ORCHARD PARK – Prepare to lose sleep over facing a team that your quarterback has a 9-2 lifetime record against. Especially when that team is the undefeated Miami Dolphins, whose high-powered offense scored a staggering 70 points last week, leaving fans wondering where the Denver Broncos defense went. But don’t underestimate the 2-1 Buffalo Bills and their star quarterback, Josh Allen. They proved their mettle last week by demolishing the Washington Commanders 37-3. The Bills defense was relentless, tormenting quarterback Sam Howell with nine sacks and forcing five turnovers. Follow along for live updates from Highmark Stadium.
The Bills put on a masterclass performance in their dominant 48-20 victory over the Dolphins.

The scoring slowed down after Allen’s fourth-quarter touchdown run, extending the Bills’ lead to 48-20. However, the excitement was dampened by an unfortunate ankle injury sustained by Tre’Davious White while making a pivotal play. Initial fears suggested a re-injury of his previously blown-out knee, but the Bills announced it as an ankle injury, the severity of which is unknown. White’s visible distress and his teammates’ concern indicated it was a serious situation.
Stefon Diggs added another touchdown to his impressive performance, catching his third of the game in the corner of the end zone. Micah Hyde capitalized on a mistake by Tua Tagovailoa, putting the Bills right back in control.
The Dolphins made a strong start in the second half, finding success with their running game and opening up opportunities for their offense. Tua Tagovailoa connected with Braxton Berrios for a touchdown, but their botched two-point conversion proved costly.
The first-half scoring frenzy fell short of Tom Brady’s record, but it was still a dominant performance from the Bills, who racked up 31 points while holding the explosive Dolphins to 14. Josh Allen’s surgical passing game, completing 14 of 17 passes for 201 yards and three touchdowns, coupled with Stefon Diggs’ impressive receiving performance, set the stage for the Bills’ success. The defense recovered from a shaky start, forcing multiple punts and a fumble recovery that led to points on the board. The second half is still to come, but the Bills couldn’t have asked for a better half of football.
Buffalo’s touchdown machine was halted as the Dolphins’ defense managed a critical stop, forcing the Bills to settle for a field goal. Buffalo’s drive following a fumble recovery went nowhere, hindered by a sack on Allen and a dropped pass.
After a rocky start, the Bills defense turned things around, forcing Miami to punt twice and recovering a fumble in Dolphins territory. This pivotal turnover presented the Bills with an opportunity to extend their lead.
Just when it seemed the defenses were catching up, the Bills offense exploded for another touchdown. Stefon Diggs showcased his talent, breaking free from a defender’s hold and completing a 55-yard touchdown run. With the Dolphins set to receive the second-half kickoff, the Bills’ defense faces another crucial moment in the game.
Josh Allen’s first incompletion of the game provided a moment of respite for the Miami defense, but overall, the offensive performances from both teams have been outstanding, resulting in five straight possessions ending in touchdowns.
The Bills utilized a strong rushing attack to score their second touchdown of the game, benefitting from penalties against the Dolphins.

This high-scoring shootout is living up to expectations, with both teams finding success on offense. After the Dolphins matched the Bills’ opening drive touchdown, the Dolphins got a lucky break when Tua Tagovailoa’s pass was tipped twice before finding its way into the hands of Jaylen Waddle for a touchdown. The score now stands at 7-7, with the Bills regaining possession.
The Bills wasted no time taking advantage of the opportunity presented by the Dolphins’ deferred coin toss. Josh Allen orchestrated an almost flawless 75-yard drive, resulting in an 18-yard touchdown pass to Gabe Davis. Allen’s precision passing and the penalty against Miami only furthered the Bills’ success.
In addition to edge rusher Jaelan Phillips, the Dolphins also have two other starters missing from their lineup. Center Connor Williams and safety DeSon Elliott’s absence will be felt in both the run game and pass coverage. Cornerback Eli Apple’s limited playing time in the previous game suggests he may be a healthy scratch.
