Bills OL Dion Dawkins hilariously compared playing Dolphins for a third time to a third date

When the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins square off in the AFC Wild Card Game this Sunday, the division rivals will have the unique mark of having played each other for the third time this season. The two AFC contenders split both previous regular season matchups, with the home team prevailing on each occasion.

Anyone who follows the NFL on a regular basis knows that games born out of a division rivalry can sometimes make for some unpredictable chaos. Even if the Dolphins will be without starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, anything can happen in a playoff battle when two squads know each other intimately.

This was a reality not lost on Bills offensive lineman Dion Dawkins.

While describing the prospects of the third game between Buffalo and Miami this season, Dawkins made a hilarious comparison to a third date in the early stages of getting to know someone. It’s absolute gold:

Dion Dawkins, first-team all-wordsmith, says the third meeting between the Bills & Dolphins is like a third date.
At that point, you should be familiar enough to know if the person you’re seeing likes lemon drops or Shirley temples. And then?
“Hopefully, we can take ‘em home.”

I mean, look at that setup. The man came ready for his media availability, clearly prepared to answer a question about playing a team three times in one year.

Here’s a video of this wonderful exchange:

Sunday will be the 3rd time this season the #Bills will have faced the #Dolphins.

I don’t know if Dawkins actually knows what kind of drink the Dolphins prefer. Because, you know, you have to go on a real date for that. But he’s certainly not someone who lacks for words as a crucial player on one of the Super Bowl 57 favorites.

NFL fans thought Dawkins comparing Bills-Dolphins 3.0 to a third date was hilarious
