"After a tumultuous run since their last game in which general manager Chris Grier was fired and edge rusher Jaelan Phillips was traded, it was the pieces the Dolphins kept, like running back De'Von Achane and wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, who helped them snap their losing streak against the AFC East rival Buffalo Bills. Achane and Waddle both scored long touchdowns, and the Dolphins held down Bills quarterback Josh Allen while forcing three turnovers in a 30-13 win Sunday afternoon at Hard Rock Stadium."
"Achane had 174 rushing yards, including two long fourth-quarter touchdowns, plus 51 receiving yards. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa went 15 of 21 for 173 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Waddle, after the Bills reportedly offered Miami a 2026 third-round pick and 2027 first but couldn't get the Dolphins to bite, had a deep touchdown catch among his 84 yards on seven receptions."
"Buffalo had the ball, down 16-6. Allen snuck for a first down on third-and-1, but he was held up as he continued to roll forward and had Dolphins linebacker Jordyn Brooks force a fumble on him that was recovered by safety Minkah Fitzpatrick. Two plays later, Achane burst through for a 59-yard touchdown, eluding safety Jordan Poyer, who spent last season with Miami, and kicking it into his next gear."
After front-office upheaval that included the firing of general manager Chris Grier and the trade of edge rusher Jaelan Phillips, the Dolphins relied on retained playmakers De'Von Achane and Jaylen Waddle to power a 30-13 win over the Bills. Achane rushed for 174 yards with two long fourth-quarter touchdowns and added 51 receiving yards. Tua Tagovailoa completed 15 of 21 for 173 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Jaylen Waddle totaled 84 yards on seven receptions, including a deep touchdown. Josh Allen finished 28 of 40 for 306 yards with two touchdowns and a lost fumble. Miami forced three turnovers and ended a seven-game losing streak to Buffalo.
