Challenges loom large for the Dolphins as they face a condensed timeline this week
The Buffalo Bills are set to take on the Miami Dolphins in a highly anticipated matchup, with the Bills aiming to extend their six-game winning streak against their opponents. Currently sitting at 2-0 in the NFL season, the Bills are in a strong position, while the Dolphins are struggling, having lost their first two games of the season.
Quarterback Josh Allen has been a key player for the Bills, boasting a record of 12-2 against the Dolphins in the regular season. However, the Dolphins have shown flashes of potential, with players like Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, and De'Von Achane having big days in the passing game in their last game.
The Bills will be without defensive tackle Ed Oliver and linebacker Matt Milano due to injuries, which could provide an opportunity for the Dolphins' offense to make a mark. On the other hand, the Dolphins' cornerback Storm Duck and safety Ifeatu Melifonwu are also sidelined due to injuries, potentially weakening their defensive line.
Injuries have also affected the Dolphins' practice sessions this week, with eight players, including Tyreek Hill, Darren Waller, and Jaylen Wright, being limited. Starting center Aaron Brewer is dealing with a hip injury but is expected to play. If he is unable to, Andrew Meyer, who is listed as a capable backup center, will likely take over.
Tua Tagovailoa, the Dolphins' quarterback, had a costly interception in the fourth quarter that led to a loss against the New England Patriots in their last game. He completed 26 out of 32 passes for 315 yards and two touchdowns in Week 2, showing his potential but also his vulnerability.
The Bills, on the other hand, lead the league in yards gained per game with 450 and rank second in scoring offense with 35.5 points per game. A loss for the Dolphins would make it 0-3 in a 12-day span, a streak they would undoubtedly aim to avoid.
Coach McDermott of the Bills acknowledges the offensive challenges posed by the Dolphins, promising a tough game. The last time the Dolphins won a game in Buffalo was back in 2016, a fact that the Bills will be eager to change.
James Cook, the Bills' running back, has been in excellent form, scoring a rushing touchdown in six straight games and currently sitting fourth in the NFL with 176 rushing yards. This matchup promises to be an exciting one, with both teams eager to secure a victory.
