Bringing pressure

Getting to Brady doesn’t always lead to winning

DAVIE — The Dolphins rocked Tom Brady when they played New England two weeks ago. Eight quarterback hits. One sack. You’d have thought it would have been enough to anger and frustrate Brady.

“I’d love to make him mad,” Dolphins defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh said with a smile. “My job is to piss him off and have him yelling at his offensive linemen for not blocking me, his coach and everybody on the sideline. That’s my job.”

As it turned out Miami’s effort against Brady wasn’t nearly enough. Brady, the future Hall of Fame quarterback, threw four touchdown passes while leading the Patriots to a 35-17 victory.

It’s a maddening experience going against Brady. He gets the ball out of his hand quickly. He throws precise passes. He moves then chains. He produces touchdowns. He wins.

There are no measurables — yards, touchdowns, interceptions, sacks, hits — when it comes to judging success against Brady. You win or you lose. And that’s how the Dolphins will judge their performance against Brady on Monday.

“Whatever measure of success leads to us getting stops, getting off the field, trying to limit his success as much as possible [is the goal],” defensive coordinator Matt Burke said. “A win is a win, man, so we’ll take it however it comes.”

Miami has had success recent memory.

Between 2013 and 2015, the Dolphins were 3-0 against New England at Hard against Brady in
