Dion Dawkins still recovering from COVID battle after Week 1

‘”My body went through a tragedy,” Dawkins said. “Every part of my body was battling from being down at my lowest point to my highest point in three weeks. I mean I try my best. I’m not fully, fully, fully, fully me but I’m still me. It’s just the conditioning part of it.”‘

Bills gear up for first road game of the year

‘Buffalo opens as the three and a half point favorite against Miami, a team they’ve beaten in the last five head to head matchups, the recent of which was that 56-26 win last year.

‘The Miami offense adds a layer this week with wide receiver Will Fuller set to make his Dolphins debut. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is able to make some big plays against the Bills defense, but overall, the defense gets enough stops to leave Hard Rock Stadium with the win. Bills, 27-24.’

‘“I could go out there with a quarterback I’d never caught a pass from and we could complete that 500 times, or we could miss it 500 times. To me, it’s just we didn’t connect,” Sanders said. “I don’t lose sleep at night over it. I’m looking forward to Miami. I’m looking forward to going out, making more plays and getting the W, and getting this bad taste out of our mouths.”’
