What you should know
The Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins will face off in an AFC East duel on December 17 at 8:15 p.m. ET at Highmark Stadium. The Bills have a defense that only allows 17 points per game, so Miami’s offense will have their work cut out before them.
Buffalo had a solid 20-12 win over the New York Jets last Sunday. Buffalo’s QB Josh Allen did his thing, passing for a TD and 147 yards on 27 attempts, in addition to a rush for a TD and 47 yards. Allen finished with a passer rating of 117.20.
Buffalo’s defense was also present as it got past New York’s offensive line to sack the QB four times for a total loss of 36 yards. At the top was DE Gregory Rousseau with his two sacks. Rousseau now has seven sacks this season.
Meanwhile, the Dolphins were within striking distance but couldn’t close the gap last Sunday after losing 23-17 to the Los Angeles Chargers. No one had outstanding play on offense for Miami, but QB Tua Tagovailoa led by touchdown. One of the most exciting moments was Hill’s 60-yard TD reception from Hill on the right side of the field in the third quarter.
The Bills are expected to win this with ease, but they should have easily beat the Jets on Nov. 6 and slipped with a 20-17 instead. In other words, don’t count out Miami just yet.
