While it was not the blowout many expected it to be, the Buffalo Bills ' showdown against the Miami Dolphins at home Thursday night did not have a surprising result either.
Josh Allen and Bills moved up to 3-0 in the NFL standings to start the 2025 NFL season by taking down the visiting Dolphins at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park via a 31-21 score.
The Dolphins struck first with a short touchdown run by running back Ollie Gordon II to finish a 10-play drive in the opening period, but the Bills responded with back-to-back end zone scores. Tight end Dalton Kincaid put Buffalo on the board with a 20-yard touchdown grab off a pass from Allen. Another tight end, Jackson Hawes, collected a shovel pass from Allen in the second period to put Buffalo ahead.
The game was tied at 21-21 aft
