Tom Brady says that Joey Porter's comments motivated the Patriots prior to their game against the Dolphins. Porter said last week that Brady operated under his own set of rules. "It's really motivating for our team throughout the course of the week and into the game when you hear that kind of stuff," Brady said on his weekly appearance on WEEI in Boston. "I think the guys take it to heart and the coaches take it to heart." New England defeated Miami 27-17 in Foxboro.
