The Miami Dolphins will look for only their third victory in 16 games against Buffalo
The Miami Dolphins are set to welcome the division rival Buffalo Bills to Hard Rock Stadium for a Thursday night matchup,Over the last 15 matchups between the AFC East rivals, the Dolphins are 2-13, including a playoff loss during the 2022 season. But head coach Mike McDaniel doesn’t want the narrative of the initial 2024 matchup to be about those previous losses.
Miami lost multiple mainstays of its defense in the offseason, including defensive lineman Christian Wilkins, cornerback Xavien Howard and linebackers Jerome Baker and Andrew Van Ginkel. “To me, I think it’s very involved in fan bases, which we feel, and it’s very motivating for our ultimate goals and what we want to do with the season, but to have someone’s number, I think on either side, you’re kind of dismissing all the things that have changed that make this new team what it is,” McDaniel said.
“I think the two teams playing is absolutely one of my favorite things in the National Football League because you have – I think it starts with the fan base. When you know your fan base wants no part of losing to another team, you can feel it in the stadium, you can feel the energy and those stakes,” said McDaniel. “Bottom line is you get in this business for stakes like that, so it should be really fun football that will be hard-earned.
