The Miami Dolphins were handed their first loss of the season on Sunday, as they were defeated by the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium.
Mike McDaniel’s team had been riding high as the lone unbeaten team left in the AFC, but the Bills punched them in the mouth. Miami was unable to slow down Josh Allen, who threw for 320 yards and four touchdowns while throwing just four incompletions. They were also incapable of putting together consistent scoring drives after their first two possessions resulted in touchdowns.
