When the Buffalo Bills (6-3) travel to South Beach to take on the suddenly surging Miami Dolphins (2-7), the Bills will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing loss to the Cleveland Browns.
Buffalo had a chance to take a commanding lead in the race for one of the AFC’s two Wild Card berths (a win would have but the Bills at 7-2 and 5-1 in conference play), but the Bills squandered that opportunity thanks to questionable play calling, two missed Stephen Hauschka field goals, terrible play from cornerback Levi Wallace, and more.
The Bills, who remain in possession of the fifth seed in the AFC playoff race, are also seeking their first season sweep of the Dolphins since the 2017 season.
That year, Buffalo squished the fish 24-16 on Dec. 17 in Orchard Park, then knocked off Miami 22-16 on Dec. 31 to snap a 17-year playoff drought (with a huge assist to the Cincinnati Bengals for defeating the Baltimore Ravens) for the team’s first playoff appearance since the 1999 season.
This will be the 112th meeting all-time between the Bills and Dolphins.
The Dolphins lead the series 61-49-1, with Buffalo prevailing 31-21 on Oct. 20, 2019. The Bills trailed 14-9 heading into the fourth quarter of that Week 7 contest, but Josh Allen connected on touchdown tosses to John Brown (20 yards) and Cole Beasley (three yards), and Micah Hyde returned an onside kick attempt 45 yards to seal the win.
