. The Patriots finally made the Super Bowl in 1985. Starting in 1986, the rivalry was a little bit more even, with the Pats having a 7 - game winning streak from 1986 to 1988. The Dolphins then took over the rivalry once again, winning 13 of the next 15 matchups between the 2 teams. Both teams had great quarterbacks in the 90s, with the Patriots having Drew Bledsoe and the Dolphins with Dan Marino. The Dolphins continued to dominate the rivalry through the late 1990s with the Dolphins sweeping the Patriots in back to back years, 1999 and 2000. Miami is one of 4 teams in the AFC with a winning overall record against New England ( the others being the Cleveland Browns, Denver Broncos, and Kansas City Chiefs ) ). Since 2003, the Patriots have dominated the rivalry, but not as much as their rivalries with their two other AFC East opponents. In 2004, one of the most famous moments in the rivalry happened where the Dolphins, 2 -- 11 at the time, upset the 12 -- 1 Patriots in a game that has been known as `` The Night That Courage Wore Orange ''. In 2008, the rivalry briefly intensified when the Dolphins became the only team other than the Patriots since 2003 to win the division. In week 3 of the aforementioned 2008 season, the Dolphins used the Wildcat formation to throw the Patriots off and went on to upset them, 38 -- 13. Also notable is the fact that the Dolphins and Patriots are the only NFL teams to post undefeated regular season records following the NFL - AFL merger. The 1972 Dolphins finished with a 14 -- 0 regular season record and went on to win Super Bowl VIII, finishing the only complete perfect season in NFL history, while the 2007 Patriots were the first team to go undefeated in the regular season since the league expanded to 16 games, but famously lost Super Bowl XLII against the New York Giants.
