Who has the edge? Dolphins at Bills, with no one giving them a chance

"The operative word being "when." When they did run against the New England Patriots in When the Dolphins run: Sunday's 33-27 loss, they found a few things, but the Dolphins again got away from the run game for just 15 attempts, although the game was competitive for the final three quarters. Miami had 61 yards on those rushes, and despite some efficiency, the team ranks dead last in rushing attempts through two weeks while No. 4 in yards per carry."

"Running back De'Von Achane leads the backfield as he has also been an active participant in the pass game, leading the team in targets and receptions. It's uncertain whether Jaylen Wright can make his season debut, but rookie Ollie Gordon II has only received three carries in two games as the primary spell back for Achane. Miami will have to make up for its banged-up right side of the line,"

"If there's one area the Bills are vulnerable, it's run defense. They are second-to-last against the run, but a lot of that came in the opener against the Baltimore Ravens, with running back Derrick Henry and mobile quarterback Lamar Jackson. Buffalo had defensive tackle Ed Oliver and linebacker Matt Milano missing practice early in the week. The Bills hope to get new veteran linebacker Shaq Thompson in the lineup with Terrel Bernard. Edge: Dolphins"

"When the Bills run: Through two weeks, Buffalo is second in the league in rushing thanks to the combination of running back James Cook, a Miami Central High alum, and mobile quarterback Josh Allen. Cook is averaging 5.2 yards per carry and leads the NFL with three rushing touchdowns. Allen has 89 rushing yards on 20 attempts and two scores."

The Dolphins have been reluctant to run, totaling just 15 rushing attempts and 61 yards in Sunday's 33-27 loss, ranking last in attempts but fourth in yards per carry through two weeks. De'Von Achane leads Miami's backfield and is a primary receiving target; Jaylen Wright's availability is uncertain and rookie Ollie Gordon II has only three carries. Miami's right offensive line is banged up, raising concerns about Jonah Savaiinaea between Patrick Paul and Aaron Brewer. Buffalo's run defense ranks second-to-last after a tough opener, yet the Bills sit second in rushing thanks to James Cook and Josh Allen, with Cook averaging 5.2 yards per carry and Allen adding notable rushing production.
