"The Miami Dolphins operated with the delusion, as outside linebacker Bradley Chubb called it, that they could take down the Buffalo Bills and spark a run. The delusion proved accurate with a convincing win in which the defense held down quarterback Josh Allen's high-powered Bills offense, and playmakers De'Von Achane and Jaylen Waddle proved why the Dolphins coveted them so highly at the trade deadline."
"Without looking at the score, seeing the Dolphins ran the ball 32 times and threw 21 is probably an indicator they won the game. And what a monster game it was from Achane with 225 total yards from scrimmage (174 rushing). He sealed it with the two late long touchdowns. It's got to be tough for a team from the north to get fatigued in the South Florida heat and humidity for three-plus quarters and then have to go catch the speedy Achane."
Miami beat Buffalo 30-13 as the defense limited Josh Allen and the offense leaned on the run. De'Von Achane produced 225 total yards from scrimmage, including 174 rushing, and scored two late long touchdowns. The Dolphins ran 32 times versus 21 passes, showing commitment to the ground attack. Tua Tagovailoa completed 15-of-21 with tight-window throws, finding Malik Washington for a touchdown and connecting deep with Jaylen Waddle; two interceptions occurred on low-leverage long attempts. Run defense played at a high level, and role players contributed despite injuries. Upcoming opponents include Washington, New Orleans and the New York Jets.
