What to know
The Miami Dolphins haven’t won a game against Buffalo Bills since December 2, 2018, but they will try to end the drought on Sunday. The Dolphins are on the road again on Sunday and play Buffalo at 13:00 ET, January 3, at Bills Stadium. Miami has a defense that allows only 18.8 points per game, so Buffalo’s attack will have their job cut out for them.
Miami can thank its lucky stars for their victory over the Las Vegas Raiders last week. The final score was a hotly contested 26-25. Having predicted a tight win for Miami, the punters hit the nail on the head. Among those who led the attack was RB Myles Gaskin, who took five passes for two TDs and 82 yards. One of the most exciting moments was the reception of Gaskin’s 59-yard TD on the right side of the field in the fourth period.
Most of the team’s points came from special teams, who contributed 14. K. Jason Sanders played a perfect 4 to 4 game.
Meanwhile, when you finish with 273 yards more than your opponent, as Bills did last Monday, a favorable result is almost certain to come. They ended the year on a high, beating the New England Patriots 38-9. The contest was almost over by the end of the third, at which point Buffalo had established a 31-9 lead. QB Josh Allen and WR Stefon Diggs were among the top game creators for Buffalo, as the former went through four TDs and 320 yards in 36 attempts, in addition to taking 35 yards on the ground and the latter took nine passes for three TDs and 145 yards. One of the most exciting moments was the reception of the Diggs 50-yard TD on the right side of the field in the second quarter.
The victories took Miami to 10-5 and Buffalo to 12-3. Miami is 6-3 after winning this season, the Bills 9-2.
