BREAKING: Bills confirm major decision as they get huge defensive boost

The Buffalo Bills aim to extend their AFC East lead on Sunday when they host the Miami Dolphins. Buffalo holds a 3.5-game advantage over Miami, who sits third in the division with a 2-5 record. A win would not only widen the Bills’ lead over the Dolphins but would also put Buffalo at 3-0 within the division this season. Despite dealing with injuries to key defensive players throughout the season, the Bills may get a lift this week. Head coach Sean McDermott indicated that linebacker Terrel Bernard, the team’s defensive captain, is expected to play after missing three games with pectoral and ankle injuries. In his five starts, Bernard has tallied 32 tackles, three tackles-for-loss, and an interception, contributing essential leadership and communication to Buffalo’s defense—an asset in a divisional clash. In other injury news, receivers Amari Cooper and Curtis Samuel, along with cornerback Christian Benford, are listed as questionable for Sunday’s game. If Cooper and Samuel are unable to play, it could be a setback for Buffalo’s offense, which has recently shown improvement. Meanwhile, Miami’s Tyreek Hill is expected to play despite managing a foot injury throughout the week.
