The Miami Dolphins had a chance to take a commanding early season lead in the AFC East. Had they beaten the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, they would have started 2-0 with a 2-0 divisional record. Miami had a golden opportunity to put the league on notice that the AFC East would not be Buffalo’s division to dominate.
It only took seven minutes of game time for the Bills to dash those hopes.
A three-and-out, a 46-yard touchdown run for Buffalo, a failed fourth-down conversion, an injury to the starting quarterback, and a passing touchdown for Buffalo put the Bills up 14-0 before fans had a chance to settle into their seats.
