PATRIOTS vs. DOLPHINS Watch Live Stream Online & Listen: 2013 Week 15 Live Coverage from Sun Life Stadium Miami

Today at 1:00 p.m. ET on CBS the New England Patriots (10-3) will forge ahead without their most important player not named Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, for the rest of the season. They will be in Miami to face the Dolphins (7-6) in a game that matters greatly to the Fins as they try to boot their playoff standing. Live stream the game here; Pats fans can hear it on 98.5 The Sports Hub while Dolphins fans can turn their radio dials to WQAM 560.

New England is 10-3 despite pushing through myriad injuries, but losing Gronkowski is a major blow even for a deep, Bill Belichick roster. Still, Brady is saying all the right things ahead of this game.

"I mean, it's disappointing to lose anybody, but we've faced that before this year and at different times, so I'd say at least we're adjusted to it a little bit," Brady said. "We still have confidence that we can go out and win games."

A win or even a tie guarantees New England the AFC East title. That seemed in doubt through all the players lost to injured reserve, as well as the macabre preseason attention given to ex-tight end Aaron Hernandez.

Special teams ace Matthew Slater commented on their luck in 2013. "Sometimes the stars align in your favor," Slater said. "We've been real blessed this year to have the ball bounce our way and we're just going to go with it. We're not going to question the why of it."

The Dolphins aren't fretting about taking on a 10-3 squad with a postseason berth in such precarious position. "All the games are going to be tough," cornerback Brent Grimes said. "We just need to win. I don't know how you're looking at it, but we need to win. We need to take care of our business."
