Let’s choose to focus on the destination, and not the journey: the Buffalo Bills beat the Miami Dolphins, 34-31, on Sunday afternoon to advance in the 2023 NFL playoffs. They will host either the Cincinnati Bengals or the Jacksonville Jaguars in the divisional round of the AFC bracket next weekend.
The postseason is about surviving and advancing, and that’s what the Bills did against a Dolphins team that knows Buffalo well. These two teams battled three times this season, and all three games were settled by a field goal or less.
