With playoff implications looming, both teams were eager to secure a crucial win, but it was the Bills who emerged victorious, showcasing their prowess on both sides of the ball. Josh Allen led the charge for Buffalo, throwing for 260 yards and two touchdowns, while also connecting with Khalil Shakir, who racked up an impressive 99 receiving yards. James Cook III contributed significantly on the ground, adding 74 rushing yards to fuel the Bills' offensive attack. Defensively, the Bills were bolstered by Davison Igbinosun, who made a game-changing impact with two interceptions, thwarting Miami's attempts to build momentum.
