Skidding Dolphins see positives despite 32-29 loss to Bills

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Down but not defeated. “I would like to look at all the good that our team has displayed tonight against a really tough divisional opponent.” Miami remains in the the playoff hunt after entering the weekend the AFC’s sixth-seeded team in its bid to clinch its first playoff berth since 2016. “Had we played like that for the whole season, we would be feeling a lot different because it wouldn’t be the third in a row.” The Dolphins erupted for 405 yards offense and 20 first downs against Buffalo, after combining for 527 yards and 28 first downs in their previous two outings. And it’s a credit to the offensive line for really going after a team that plays hard, that if you don’t after, they make you look pretty stupid, pretty fast.” The ground attack opened passing lanes for Tagovailoa, who finished 17 of 30 passing for 234 yards, with 67-yard touchdown toss to Jaylen Waddle, and a 20-yarder to Tyreek Hill that gave the Dolphins a 26-21 lead in the third quarter. That’s what happens when you play really, really good football teams on their home turf.” Going into the final stretch of the season, McDaniel would like to see the Dolphins show better resolve in the face of adversity.
