Two Bills Drive

‘”We’ve won up here, but never like this before,” Dolphins left tackle Richmond Webb said of his team’s biggest road victory against Buffalo since a 37-10 win in 1992. “I don’t think anybody expected it to turn out like this.”‘

‘The shoulder? No problem. The rookie on the road? No problem. The Buffalo cold? Really no problem. Fiedler, in fact, came out on the field before the game in a T-shirt and shorts.’

‘Smith’s numbers weren’t as gaudy Sunday, but his 100-yard outing on 28 carries was just fine for the Dolphins in a 33-6 rout of the Bills.’

‘Wannstedt leaned into him. "We killed them, didn’t we?" he said.’

‘"When you get into the 13th game of the season," he said, "and you’re playing with the consistency we’re playing with, nothing surprises us."’

‘Thomas said he visited with Bills owner Ralph Wilson, which is significant because there was some bad blood when Thomas was released after last season. Wilson apologized to Thomas earlier this year.’

‘It was a great effort that produced a winning result.’

‘In recent years, the Dolphins have had few December days like Sunday when they hammered the Buffalo Bills 33-6, matching their largest margin of victory in upstate New York.’

‘"I thought our defense probably played about as good as we can play," Dolphins coach Dave Wannstedt said. "We came up with six sacks. We forced some turnovers."’

‘What’s happening now is that the Dolphins — in the wake of their 33-6 victory Sunday afternoon on the road against Buffalo — are an NFL sensation. What happened during Johnson’s tenure, mostly, was disappointment.’

‘"When I retire, I want it to be as a Buffalo Bill, but right now I’m a Miami Dolphin."’

‘According to the report, headlined "Do Dolphins gain from players’ pain?" more than 10 current Dolphins and several current players said the club did not tell players the full extent of their injuries and risked their careers by pressuring them to play too early.’

‘It was obvious to most fans that quarterback Rob Johnson was having very little success Sunday against the Dolphins, but Bills coach Wade Phillips didn’t go with backup Doug Flutie until 2:12 left in the third quarter and Buffalo trailing 30-0.’

‘Defensive end Lorenzo Bromell and safety Trent Gamble entered Sunday’s game with five tackles…But in Sunday’s 33-6 win against Buffalo, both played bigger roles than expected.’

‘This was a Dolphins team that smelled blood: Some of the Bills` best run-stoppers were out with injuries, including linebacker Sam Cowart, the NFL`s leading tackler.’
