‘The Bills struggled in the intermediate portion of the field against the Cardinals. The Cardinals had seven rushing first downs and were 7-of-13 on third down, but Buffalo’s cornerback tandem of Rasul Douglas and Christian Benford only allowed a combined two catches. What does that tell you? Arizona was eating underneath. The Dolphins led the NFL in yards after the catch in Week 1 with 236 – the Chiefs were second with 190. Buffalo has to clamp down underneath to prevent short receptions from becoming big gains.’

McDermott: ‘It’s about points, not yards’ against Miami
‘”Typically against the Dolphins with their high-powered offense, it’s about points, not yards, and then taking care of the football,” McDermott explained. “You look at the games that we’ve played, the first game last season, we were able to take the ball away and score, and score touchdowns rather than field goals. In the second game, we had yards, but not as many points. So it’s points over yards, and making sure we take care of the ball.”‘

Buffalo Bills need far better showing than they gave in opener to beat Miami Dolphins
‘The Cardinals have nowhere near the offensive firepower the Bills will face Thursday night, yet Arizona found a way to take control early and put Buffalo into a deep hole from which Josh Allen’s extreme heroics were needed for his team to escape. The Bills need to show that, beyond Allen, they can step up their performance against an opponent that’s their greatest threat to win another AFC East title.’
Bills vs. Dolphins preview going into week 2
‘I’m going back to the well for the biggest x-factor I think for this entire Bills defense. In the 1st half against Arizona Sunday, there was very little if any pressure put on Kyler Murray when he dropped back to pass. 2nd half, different story and the overall performance of the D vastly improved. Greg Rousseau was the catalyst, registering a career-high 3 sacks en route to earning AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors. It’s obvious Rousseau won’t be bringing the QB down that much week in and week out, but if he can continue to ascend into a pass rusher envisioned as a 1st round pick, the entire dynamic of the defensive front and defense as a whole shifts. Heck, even Von Miller got his first sack since suffering a torn ACL on Thanksgiving 2022.’
