‘Miami appeared lifeless in the early going and disinterested by the second half. The Dolphins quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa, left the game and is in concussion protocol after a hard hit by Buffalo’s Damar Hamlin in the third quarter. There’s no word on his return.’

Ja'Marcus Ingram shines in Bills dominating win in Miami
‘”You know what’s crazy? Me and A.J. were hitting Tua, and I guess he just launched (the ball),” Oliver recalled. “We hit the ground, and by the time I got up and got my bearings, I turn around and look and hear the crowd, and I’m thinking 10 (Tyreek Hill) is going down the sideline, he doing him — but it’s Ja’Marcus coming back the other way. He down at the 10 yard line (about to) score and I’m like ‘Damn, we really just score right here.'”‘

‘While Bernard will be out “multiple weeks”, according to McDermott, he managed to avoid a long term injury. Last season, DT DaQuan Jones missed 10 games with a more severe pectoral injury. Still, the team is still considering whether to put their starting linebacker on IR, but haven’t reached a decision yet.’

Observations: Ja'Marcus Ingram plays starring role in Bills' big win
‘“It’s a lot, you know, especially getting told that I might not be up. But my mindset is preparing like I’m going to play, preparing like I’m going to start no matter what,” Ingram said following the Bills’ win. “It’s still things that I feel and it’s a lot to be able to step up in those moments. The fact that they got faith in me to be able to do that is just a blessing to be a part of this organization that I can step up in those moments and make plays.”’
Ryan O'Halloran: Jimbo Cook's jumbo-sized game could take Bills' offense to next level
‘Rejoice Bills fans, James/Jimbo/Jimmy Cook is going to occasionally be counted on to do the short-yardage dirty work instead of quarterback Josh Allen, removing a bit of wear and tear for No. 17.’
Bills left with lingering questions at linebacker following Terrel Bernard's injury
‘Spector finished with 10 tackles, tied for most on the team with Williams and safety Damar Hamlin. He did so with minimal preparation on a short week.’
Our top three questions (and answers) from the Buffalo Bills' 31-10 wipeout victory over the Dolphins
‘The next four games are brutal: home against Jacksonville, then three straight road games against teams with Super Bowl expectations – Baltimore, Houston and the New York Jets. A three-game road trip is a rarity in the NFL. If the Bills open the season 3-3, they’re still in OK shape in terms of earning a playoff berth again.’
Top takeaways from the Bills' rout of the Miami Dolphins on Thursday night
‘Allen played with a glove on his left (non-throwing) hand and his middle and ring fingers were taped together, as they were during Tuesday’s practice. The only play that may have been impacted was a dropped shotgun snap late in the first quarter. Allen picked up the football and his pass was batted down on third-and-1.’
Plays that shaped the game: Here's how Ed Oliver, Buffalo Bills defensive line set table for rout of Miami
‘Oliver whipped left guard Robert Jones with a long arm stab to the right shoulder, which pushed Jones back on his inside foot. Off balance, Jones got pushed by Oliver straight back into the quarterback. It was a 6-yard sack.’
Bills Report Card: Coaching, pass defense sparkle in blowout win over Miami Dolphins
‘Here’s a weird thing to type: The Bills didn’t need Allen to be Superman, or really anything close. The star quarterback went 13 of 19 for 139 yards and one touchdown … and that was perfectly acceptable. Allen didn’t put the ball in harm’s way once. He wasn’t sacked. He only had to throw the ball six times in the second half. As Allen alluded to, this game won’t do much for the team’s stats. Shakir led the way with five catches for 54 yards, but there wasn’t much else to write home about from the receivers. Curtis Samuel had one catch for 3 yards. Keon Coleman did not have a reception on one target. The same goes for Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Mack Hollins. Dawson Knox wasn’t targeted. The number that matters, though, is 31-10.’
Bills continue dominance of Dolphins with beatdown on Thursday Night Football
‘That was quite a statement the Buffalo Bills made Thursday night in their home away from home, Hard Rock Stadium.’
Bills report card: Buffalo bullies Miami with James Cook and unlikely defensive heroes
‘Tyreek Hill has never had a 100-yard game against the Bills in a regular season game, not with Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City and not with Tua Tagovailoa in Miami. He was about as invisible as he could possibly be in this one, catching just three for 24 yards.’
