Burrrrrrrr
Needless to say it's chilly in Western New York. Santa Claus should be getting ready for Christmas day but instead he is fooling around in the snow in Buffalo before the game. What I want to wonder is will there be people sitting down in the seats in Highmark Stadium with all that snow blanketing the bleachers.
Bills getting comfy
Don't tell Ed Oliver and the rest of the gang that it's freezing in Buffalo. The Bills are obviously more than used to the cold and the Dolphins are, and they will have to use that to their advantage tonight.
We're not in South Beach anymore
The Dolphins head north to an all too familiar stadium in Buffalo, New York. They make the trip to Western New York every year, but there are some years in which those trips are colder that other. This will count as one of those chilly trips, and Tyreek Hill and the Dolphins slumping offense are going to have a tough time moving the ball tonight in Orchard Park.
Bills last week
Buffalo had to win ugly against the New York Jets last week. The Bills were out gained 309 yards to just 232 yards as Josh Allen and the offense had a dreadful day moving the ball, but the defense forced two second half fumbles that made the difference for the AFC East leaders. Allen did have a rushing TD and a passing TD in the stagnant, chilly game to give Buffalo a two game advantage on the Dolphins coming into tonight’s game.
Dolphins last week
The Miami Dolphins dropped their second straight game last Sunday against the Chargers in LA. After a scoreless first quarter, the Chargers put up 17 points in the second, with a Justin Herbert TD pass to Mike Williams and Austin Ekeler’s TD run to set the tone going into the second half. Miami gained just 219 yards all game, while giving up 432 yards to Herbert and the Chargers in the 23-17 win.
We are live from Orchard Park
Hello everyone and welcome to Buffalo where the Bills look to keep their advantage over the Dolphins and the rest of the AFC with a win tonight in a winter wonderland. The Bills have rebounded from a midseason slump and are now eyeing the top seed in the AFC and a first round bye in the playoffs. The Dolphins are in the midst of a two game losing streak which has dropped them to 8-5 on the season. They can still win the division, but not without a win here tonight.
Dolphins vs. Bills live
It’s an all AFC East battle between two of the top teams in the conference from a chilly Orchard Park tonight. The Miami Dolphins head north to take on the Buffalo Bills in a crucial late season battle and AS English will be with you all night providing stats, scores, highlight and analysis tonight from Highmark Stadium.
