This Sunday, the Miami Dolphins take on the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, NY in what should be a great AFC East battle. The 6-2 Bills have been dominating the division while the 2-5 Dolphins are struggling to keep up so this is a big game for both teams. Here’s everything you need to know and how to watch.
Why This Game Matters
The Dolphins are coming off a tough loss to the Arizona Cardinals last week after QB Tua Tagovailoa returned from concussion protocol. The Bills, led by QB Josh Allen, are looking to solidify their spot at the top of the AFC East. With playoff implications on the line this game could decide the direction of both teams seasons.
For the Dolphins, it’s a chance to prove they’re for real while the Bills want to keep their dominance over their division rivals. Expect fireworks on the field and plenty of drama off it.
