How to watch Buffalo Bills vs. Miami Dolphins game on TV, live stream

Perhaps the NFL simply underestimated the playoff viability of the Miami Dolphins, or maybe it looked at the recent one-sidedness of the series against the Buffalo Bills and just figured 1 p.m. Sunday in a CBS regional TV window was the place to put this Week 3 game.

But when you look at the schedule, it’s pretty clear that the game of the week is this AFC East showdown at Hard Rock Stadium where the winner will move to 3-0 and grab sole possession of first place in the division.

Once upon a time, Bills-Dolphins was one of the great rivalries in the league, back in the days when Jim Kelly and Marv Levy were battling Dan Marino and Don Shula. Those days are long gone, and this rivalry has certainly softened since the dawn of the 21st century, mainly because neither team – until only the last few years – has been relevant.

However, if the first two weeks are any indication, Bills-Dolphins might become a thing again with the emergence of Miami quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and his two dynamic receivers Jaylen Waddle and long-time Bills’ tormentor Tyreek Hill.
