AI RECAPThe Buffalo Bills narrowly defeated the Miami Dolphins with a final score of 27-24 in a crucial Week 15 matchup that had significant playoff implications. With the win, Buffalo solidified its position in the postseason race, while Miami's hopes for a playoff berth took a hit.
Josh Allen was the star of the show for Buffalo, throwing for 295 yards and two touchdowns, showcasing his ability to make key plays under pressure. James Cook III contributed significantly on the ground with 78 rushing yards, providing a balanced offensive attack that kept the Dolphins' defense on its heels. Meanwhile, Antonio Williams had a standout performance for Miami, racking up 106 receiving yards, but it wasn’t enough to secure the win.
Defensively, the game turned on a pivotal interception by Anfernee Orji of the Bills, which shifted momentum in the second half. The Dolphins' defense, led by C.J.

This victory not only boosts the Bills' playoff ambitions but also leaves Miami searching for answers as the regular season winds down.
