MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — First-year Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel didn’t shy away from recognizing the opportunity this week presented facing the Super Bowl-contending Buffalo Bills.
On Sunday afternoon, his team seized it...barely.
The Dolphins were outgained by a wide margin statistically on offense, but their defense made the necessary plays to secure one of their biggest victories in years, securing a 21-19 triumph over Buffalo in front of an announced attendance of 66,206 - the second-largest crowd since Hard Rock Stadium was modernized in 2015.
