Recap: The unpredictable Dolphins play host to the Buffalo Bills as these team battle for the first time this year. And with an offense that managed only 175 total yards and was just 2-of-9 on third down, it’s hard to believe that this team pulled out a victory. But give credit where it’s due and Adam Gase’s squad hung in there and made plays when it had to. While quarterback Josh Allen put up some big numbers both on the ground and through the air, the ‘Fins also sacked him twice and stole two of his passes. When it was all said and done, this was a key victory for a team that was swept by the playoff-bound Bills a season ago.
Next Week: Back in Week 4 at Foxborough, the then 3-0 Dolphins were handed their first loss of the season and in resounding fashion by the New England Patriots, 38-7. These longtime rivals meet again in South Florida, where Miami has fared fairly well in this series (4-1) dating back to 2013.
Playoff hopes: With the win, the Dolphins are still very much in the playoff race thanks to a lot of congestion in the AFC. While upending the Patriots for the division crown is very much a long shot, the team has had New England’s number in South Florida. And things could get interesting if Gase’s team can win this Sunday.
