Bills have little time to enjoy rout over Commanders with high-scoring Dolphins up next

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Sean McDermott had little time savoring a blowout win in his 100th game as the Buffalo Bills head coach. Dominating as his defense performed in forcing five turnovers and getting nine sacks in a 37-3 victory at Washington on Sunday, McDermott was already focused on Buffalo’s next opponent: the Miami Dolphins. Through three outings, Buffalo has allowed just two touchdowns, 41 first downs and allowed an average of 253 yards per outing, with opponents converting just 9 of 29 of third-down opportunities. In Tagovailoa’s previous start against Buffalo, the Dolphins had 405 yards in a 32-29 loss decided on Tyler Bass hitting a 25-yard field goal as time expired. The second-year player became the NFL’s first to get two or more sacks, an interception and recover a fumble in an outing since Hall of Fame linebacker Brian Urlacher did so in 2007.
