Game recap
The Bills went blow-for-blow with the Dolphins in the first half. Then Miami stopped swinging.
Buffalo ended up pulling away in the end, but their offense weathered the storm early. The Dolphins exchanged touchdowns early but the Bills flexed their offensive might to pull away in the end.
Offensive might meaning Stefon Diggs. The Bills’ star receiver had three total touchdowns and stole the show… from his Stone Cold beer celebration to breaking the ankles of two Dolphins defenders on one of his touchdown catches.
Because the Dolphins ended up getting down late, they were put in an uncomfortable position. Miami’s offense had to look for big plays which caused quarterback Tua Tagovailoa to hold the ball longer than he wanted to. It nixed their quick-strike offense and left the Dolphins with little hope.

WR Stefon Diggs: 6 catches, 120 yards, 3 touchdowns
QB Josh Allen: 21-for-25, 320 yards, 4 TDs, 0 INTs
