Buffalo Bills vs. Miami Dolphins: broadcast info, announcers, streaming, radio, television

All of the ways to watch the Bills try to squish the Fish!

By John Boccacino

For the second straight week, the Buffalo Bills (4-7) will square off against a struggling team from Florida. This time, it’s a divisional rival, the Miami Dolphins (5-6), and the two teams are heading in opposite directions.

The Bills have won back-to-back games for the first time all season — a 41-10 trouncing of the New York Jets in Week 10 and a 24-21 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 12 — while the Dolphins have cooled off following a surprising 3-0 start to the season. Miami enters play having lost six of its last eight games to move from early playoff contender to on the outside looking in for the sixth and final playoff berth in the AFC.

The Dolphins and Bills have a ton of history in this rivalry, as Sunday’s meeting represents the 109th all-time between these AFC East foes.

Miami leads the series 60-47-1, but Buffalo swept both meetings in 2017, winning 24-16 Dec. 17 at New Era Field, and 22-16 Dec. 31 in South Beach—a game that lifted the Bills into the playoffs for the first time since the 1999 season. Tyrod Taylor connected with Nick O’Leary on a 26-yard touchdown pass, Kyle Williams scored on a one-yard plunge up the middle, and Stephen Hauschka made a pair of field goals as Buffalo raced out to a 19-0 lead.

The Dolphins are listed as 3.5-point favorites in the first of two matchups between these two teams (Buffalo welcomes Miami to New Era Field Dec. 30 in the regular-season finale).
