Bills still not in playoffs as Steelers win: Here's what Buffalo needs to happen
‘It was foolhardy to even think that the Bills – who nothing comes easy for, not in 2023, and not throughout their 64-year history – would be able to go to sleep down here at their hotel in South Florida knowing that no matter what they did Sunday night in their game against the Miami Dolphins, they had a spot secured.’

‘That win marked the beginning of a stretch of games that put the Bills’ fate back in their own hands. They’ve won five of their last six games since losing to the Broncos, and now sit at 10-6 with a chance to punch a ticket to the playoffs. They play the Miami Dolphins Sunday – a team they blew out, 48-20, in Highmark Stadium back in September – with the AFC East regular season crown on the line.’
Miami Dolphins expected to be without two offensive stars vs. Buffalo Bills (report)
‘“Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert (knee/ankle) and WR Jaylen Waddle (ankle) — both listed as questionable — are not expected to play Sunday night vs. the Bills, per me and Ian Rapoport,” Pelissero wrote on Twitter. “Both should be ready for the playoffs.

Five Takes: Bills meet Dolphins, potentially with playoff berth on the line; Can Buffalo clinch division?

‘”We went to Miami last year. It was the hottest game ever, like 95 degrees,” Allen recalled. “The whole stadium was packed with Bills fans. All the bars and hotels nearby were also full of fans. Even walking through the streets of downtown Miami and even Walmart there were fans. It was amazing to see how many fans traveled.”‘

Bills rolling into AFC East clash as Dolphins navigate brutal injuries with division on the line
‘The Bills’ season has been as turbulent as the Western New York winters are brutal — with injuries to key starters to the firing of offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey to the reports revealing controversial insensitive comments allegedly made four years ago by head coach Sean McDermott about 9/11, praising the hijackers for their coordination during a team meeting.’

Opinion: Capaccio: Bills at Dolphins: Sal's keys, notes and stats
‘The Dolphins have lost arguably their top two pass rushers to injuries over the last month and a half. Jaelan Phillips and Bradley Chubb had combined for 17.5 sacks on the season. Miami still has Zach Sieler and Christian Wilkins, but they may have to generate more pressure through blitzing, and the Bills can concentrate more on those two players on passing downs. When those times, come up, Buffalo should have a little more breathing room to throw the ball, and needs to take advantage of that.’
