Mike McDaniel maintaining his cool as 0-2 Dolphins travel to face AFC East rival Bills in prime time
‘“Buffalo,” he said. “I’m very understanding that in this business it’s result-based. My job is, the more that other people talk about anything, the less I even hear it. Buffalo, that’s what it is, and the Miami Dolphins.”’
Dolphins travel to Buffalo, where they’ve lost nine straight and not beaten the Bills since 2016
‘Achane vs. Bills defense. The third-year player presents a dual-threat challenge to a defense missing two starters in defensive tackle Ed Oliver and linebacker Matt Milano. Though Buffalo limited the Jets to 154 total yards, New York still combined for 100 yards rushing. And this is a defense that allowed 432 total yards, including 238 rushing, in beating Baltimore in Week 1.’
Bills QB Josh Allen's 'Mangia' call is an Orchard Park special
‘The restaurant is about a six-minute drive from the team’s stadium and practice facility. Allen, drafted by the Bills at No. 7 in 2018, has been going for years, including a time when he used to be able to go with family and friends and sit in the open dining room — something that can’t happen anymore.’
Bills rule out LB Matt Milano, DT Ed Oliver vs. Dolphins
‘The Bills officially ruled both players out on their injury report Wednesday after coach Sean McDermott said in his weekly radio appearance on WGR 550 that they would not play. Milano suffered a pectoral injury in Sunday’s win over the New York Jets and did not play in the entire second half. Linebacker Dorian Williams is set to start in his place.’
Bills vs. Dolphins prediction: Can Miami pull upset or will Buffalo remain unbeaten?
‘Pick: Bills 33, Dolphins 16.’
Bills Set to Be Without Two Key Defensive Starters vs. Dolphins Thursday Night
‘Milano, 31, is recovering from a pectoral injury that has held him out of multiple practices this week. The veteran has played in two games this season, recording a sack and nine total tackles. Since a 2022 career year that saw him make the All-Pro team, Milano has played in just 11 games in three seasons.’
Where is James Cook from? Hometown, high school and more to know about Bills RB's Miami roots
‘Cook wasn’t as highly touted coming out of college as his brother, Dalvin, but he’s earned a lucrative contract extension to remain with the Bills. Cook has successfully created his own legacy in the NFL, becoming more than just Dalvin’s brother.’
Revisiting the Bills' last loss to the Dolphins, and the different directions both franchises have gone
‘It was a very odd game, for those who remember. The Bills outgained the Dolphins 497-212, Josh Allen threw the ball 63 times for 400 yards and two touchdowns, and the Bills still found a way to lose the game in the scorching heat.’
Josh Allen reveals key to Bills supreme run game
‘“I think it’s our guys up front communicating well, understanding their assignments,” Allen said. “Krome [Austin Kromer, offensive line coach] and Austin [Gund, assistant offensive line coach] do such a good job of displaying fronts and different types of looks that we’re going to be getting throughout the week.’
Buffalo Bills rule All-Pro star out vs. Dolphins
‘Buffalo will continue to lean on young stars Deone Walker and T.J. Sanders on the defensive interior. Joe Andreesen an Dorian Strong will play larger roles next to Terrel Bernard, as well.’
Is Bills' offensive identity changing?
‘But something interesting has happened when it comes to the offensive identity of Buffalo – it leads the NFL in rushing attempts through two weeks, averaging 37 per game.’
Bills’ versatile 6-foot-4 offensive contributor leaving contract to sign with new team
‘The Bucs are bringing in versatile offensive lineman Dan Feeney, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.’
McDermott says the Bills are, "trying to squeeze a lot of work into a small amount of time," preparing for Thursday Night football.
‘”Well, it’s a little bit different. You want to be able to go through the game the right way after any game. In this case, you know, we watched the film on the plane ride home, about an hour plane ride give or take, from New York. So you’re able only able to get in so much of film during that time span but you’re trying to catch the big things, if that makes sense, to make sure that we can get those addressed and move forward in a better way.”‘
