Four key defensive starters sidelined vs. Dolphins
Buffalo’s defensive depth will be severely tested by a suddenly red-hot Dolphins offense, especially considering the absence of Pro Bowl safety Micah Hyde (neck), and cornerback Dane Jackson (neck), along with defensive tackles Ed Oliver (ankle), and Jordan Phillips (hamstring). Without those starters in the secondary, head coach Sean McDermott has confidence that his younger players like cornerbacks Christian Benford, Kaiir Elam, Jaquan Johnson and Damar Hamlin will step in and help contain Miami’s potent offense.

Bills plan on using a ‘collective effort’ to contain Dolphins WRs
The Bills know they’ll have their hands full trying to limit Miami’s talented wide receiver duo of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, who combined to catch 22 passes for 361 receiving yards and four touchdowns in a 42-38 win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 2. Defensive coordinator/assistant head coach Leslie Frazier shares how the Bills will employ a “collective effort” to contain Miami’s wideouts. Plus, is this the week embattled Miami QB Tua Tagovailoa finally beats Buffalo? That and more, for all the ways to follow along from home on Sunday.
