The Miami Dolphins were unable to secure their ninth victory of the season on Saturday, as they were defeated by the Buffalo Bills in a prime-time matchup at Highmark Stadium.
Mike McDaniel’s team has now lost to the Bills, Los Angeles Chargers and San Francisco 49ers in three straight games. Although they looked better this week, they still couldn’t outscore one of the league’s top offenses led by an MVP candidate in Josh Allen.
