‘The Bills bring only a 3-3 record against the Dolphins on Sunday. Their defense is horrible and their kickoff coverage was gouged for 96- and 98-yard touchdown returns against the Jets. Yet that only makes Bledsoe’s performance this year more remarkable.’

Mare's kicking magic gives Dolphins an edge
‘Mr. Automatic has been human, missing 4 of his 13 attempts this season, including a 48-yarder in the first half of Sunday’s game against Denver. But with the game on the line, Dolphins players said there is no one they would rather have kicking for them.’

‘But this year is different. "We’re finally getting some breaks this year," Dolphins linebacker Zach Thomas said. "We’ve never had many breaks in the past."’
No question about it: Brady, not Bledsoe, answer for Pats
‘Bledsoe has two wideouts, Peerless Price and Eric Moulds, who have combined for 88 catches already and who are better than anything Brady has had to throw to since Troy Brown was injured in Week 3. Bledsoe has a better tight end, better pass-catching backs (including Larry Centers, the most prolific pass-catching back ever) and a much better lead running back in Travis Henry.’
Bigger than it looked
‘But this was a trap game, if ever there was one.’
All Bills' defensive news isn't bad
‘For instance, with 18 sacks in six games, the Bills are fourth in the NFL behind Carolina (25), San Diego and Tampa Bay (both 19). And, amazingly, Buffalo is second in the AFC in defensing third downs.’
