Dolphins’ struggles against Bills were familiar during a season they fell short vs. winning foes

Associated Press  

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Mike McDaniel downplayed the Dolphins’ struggles against tough competition earlier in the season, when Miami had plenty of time to reverse that trend. On Sunday, after the Buffalo Bills beat Miami 21-14 and knocked the Dolphins down to the sixth seed in the AFC, McDaniel didn’t minimize his team’s frustrations. They’re just completely overpowering us.” The Dolphins were without 1,000-yard receiver Jaylen Waddle and 1,000-yard rusher Raheem Mostert in those two games, but Miami’s other playmakers shoulder part of the blame. The rookie running back had 163 yards on 24 carries and two touchdowns in the Dolphins’ final two games. INJURIES McDaniel said he’s optimistic about the possible return of Waddle and Mostert on Saturday.. LB Jerome Baker had wrist surgery following Sunday’s loss, and LB Andrew Van Ginkel suffered a foot injury.
