Dolphins vs Bills Preview
The Dolphins are coming off a huge 70-20 win over the Denver Broncos last week. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw for four touchdowns and 309 yards before sitting down and calling it a day. Miami running back De’Von Achane added 203 yards and two scores on 18 carries in what was a completely dominant offensive performance.
Heading into this game, Miami has the league’s best offense, and the Bills are going to be on their ‘A’ game in all three phases if they want to take the Dolphins down.
“When you’re playing an explosive team, a team that scores like this offense does, you have to play a complementary game,” Buffalo head coach Sean McDermott said. “All three phases have to blend together and work together. It’s certainly going to take all of us to get it done.”
On the other side, the Bills are fresh from handing the Washington Commanders a 37-3 loss Week 3. Bills QB Josh Allen went 20-32 for 218 yards, a touchdown and an interception, also rushing for a score. Wide receiver Stefon Diggs had eight catches for 111 yards, while running back James Cook added 15 carries for 98 yards in the win.
Allen is 8-2 in his career against the Dolphins. He has tossed 27 TDs against them, more than he has against any other team since he arrived in the NFL in 2018. These two teams last met in the AFC wild-card playoff game in January of 2023, when the Bills beat Dolphins, 34-31. Allen also presents a challenge for the Dolphins defense, so this could be a high-scoring affair.
“If you need to be motivated for a game like this, check your pulse, or maybe consider a career adjustment,” Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said about this game. “I think it’s a very, very difficult challenge that I think our players are pumped for because you sign up to play the best, and I think [the Bills] fit that.”
On the injury front, outside linebacker Jaelan Phillips will miss the game for the Dolphins, while center Connor Williams (groin), safety DeShon Elliott (ankle/groin) and running back Salvon Ahmed (groin) are all questionable. Buffalo will be without starting safety Jordan Poyer, which is far from idea with Tua and company coming to town.
Broadcasters slated to call the game include Jim Nantz (play-by-play), Tony Romo (color commentary) and Tracy Wolfson (sideline reporter).
