Miami Dolphins vs. Buffalo Bills live result and score: Achane ties game at 7

Heading off the field after a 37-3 win over the Washington Commanders, the Buffalo Bills’ defense had every reason to strut. Sam Howell and the Commanders were a feel-good, 2-0 team playing in front of an invigorated fan base. And then the Bills’ defense put Howell in a blender, sacking him nine times, forcing five turnovers, scoring a touchdown and putting together as thorough a defensive performance as we’ve seen under Sean McDermott.

But the Bills didn’t need to wait long to remember the big picture. All they had to do was flip on the television or pull out their phones to see what the Miami Dolphins were doing. Buffalo’s Week 4 opponent and biggest threat in the AFC East improved to 3-0 with a 70-20 win over the Denver Broncos. Yes, the Dolphins scored 70 points and had 726 yards of total offense despite playing without star receiver Jaylen Waddle.

So, McDermott wasn’t in the mood to bask in the glow of his 100th career game as an NFL coach after Buffalo pummeled Washington.

“I think I just saw Miami put up 70-plus points, so we’ve got a long week ahead of us,” McDermott said.

The Bills certainly look ready, though, after a near-flawless performance for a second straight week. Here are our observations from the win.
