MIAMI GARDENS, FLORIDA - SEPTEMBER 14: Head coach Mike McDaniel of the Miami Dolphins looks on during the first half against the New England Patriots in the game at Hard Rock Stadium on September 14, 2025 in Miami Gardens, Florida.

Overview

  • With 10:20 left, a roughing-the-kicker call on Miami’s Zach Sieler extended a Buffalo drive that ended in Josh Allen’s 15-yard touchdown to Khalil Shakir for a 28-21 lead.
  • Linebacker Terrel Bernard intercepted Tua Tagovailoa and returned it 24 yards to set up a 48-yard field goal that closed out the 31-21 victory.
  • Buffalo extended its NFL-record run to 25 consecutive games without losing the turnover battle as Allen went 22 of 28 for 213 yards and three touchdowns.
  • Miami fell to 0-3 after converting 10 of 15 third downs but surrendering the pivotal penalty and turnover, intensifying scrutiny as the Dolphins host the Jets on Monday night.
  • Around the league: the Titans are leaning on the run to protect rookie Cam Ward after 11 sacks through two games, and the Bengals placed Joe Burrow on IR with Jake Browning starting.
