The Buffalo Bills were stunned in Miami on Sunday afternoon as the Dolphins knocked them out 30-13 in a crucial AFC East rivalry game.
The Dolphins, who had lost their last six meetings against the Bills, improved to 3-7 on the season, while Buffalo fell to 6-3.
Buffalo made a statement last week by beating the Kansas City Chiefs at home, reminding everyone in the AFC what they can do against the best of the best.

But the Dolphins had other things on their minds Sunday at home, as they kept Josh Allen and the Bills from scoring until the fourth quarter. Meanwhile, players like De’Von Achane went to work when Miami had the ball.
Achane was a major factor in the Dolphins’ victory, as he totaled 174 yards on 22 carries with two touchdowns, both of which came in the fourth quarter to crush any hopes of a Bills comeback.

The first was a 59-yard sprint with 6:31 left in the fourth quarter, and it came after Allen fumbled on a 15-yard run that extended a Buffalo drive into a 16-6 game. But Achane’s touchdown broke the game open.
Allen finally found the end zone when Keon Coleman made a contested catch for a 35-yard touchdown. Then Jackson Hawes caught a 26-yard pass to make it a 10-point game, 23-13.

But on the ensuing drive, following a missed onside kick for Buffalo, Achane found a hole and raced 35 yards for a touchdown to seal the victory with 3:15 left and a 30-13 lead.
It was a turnover-filled game for the Bills, and Allen threw an interception in the end zone and fumbled once. Star running back James Cook, who had just 53 rushing yards after a great week in Buffalo against the Chiefs, also missed a big run.
At the same time, Tua Tagovailoa, who had an up-and-down season with the Dolphins, showed confidence with his throws despite two interceptions. He had two touchdown passes, including a 38-yard strike to Jaylen Waddle, the team’s leading receiver with 84 yards. He also found Malik Washington on a 9-yard touchdown pass early in the game.

It also didn’t help the Bills that tight end Dalton Kincaid left the game in the second half due to injury. Kincaid has been one of Allen’s favorite targets this season.
Looking further into the box score, Achane also had six catches for 51 yards for the Dolphins in an incredible individual performance. Tagovailoa was 15 of 21 for 173 yards, while Allen was 28 of 40 for 306 yards and also rushed for 31 yards.
