Plays that shaped the game: Stefon Diggs puts on route-running clinic vs. Dolphins
‘Diggs made a hard plant to the outside then a head and shoulders fake to the inside like he was running a short post to the middle of the field. He practically turned Kohou around and was so open he was able to backpedal as he caught the pass in the back corner of the end zone. “That route where he scored toward the scoreboard, that was a nasty route right there,” marveled Bills receiver Deonte Harty.’
Report Card: Passing game is perfect in Bills’ dominant win over Miami
‘As he often does against the Dolphins, Allen looked like the best player on the planet. He completed his first 10 passes for 105 yards and a touchdown. He had more total touchdowns (five) than incompletions (four). He spread the ball around again, completing passes to eight different receivers. Even Allen’s incomplete passes were good – Khalil Shakir probably should have made a play on a perfectly thrown deep ball, and Allen’s lone incompletion in the second half, which was intended for Trent Sherfield, probably should have been caught, too. Now let’s get to the brilliance of Stefon Diggs. He had six catches on seven targets for 120 yards and three touchdowns. No. 2 receiver Gabe Davis chipped in 61 yards on three catches. Rookie tight end Dalton Kincaid had four catches, but those went for just 27 yards.’
Sal’s Six Points: Bills put together as impressive a performance as possible

Tre’Davious White gets devastating news about injury
‘White suffered an Achilles’ injury in the third quarter on a play where the Buffalo defense came up with a fourth-down stop.

Bills report card: Injury to Tre’Davious White overshadows brilliant game vs Dolphins
‘When you hold a team coming off a 70-point, 726-yard game to 20 points and 393 yards, that’s a pretty good day. And again, ordinarily those numbers wouldn’t look great, but against this Miami offense, they are.’
Allen, Diggs rule the day as Bills retake East lead
‘Allen had his first career perfect passer rating of 158.3, beating his previous best of 146.7 in a 2020 game at Miami. He was virtually mistake-free, while throwing in a few jaw-dropping moments of mobility in the pocket or rocket-armed passing, sometimes on the same play. He finished 21-for-25 for 320 yards and four touchdowns with no turnovers. In the fourth quarter, he put an exclamation point on a perfect day with an 11-yard touchdown run.’
No confusion: Buffalo Bills’ Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs out-meme, troll Miami Dolphins in lopsided win
‘Allen was nearly flawless in the 28 point win, accounting for five of Buffalo’s touchdowns (4 passing, 1 rushing). He finished the game completing 21-of-25 passes for 320 yards and four touchdowns. He added 17 yards and one rushing TD on four carries.’
Emotional Buffalo Bills cornerback Tre’Davious White carted off field with Achilles injury vs. Dolphins
‘An emotionally frustrated White slammed his fists into the turf at Highmark Stadium moments after the noncontact injury occurred. The 28-year-old was carted to the locker room and looked visibly upset as he hid his face under a towel. The Bills confirmed that it was an Achilles injury.’
Bills’ Stefon Diggs has one regret following 3 TD outing vs. Miami Dolphins
‘The Buffalo Bills wide receiver has been seen wearing pro wrestling t-shirts from time to time and on Sunday, Diggs channeled his inner “Stone Cold” Steve Austin following his first touchdown of the game. Diggs found a Bills fan in the end zone, grabbed two of his beers and smashed them together.’
Miami Dolphins say the Buffalo Bills humbled them in loss. Here’s how.
‘The Bills’ defense was on its heels in the first quarter when the Dolphins came out and scored touchdowns on their first two drives. But that’s when the Miami offensive fireworks show that’s been in progress all season came to a dramatic end. The Dolphins had the ball nine more times in the game and managed just one touchdown, three punts, an interception, a fumble, and three turnovers on downs.’

Bills’ Stefon Diggs has one regret following 3 TD outing vs. Miami Dolphins

Allen, Diggs torch previously-unbeaten Dolphins; Bills CB White sustains Achilles injury
‘Allen and the Buffalo offense were nearly perfect on Sunday, with the Bills QB finishing with a perfect passer rating of 158.3 after going 21 of 25 passing for 320 yards and 4 touchdowns to go with a rushing touchdown.

Seven Takeaways: Best QB-WR duo in NFL? A coaching exhibition; BUF loses former All-Pro during rout of Dolphins
‘The most impressive aspect of the Bills’ defensive performance was their ability to generate pressure on Tagavailoa, who had been sacked only once and had faced the second-lowest pressure percentage (23.1%) of any QB in the league entering Week 3. On Sunday, Buffalo managed to sack the Miami QB 4 times, including 2 for edge rusher Greg Rousseau and one apiece from each of the team’s interior defensive linemen, Ed Oliver and DaQuan Jones.’
