The Miami Dolphins need a victory at Buffalo to keep their playoff hopes realistically alive
The Miami Dolphins' playoff hopes appear to be on life support, and that last thing the team or their fans needed this week was the specter of a trip to Buffalo.
The Dolphins opened the game as 6- or 6.5-point underdogs, depending on where you looked, which actually seemed like a very conservative spread given that Miami has lost five of six and the Bills have won three in a row, including a decisive 31-10 decision against the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field on Sunday.Another ominous sign for the Dolphins heading into the Buffalo has been their performance against playoff or playoff-caliber teams in recent years.
This is the kind of signature win that's been missing from Mike McDaniel's resume as Dolphins head coach. The one win against a playoff-type opponent last season came against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 16, but that was at Hard Rock Stadium. And while they haven't won at Buffalo since 2016, they did come close not once but twice in that 2022 season.
