Patriots’ Mike Vrabel sends blunt warning to Andy Borregalas amid competition speculation

On Sunday afternoon, the New England Patriots improved to 5-3 on the 2026 NFL season with a narrow road win over the divisional rival Miami Dolphins. This certainly wasn’t a performance to write home about for the Patriots, but the team ultimately did just enough in the fourth quarter to improve to 24-19 on the season. It was a tough day for kicker Andy Borregalas, who missed one of his field goal attempts against the Dolphins, and after the game, head coach Mike Vrabel kept it real about the team’s kicker situation.
