Buffalo Rumblings
Breaking down the key positional battles and matchups to watch in this AFC East rivalry game
The Buffalo Bills (6-2) are seeking their fourth straight victory when they welcome the Miami Dolphins (2-5) to Western New York on Sunday afternoon.
To get you ready for the game, today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks previews the key matchups to watch as Buffalo looks for its 15th win in its last 17 matchups with Miami.
It’s no secret that, since being selected with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, quarterback Josh Allen has dominated the Miami Dolphins. The success against Miami extends to the entire team, as Buffalo has won nine of the last 10 matchups between their divisional rivals, and hasn’t lost to Miami in Orchard Park, NY since the 2016 season.
The Bills already picked up one win over the Dolphins, prevailing 31-10 back in Week 2, and Buffalo is looking to complete the season sweep on Sunday. Linked below are the top storylines to watch, including how Buffalo’s defense needs to be ready to contain Miami’s potent screen pass game; what the Bills need to do to limit the quick passing game of Miami quarterback Tua Tagovailoa; why the Dolphins are still a dangerous opponent; how this matchup will be different than the earlier meeting; what has enabled Buffalo’s cornerbacks to slow down talented wide receiver Tyreek Hill; how Miami’s pass rush is banged up and searching for productivity heading into the Week 9 clash, and more!
