Bills prevail in close win against Miami
Orchard Park, NY – High expectations were placed on the buffalo invoices that went to another division match.
But the Miami dolphins gave the Bills their best blow and kept the two -digit favorites nearly most of the time.
With just over three minutes to play in the match and the Bills holding an advance of 28-21, Miami led the field at the line of 21 yards of Buffalo. Then, the defense of the Bills did what it does best and left with a timely restraint.
Just when he jumped on an escape at the end of the victory of week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens, the first and 10, the second Terl Bernard withdrew the quarter-Arrière Tua Tagovailoa on a pass intended for the wide receiver Jaylen Waddle. The stadium broke out while Bernard made the interception at 24 yards, setting up the offensive of the Bills to close the game, which he quickly did, ending the driving that followed with a basket of 48 yards. The Bills beat dolphins 31-21 and improved at 3-0.
The victory marks the 25th consecutive match for the Bills without losing the battle of turnover (including the playoffs), the longest sequence in the history of the NFL
Bills have now have 11 consecutive home victories – the longest sequence since the New England Patriots won 17 from 2009 to 2014.
Here are the most important things to know on Thursday evening for both teams:
Bills Buffalo (3-0)
What to do with QB performance: Overall, Allen had a good day, not overthrowing the ball and orchestrating impressive records – in addition to launching three Touché passes to obtain 200 during his career.
TDolphins, however, removed the ability of bills to pass the ball. Allen did not finish a pass launched more than 10 meters below (0-1). This is the first time in his career, he failed to finish one in a match (min. 10 Total attempts), and the lack of attacks at the bottom of the field has sometimes disabled the offensive.
Tendency to look: Third defense. The Bills finished the first two weeks of the season with the best third defense in the League (6-22, 27.3%). Which absolutely evaporates against dolphins.
The Bills struggled to get from the field while Miami converted 10 of the 15 third advance opportunities, including a variety of third and long and a fourth below. He played an important role in dolphins in the game.
Turning: The draft of the Kicker penalty on the dolphins with 10:20 to play in the fourth quarter. The bettor of Bills, Cameron Johnston, prepared to kick the ball on what seemed to be a third consecutive journey ending with a clearance of clearance for the Buffalo offensive, but he was struck as he finished the kick with the Zach Sieler of the Dolphins (it was actually a good booty of Botté who landed 2-yard).
A penalty was called which extended the possession of the bills, and they took the opportunity to assemble a touched disc and resume the advance on a pass of 15 yards from Allen to the Large Khalil Shakir receiver.

Miami Dolphins (0-3)
It was not a team that left his coach, or his season.
Miami’s dolphins entered Thursday evening’s match against the Buffalo Bills on a sequence of three consecutive defeats dating from last season, and coach Mike McDaniel experienced an in -depth examination and speculation on his job security throughout the week. Fans will not be happier after another defeat for the Bills, but it was a courageous performance for a team of dolphins who entered the game like 12.5 points.
There are no moral victories in the NFL, especially not when you are 0-3 with two defeats against the adversaries of the division. But McDaniel’s work is safe for another week – and it’s a big one. A defeat against New York Jets on “Monday Night Football” could be too much for the Dolphins to be overcome in what should be a tight race for the AFC joker; He could also mark the end of the patience of the owner of the Stephen Ross team with the current regime.
What to do with QB performance: Tagovailoa played football at risk for the most part, but he had his brilliant moments. He led a 16 game record to equalize the match just before half-time, converting three thirds into the process.
His second pass of Touché was anticipation at his best, because Tyreek Hill had not even broken up before Tagovailoa launched the ball in a place in the goal area. It was generally not the most aesthetic football of a quarter of a quarter of $ 51 million, but he took care of the ball and did not give a team of Bills who made Miami pay for reversals last season.
Tendency to look: The Ballon Carrier Recruit Ollie Gordon II was a cherished training camp and the Rusher Clair of the team of this pre -season – but he only recorded three races in the first two games of Miami.
Gordon exceeded this with four races when opening by car Thursday evening and finished with a workload comparable to the starter of’von Achane. With their new thunder towards the fellow of the pourage, the dolphins rushed to a summit of season 116 yards.
The use of Gordon must become a recurring theme for an offense of dolphins who had trouble running the ball in weeks 1 and 2.
Most surprising performance: Defense of Dolphins actually has stops! He entered Thursday’s match after giving out of 13 points of the 15 possessions to start the season; Miami almost exceeded this in the second half.
Dolphins seemed to record stops on three consecutive possessions in the third and fourth quarters, but made the ball in Buffalo after blurring the kicker penalty on the target of release that followed. Bradley Chubb is discreetly removed this season after missing 2024 – he recorded bags in three consecutive games.
