MIAMI (AP) — The perennial also-ran Miami Dolphins won’t make much progress in the AFC East until they figure out how to beat Buffalo, which they’ll try to do Sunday.
Miami lost twice to the Bills last season by a combined score of 74-31, and Buffalo has won five of six meetings since 2013.
It’s a more troublesome matchup for the Dolphins than the Patriots, who have won seven consecutive division titles but split with Miami each of the past three seasons.
And now it appears the Bills (4-2) actually have a good team. A four-game winning streak under coach Rex Ryan has raised hopes for the franchise’s first playoff berth since 1999.
