Revisiting the Bills' last loss to the Dolphins, and the different directions both franchises have gone
‘It was a very odd game, for those who remember. The Bills outgained the Dolphins 497-212, Josh Allen threw the ball 63 times for 400 yards and two touchdowns, and the Bills still found a way to lose the game in the scorching heat.’
Josh Allen reveals key to Bills supreme run game
‘“I think it’s our guys up front communicating well, understanding their assignments,” Allen said. “Krome [Austin Kromer, offensive line coach] and Austin [Gund, assistant offensive line coach] do such a good job of displaying fronts and different types of looks that we’re going to be getting throughout the week.’

McDermott says the Bills are, "trying to squeeze a lot of work into a small amount of time," preparing for Thursday Night football.
‘”Well, it’s a little bit different. You want to be able to go through the game the right way after any game. In this case, you know, we watched the film on the plane ride home, about an hour plane ride give or take, from New York. So you’re able only able to get in so much of film during that time span but you’re trying to catch the big things, if that makes sense, to make sure that we can get those addressed and move forward in a better way.”‘
Opinion: Capaccio: Dolphins at Bills: Sal's keys, notes and stats
‘Miami is traveling to Buffalo on a short week with a banged-up offensive line. The Bills are favored by almost two touchdowns. The last thing Buffalo wants to do is give their division rivals a reason to believe they can pull the massive upset on national television. The Bills need to take control early and keep it.’
Opinion: Simon: These Dolphins On Verge Of Becoming Endangered Species
‘Grier has been the GM since 2016 and McDaniel is his third head coach. McDaniel’s record is 28-26(28-24 in the regular season and 0-2 in the playoffs with losses at the Bills and Kansas City). McDaniel was brought in for his offensive ingenuity and creativity. The thought was he could develop Tua Tagovailoa into a top level NFL quarterback. While the offensive stats for the Dolphins have been good under McDaniel, they are deceiving.’
