Taylor Looks Like a Keeper as Bills Drub Dolphins 41-14

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Rex Ryan says the verdict is in on his first-year starter at quarterback, Tyrod Taylor.

"This kid's legit," Ryan said.

Taylor looked the part Sunday, throwing for 277 yards and three scores to help the Buffalo Bills rout the Miami Dolphins, 41-14.

Buffalo led 27-0 at halftime and went on to hand Miami its most lopsided loss in a home opener, according to STATS. The Dolphins are trying to celebrate their 50th season, but so far they've given their fans little to cheer.

Miami (1-2), which began the season with high hopes of ending a seven-year playoff drought, fell into last place in the AFC East with its second consecutive loss.
