EXCLUSIVE: Bills Urged To Trade For Edge Rusher To be able to compete over playoffs
The Buffalo Bills are set to face off against their AFC East rivals, the Miami Dolphins, for the second time this season. Their initial matchup took place in Week 2 in Miami, where the Bills decisively beat the Dolphins 31-10. During that game, Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered a concussion, which sidelined him for four games. The Bills enter this rematch on a three-game winning streak, performing strongly on both offense and defense, ranking fifth in scoring offense and sixth in scoring defense—an effective formula for success.
Quarterback Josh Allen has been playing at an MVP level, completing 64.1% of his passes with 14 touchdowns and just one interception across eight games. Showing improved patience in the pocket, Allen has only rushed 45 times, though he’s still a threat on the ground with three rushing touchdowns. If he can guide the Bills to one of the top two AFC seeds, he’s a strong MVP contender.
Meanwhile, there are rumors that the Bills might seek defensive reinforcements, possibly exploring a trade with the Carolina Panthers for edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney, given the Bills’ close front-office ties with the Panthers.
As for the Dolphins, they come into the game facing challenges. Tua Tagovailoa made his return last week after his concussion in Week 2, but Miami’s offense has struggled, currently ranked last in the league in scoring. Star receiver Tyreek Hill is also questionable, adding to their offensive concerns. To compete with the Bills, Miami will need to establish rhythm on offense and apply pressure on Allen, as their defense ranks mid-tier in points and yards allowed.
