The Miami Dolphins fell in defeat to their division rivals, the Buffalo Bills, on a cold — and eventually snowy — Saturday night in Orchard Park, New York by a score of 32-29. A field goal from the leg of Bills kicker Tyler Bass as time expired secured the win for Buffalo and dropped Miami’s record to 8-6 with just three games left to play.
While I’m disappointed that the Dolphins couldn’t pull off the upset, I am encouraged by how tough Miami played against Buffalo — showing the world that quarterback Tua Tagovailoa can handle cold weather games, and a defense that is as shorthanded in the secondary as any team possibly could be, can take a top-tier offense led by a Pro-Bowl quarterback in Josh Allen down to the wire and nearly claim victory.
