It wasn’t always pretty, but the Buffalo Bills persevered against an AFC East foe that was hell-bent on making noise at their expense. Now, the Bills are 7-2, having dropped the Miami Dolphins to 2-6 — and leaving them firmly in the rearview mirror on the road to AFC East supremacy.
After a slow start that saw Buffalo trailing 10-6 at halftime, the Bills adapted a methodical second-half game plan that leveraged big plays in key moments to steal hope from Miami. Yet the Dolphins never flinched, keeping the outcome in doubt with just seconds left in regulation.
