The Buffalo Bills<\/a> had their most-disappointing defeat at the hands of their AFC East rival, the Miami Dolphins<\/a>, in Week 10.<\/p>\n

The Bills (6-3) ended up being routed off the field at Hard Rock Stadium by the Dolphins (3-7).<\/p>\n

After a slow start, Buffalo was stuck in the mud and fell behind. They never recovered from that as Miami eventually pulled away.<\/p>\n

With that, here are Bills Wire’s five takeaways from the Bills’ loss to the Dolphins:<\/p>\n

Sluggish start\"Nov<\/p>\n

The Bills got behind the eight ball early. The Dolphins never let up.<\/p>\n

That was that.<\/p>\n

Buffalo’s offense went three-and-out in their first five series. The team’s defense trailed the Dolphins 16-0 at halftime.<\/p>\n

It didn’t feel like the Bills were in this game at any point.. because they weren’t.<\/p>\n

James Cook stalls\"Nov<\/p>\n

Running back James Cook only had 53 rushing yards. It was the third time this year that Buffalo’s No. 1 back failed to surpass 100 rushing yards.<\/p>\n

The Bills are 0-3 in those games.<\/p>\n

That’s not a coincidence.<\/p>\n

Allen’s numbers deceiving\"Nov<\/p>\n

Bills quarterback Josh Allen was 28-for-40 passing with 306 yards and two touchdowns. But those feel a bit deceiving. Buffalo’s pass catches still are not getting open. Allen had 3.53 seconds, on average, to throw the ball. Allen still looked like he was unsure.<\/p>\n

Plus, his turnovers were back. Allen had an interception and lost fumble. Cook lost another fumble as well.<\/p>\n

Dolphins’ rushing attack rolls Bills defense\"Nov<\/p>\n

Dolphins running back De’Von Achane steamrolled the Bills. Buffalo’s defense had no answers. 174 rushing yards on 22 carries, an average of 7.9 yards per carry.<\/p>\n

Achane had another 51 yards receiving as well.<\/p>\n

Not the class of the AFC East\"Nov<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the NFL, the New England Patriots won again in an upset on the road against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In 2025, they are the class of the AFC East division with an 8-2 record. The Bills are not with this loss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Buffalo Bills had their most-disappointing defeat at the hands of their AFC East rival, the Miami Dolphins,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":40384,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[31,123,125,124,26457,26458,298,10367,11434,22900,2577,342,332,442,307,10077,17028,300,2052,34],"class_list":["post-40383","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-accessfree","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news","tag-sstssportsnflbills","tag-sstsnbills","tag-tagamerican-football","tag-tagbuffalo-bills","tag-tagdevon-achane","tag-tagjosh-allen","tag-tagmiami-dolphins","tag-tagnational-sports","tag-tagnfl","tag-tagnfl-hub","tag-tagoverall-negative","tag-tagsmg-breaking-wire","tag-tagsmg-listicle","tag-tagsports-news","tag-tagtampa-bay-buccaneers","tag-typestory"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40383","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40383"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40383\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40384"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40383"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40383"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40383"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
