In a thrilling season opener, the Miami Dolphins topped the Buffalo Bills 21-13, marking a strong start to the 2027 campaign. With both teams vying for early momentum in the AFC East, Miami's win sets the tone for what promises to be a competitive season ahead. Offensively, Malik Willis led the Dolphins with two touchdown passes, showcasing his ability to make big plays when it mattered most. De'Von Achane also shined on the ground, racking up 115 rushing yards, while Chris Bell was a standout in the air with 124 receiving yards. The Dolphins' balanced attack proved too much for the Bills to handle throughout the game. On the defensive side, Myles Murphy was a game-changer for Miami, recording an impressive 2.5 sacks that disrupted Buffalo's offensive rhythm. The turning point came in the second quarter when Murphy's pressure led to an interception, allowing the Dolphins to extend their lead to two scores. Jordan Hancock from Buffalo made his presence felt with seven total tackles, but it wasn't enough to halt Miami's momentum as they secured the victory.
