What happened: The review centers on wide receiver A.J. Brown and breakdowns in coverage against Chicago. It also turns attention to Sunday's game against Miami.

Why it matters: New England needs cleaner execution from its lead receiver and defensive backs. The Miami matchup offers an early chance to correct those issues against a division opponent.

By the numbers: Miami closed a 28-25 final against the New York Jets. Jason Sanders scored 5 points and Zane Gonzalez added 4.

What to watch: New England faces Miami on Sunday with the passing game and secondary under focus.
