In a tightly contested battle, the Miami Dolphins topped the Buffalo Bills 17-10 in Week 17 of the 2027 season. With playoff implications on the line, Miami secured a crucial victory to strengthen their postseason hopes while Buffalo struggled to find their rhythm on offense. Malik Willis led the Dolphins' offense with a steady performance, throwing for a touchdown and keeping drives alive when it mattered most. Caleb Douglas emerged as the top target, racking up 84 receiving yards to help move the chains and maintain offensive momentum. On the ground, James Cook III put in a solid effort for the Bills, rushing for 70 yards, but it wasn’t enough to overcome Miami's balanced attack. Defensively, the Dolphins showcased their strength, with Korie Black leading the charge with nine total tackles. Chop Robinson was a disruptive force, recording two sacks that thwarted Buffalo’s attempts to mount a comeback. The game’s turning point came late in the fourth quarter when Miami's defense stifled a critical drive, forcing a turnover on downs that ultimately sealed the win.
