‘Buffalo’s defense held Tua Tagovailoa down during the first half, but the Dolphins quarterback managed to produce a strong second half which helped Miami take a third-quarter lead before the Bills came back to take the win. Tagovailoa finished 17-of-30 passing for 234 yards and two touchdowns, with his leading receiver, Jaylen Waddle, recording three receptions for 114 yards, including a 67-yard touchdown. Raheem Mostert ran wild throughout the first half, with the Dolphins running back finishing the game with 17 carries for 136 yards and fellow RB Salvon Ahmed adding six carries for 43 yards and a touchdown.’

Five Takeaways: Wintry atmosphere makes for interesting environment as Allen, Bills march past Dolphins at Highmark
‘With that said, while the loss of Morse is significant, Allen’s production against the Dolphins certainly gives one room for positivity. For the past several weeks, Allen and the Bills’ passing game has looked a bit off. And although it began the second half anemically, the Buffalo offense gained steam as the second half progressed, with Allen making a few highlight reel plays in crucial moments throughout the game.’

‘Allen’s performance may again elicit calls that Buffalo’s offense is too quarterback-centric, accounting for 381 of the team’s 446 yards, including his second 300-yard passing game in the last eight games. But it was necessary to win the game.’
