The Dolphins next drive reached the red zone but stalled, forcing Welker to attempt a 29-yard field goal. He converted on his first and only NFL field goal, cutting the deficit to 24-10. After a New England punt, Miami again drove into Patriots territory, but failed on a fourth down pass attempt when Fiedler unsuccessfully tried to find Derrius Thompson in the end zone. The Dolphins got the ball back with three minutes to play and after a long Fiedler completion to Marty Booker, the Dolphins had a last chance to get back in the game. However, after a failed quarterback sneak, Fiedler was sacked by Rodney Harrison and had to leave the game in pain. A. J. Feeley came in at quarterback but failed to convert on third or fourth down, giving the Patriots a record 19th consecutive win. Fox NFL Sunday traveled on-location to Gillette Stadium, with Game 4 of the ALCS also airing on Fox later on the same night involving the local Boston Red Sox. With a mostly national audience watching, the Patriots hosted the Seattle Seahawks. On the opening drive of the game, Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck (a native of Massachusetts who played college football at Boston College) was intercepted by Willie McGinest after his pass was tipped by Richard Seymour. Seattle native Corey Dillon would score for New England, putting the home team up 7-0. The Seahawks' second possession ended the same way as their first did; this time Hasselbeck was intercepted by Ty Law. The Patriots again took advantage, with Adam Vinatieri kicking a field goal to put New England up 10-0. After several Seahawk penalties forced a punt, the Patriots drove methodically down the field with a sizeable rush from Dillon and receptions by David Givens and Kevin Faulk. The drive was capped by a Tom Brady touchdown pass to David Patten to put the Patriots up 17-0. On the ensuing drive, the Seahawks would finally get on the scoreboard with a Josh Brown field goal to make it 17-3. Both teams would then kick field goals before the half, sending New England to the locker room with a 20-6 lead. After a New England punt to start the second half, the Seahawks drove into Patriots territory. Shaun Alexander fumbled inside the Patriots 40 yard line, but the Seahawks were able to recover the ball and eventually settled for another field goal by Brown. On the fumble play, Patriots starting cornerback Tyrone Poole suffered an injury to his already ailing knee, and would not play meaningful snaps again all season.
