Refocused, NFL Week 13: Miami Dolphins 21, Buffalo Bills 17 | NFL Analysis | Pro Football Focus The Miami Dolphins defeated the Buffalo Bills, 21-17, in Week 13 of the 2018 NFL season. FINAL SCORE Miami Dolphins 21, Buffalo Bills 17 Allen’s off-script performance highlighted his unique talent. He consistently ripped off long runs when he saw a small crease and generated some big plays down the field on scramble drills. Allen thrives when the play breaks down, but he’ll need to learn the nuances of passing schemes to emerge a truly legitimate franchise quarterback. Relying on Kelvin Benjamin has never consistently paid off for offensive coordinators. He was generally poor again against the Dolphins, struggling to generate separation off the line of scrimmage and failing to win in contested situations. Jordan Phillips had himself a great revenge game. Despite playing limited snaps, he looked like the best Bills defender on the day. He was solid against the run, making a couple of huge stops that helped get the defense off the field. Micah Hyde made a couple of big stops in the run game and was even better in coverage. His interception was fantastic, as he effectively baited Tannehill into the throw down the sidelines, then covered the ground and picked it off to give the Bills’ offense a chance. Keys to the Game Buffalo The vast majority of Buffalo’s offensive production centered around busted plays, scramble drills and Allen keepers. Although the numbers aren’t incredible, the Dolphins’ defensive line made the Bills’ scoring unit one dimensional.

Hmm? Thielen, Diggs, and Clay. Yeah, he could have caught it and I wish Allen made it easier for him with a better ball.

Nope that would get ugly!

Could have been caught is more like it.

They weren't going to the playoffs for anyone who was being realistic.

My eyes tell me it wasn't a good pass regardless of who said what. He could have made a play for his QB, but he didn't.
