Bills Capitalize on Late Dolphins Errors to Win 31-21, Drop Miami to 0-3

The defeat heightens scrutiny of coach Mike McDaniel as reporting indicates owner Stephen Ross favors patience.

Overview

  • Terrel Bernard intercepted Tua Tagovailoa at the Buffalo 21 with just over three minutes left, ending Miami’s bid to tie.
  • A roughing-the-kicker penalty on Dolphins captain Zach Sieler extended a fourth-quarter Buffalo drive that ended with Khalil Shakir’s go-ahead touchdown.
  • Josh Allen went 22-of-28 for 213 yards and three touchdowns, and James Cook rushed for 108 yards and a score for the 3-0 Bills.
  • Tagovailoa finished 22-of-34 for 146 yards with two touchdowns and the game’s only turnover as Buffalo pushed its streak over Miami to seven straight wins.
  • Miami fell to 0-3 for the first time since 2019, and next week’s Monday night home game against the Jets is widely viewed as a potential pivot point for McDaniel’s standing.
