"Run game: C De'Von Achane (12 carries, 62 yards, 5.2 yards per carry) was effective as was rookie Ollie Gordon II (nine carries, 38 yards, one touchdown). Wide receiver Malik Washington (two carries, 20 yards) also made a solid contribution. They didn't do enough to win, but they kept the Dolphins in the game. Credit the offensive line, too, as the running backs had holes to run through."
"Pass game: D Tua Tagovailoa (22 of 34 for 146 yards, two touchdowns, one interception, 81.2 passer rating) had a brutal interception with 3:00 remaining and the Dolphins trailing, 28-21. Right guard Daniel Brunskill missed his block and Bills rookie defensive tackle Deone Walker was charging at Tagovailoa as he delivered the errant pass. Tyreek Hill (five receptions, 49 yards) and Jaylen Waddle (five receptions, 39 yards) were held in check by the Bills once again."
The Miami Dolphins fell 31-21 to the Buffalo Bills, dropping to 0-3. The running game showed life: De'Von Achane (12 carries, 62 yards) and rookie Ollie Gordon II (nine carries, 38 yards, one touchdown) helped keep the team competitive, aided by the offensive line. The passing attack struggled; Tua Tagovailoa finished 22 of 34 for 146 yards with two touchdowns and a critical interception with 3:00 remaining after right guard Daniel Brunskill missed a block and Bills rookie Deone Walker pressured the throw. Buffalo rushed for 157 yards, led by James Cook (19 carries, 108 yards, one touchdown). Coach Mike McDaniel remained employed despite mounting fan frustration.
