AI Recap
AI RECAPThe Miami Dolphins topped the Buffalo Bills 24-10 in a decisive Week 11 matchup, reinforcing their playoff ambitions in the 2026 season. With both teams vying for crucial positioning, Miami's victory solidifies their standing in a tightly contested division.
Malik Willis led the Dolphins' offensive attack with 151 passing yards, while De'Von Achane showcased his explosiveness on the ground, racking up 100 rushing yards. J. Michael Sturdivant was the primary target in the passing game, contributing 65 receiving yards and helping to keep the chains moving. The Dolphins' offense was efficient, converting key plays at critical moments.
On the defensive side, Miami's Kenneth Grant made his presence felt with a key sack that shifted momentum in their favor.

Although Terrel Bernard of the Bills tallied seven total tackles, it wasn't enough to overcome Miami's balanced attack and strong defensive performance.
