Bills vs. Dolphins: Team connections
The Buffalo Bills (2-1) are host the Miami Dolphins (3-0) in Week 4.
While a brand new NFL weekend, both teams are familiar with one another. Some players and coaches more than others.
Here’s a quick list of connections the two teams have with one another ahead of Sunday’s matchup:
WR Trent Sherfield
Sherfield signed with the Bills this offseason via a one-year deal. Prior to that, he was with the Dolphins. Notably, Miami receiver Tyreek Hill was upset that Sherfield signed in Buffalo.
RB James Cook
Cook was a second-round pick of the Bills in 2022 out of Georgia. However, his hometown is the Miami area. He attended Miami Central Senior High School, as did his brother, Pro Bowl running back Dalvin Cook.
CB Kaiir Elam
The former first-round pick of the Bills has been inactive all year. He’d be happy to play, especially against the Dolphins. Elam attended the University of Florida but his hometown is West Palm Beach, about an hour north of Miami.
DT Jordan Phillips
Phillips began his career with the Dolphins. In 2018, he originally joined the Bills when he was claimed off waivers from Miami. Phillips then re-signed in Buffalo ahead of the 2022 season.
DE Greg Rousseau
Bills offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey
Dorsey had one of the most decorated college football careers in NCAA history. He did it all at the University of Miami.
LS Blake Ferguson
Bills long snapper Reid Ferguson knowns the Dolphins’ long snapper well. It’s his brother, Blake Ferguson.
TE Tyler Kroft
Tyler Kroft is close to completing the AFC East cycle: He’s played for the Bills (2019-2020), Jets (2021) and now Dolphins (2023).
