Buffalo Bills rolled to yet another victory over the Miami Dolphins on Thursday night
The Buffalo Bills cruised to another commanding win over the Miami Dolphins on Thursday night, powered by three first-half touchdown runs from James Cook and two interceptions by Ja’Marcus Ingram. The Bills secured a 31-10 victory at Hard Rock Stadium.
However, the loss wasn’t the Dolphins’ biggest worry. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa sustained a concussion late in the third quarter and was immediately ruled out of the game. Tagovailoa had a difficult night, throwing three interceptions, including one that Ingram returned for a touchdown in the third quarter. With Tagovailoa’s history of concussions, the Dolphins now face an uncertain future as they assess his condition.

Both quarterbacks have started the season on a high note, with Allen leading ESPN’s QBR metric after Week 1. He had his fourth career game with multiple rushing and passing touchdowns, completing 18 of 23 passes (78.3%) for 232 yards while also rushing nine times for 39 yards. This kind of dual-threat ability will be crucial against the Miami defense.
Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, last season’s leader in passing yards, continued his strong performance in Week 1, completing 23 of 37 passes (62.2%) for 338 yards and a touchdown in Miami’s victory over the Jaguars. Recently, Miami’s star receiver Tyreek Hill was involved in an incident with the police over the theft of his car, but that didn’t slow him down. He recorded seven catches for 130 yards, which currently ranks second in the league. Hill’s speed will be a key factor for the Dolphins’ offense as they face off against Buffalo, particularly with Buffalo cornerback Taron Johnson ruled out due to a forearm injury. Hill’s unmatched athleticism could pose an even greater threat in his absence.
