AI RECAPIn a decisive matchup in Week 14 of the 2027 season, the Buffalo Bills topped the Miami Dolphins with a commanding 42-16 victory. With playoff implications on the line, the Bills showcased their dominance, solidifying their position in the postseason race while the Dolphins struggled to find their rhythm.
Josh Allen led the charge for Buffalo, throwing for 314 yards and a touchdown, while James Cook III powered the ground game with an impressive 116 rushing yards. Khalil Shakir was a standout in the receiving corps, racking up 127 yards and keeping the Dolphins' secondary on high alert throughout the game.
Defensively, the Bills made their mark with key contributions from Byron Young, who recorded two sacks, and Christian Benford, who intercepted a pass, creating crucial turnovers.

Miami's inability to respond effectively to these defensive plays ultimately sealed their fate.
