Bills Survive Dolphins Scare! Buffalo Stays Perfect in Chaotic Nail-Biter
The Buffalo Bills may be undefeated at 3-0, but their Week 3 victory over the winless Miami Dolphins was anything but routine. What began as a potential blowout behind Josh Allen’s hot hand quickly turned into a thriller tied at 21 entering the fourth quarter.
Miami showed fight despite injuries, capitalizing on all three red zone trips and forcing Buffalo into three second-half punts. The turning point came on a roughing-the-punter penalty against Zach Sieler, gifting Buffalo new life on a drive capped by Khalil Shakir’s go-ahead touchdown.
In the closing minutes, linebacker Terrel Bernard iced the game with a clutch interception of Tua Tagovailoa — sealing Buffalo’s survival.
The game wasn’t without setbacks. Buffalo missed key defenders Ed Oliver and Matt Milano, while Miami’s patched-up secondary still managed to hold the Bills in check at times. Even so, Allen etched his name into history, becoming the fastest player to reach 300 total touchdowns (including playoffs).
Standouts included tight end Dalton Kincaid, who grabbed five catches for 66 yards and a touchdown, wideout Tyrell Shavers making critical grabs, and Bernard stepping up as the defensive anchor. On the downside, defensive linemen T.J. Sanders and Javon Solomon failed to generate pressure, while cornerback Tre’Davious White struggled against Miami’s speed.
Despite the win, the Bills’ defensive issues — especially on third downs, where Miami converted 10 of 15 tries — remain glaring. With the New Orleans Saints up next, Buffalo must tighten up if they want to prove they’re true contenders.
