Overview
- Tagovailoa called Allen "top tier" and said he cannot match the Bills star's running ability or arm strength, remarks he made two days before their meeting.
- The comments drew widespread mockery on social media as fans highlighted Miami's slow start and questioned the self-deprecating tone.
- Miami is 0-2 to open 2025, with Tagovailoa at three interceptions and eight sacks through two games.
- Allen and Buffalo have largely controlled this matchup, with the Bills winning eight of nine head-to-head starts against Tagovailoa and Allen posting far superior passing numbers in the series.
- Allen's dual-threat profile remains central, including 531 rushing yards and 12 rushing touchdowns in 2024 and a strong start this season, while Thursday's kickoff in Buffalo is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET and some analysts say an 0-3 Dolphins start would intensify scrutiny of the team.
