Orchard Park was poppin’ on a Thursday night, and the Dolphins came out swinging. A field-flipping return and a steady script ended with rookie Ollie Gordon II knifing in from two yards for 7-0. The Bills answered on brand: Josh Allen dealing underneath, then dropping a dime to Dalton Kincaid for a pretty 20-yard score to square it. From there it was haymakers and counters in the AFC East octagon.

Buffalo grabbed a second-quarter lead on Allen’s slick shovel to TE Jackson Hawes, but a missed kick kept the door cracked. Tua Tagovailoa then strung together a long, patient march and hit Jaylen Waddle from three yards out with 10 ticks left—14-14 and all the drama we ordered. After halftime, Allen put his cape on with a 19-yard jailbreak scramble and a strike to Kincaid down to the doorstep, and James Cook cashed it from two to make it 21-14. NFL Next Gen fun stuff followed: early in the fourth, Miami dialed up a trick-job lateral to De’Von Achane, converted a gutsy fourth down to Waddle, and then Tyreek Hill toe-tapped a five-yard TD to tie it at 21.

That’s when the breaks broke Buffalo’s way. A roughing-the-kicker flag wiped out a Bills punt and flipped the possession math, and a few snaps later Khalil Shakir jitterbugged in on a 15-yard catch-and-run for 28-21. On Miami’s answer, with the Fins threatening, linebacker Terrel Bernard jumped a quick throw for the interception and a big return, setting up Matt Prater to ice it from 48—ballgame, 31-21 Bills. Notable: Josh Allen’s third TD of the night was career No. 200, and that fourth-quarter roughing-the-kicker call loomed large. (espn.com)

The stat sheet matches the eye test: Josh Allen: 22/28, 213 yards, 3 TD, 0 INT—surgical and turnover-free. James Cook: 19 carries, 108 yards, TD, pacing a ground game that kept Miami off balance. The Dolphins got playmaking from the stars—Tyreek Hill: 5 for 49 and a TD, Jaylen Waddle: 5 for 39 and a TD, plus Achane mixing 91 scrimmage yards—but Buffalo landed the final punches. (nfl.com)

Big Dill of the Game: Josh Allen. Efficient, composed, and milestone magic with TD No. 200 while steering three scoring drives after halftime. That’s a wrap from Big Dill Sports—where ballin’ is a big dill.
