With both teams vying for a spot in the playoffs, the stakes were high, but Miami emerged victorious in front of a raucous home crowd. Leading the charge for the Dolphins was Malik Willis, who connected for three touchdown passes, showcasing his ability to exploit Buffalo's defensive weaknesses. Caleb Douglas was his primary target, racking up 97 receiving yards and making key plays throughout the game, while Ollie Gordon II added a solid ground game with 71 rushing yards to keep the Bills' defense on their heels.
