A defense that was supposed to experience a resurgence this season under new coordinator Vic Fangio looked as bad as it has in recent memory. The high-powered offense couldn't keep up with the Bills after Sunday afternoon started as a back-and-forth with the two teams trading blows.
The Dolphins faced pressure for the first time all season, and it showed how much that can disrupt the offense's timing. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was hit nine times, including four sacks. Tagovailoa went 25 of 35 for 282 yards, with a touchdown and an interception. The Bills secondary did a good job of containing Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.
Where would the Dolphins have been without rookie running back De'Von Achane on Sunday? Well, they would've gone from losing by a lot to losing by a lot more. Achane scored touchdowns on those two opening drives while Miami was hanging tight with Buffalo. He finished with 101 yards on just eight carries.
