Bills Vs. Dolphins Game Breakdown

As week 3 ends and week 4 starts, the Buffalo Bills were one of the teams to come up with a huge victory on Sunday, this time against the Dolphins. The Bills accomplished the task of squishing the fish, by absolutely destroying them on the road in a complete performance, with a final score of 41-14. It was a huge bounce back game after the Patriots dominated them last week. The game was a solid showing of rookies Karlos Williams and Ronald Darby, along with another great performance by Tyrod Taylor. The Bills also knocked down the penalty totals After 3 weeks, the Bills are 2-1. Let's break down the game.

Offense: The offense on Sunday was explosive, to say the least. Once they charged down the field flawlessly on their first drive, anyone could tell Buffalo meant business. Every player took part in the rout, and everyone played a good game.

Tyrod Taylor had a big day, going 21/29, 277 yards, and tossing up 3 touchdowns without an interception. He demonstrated he could move around in the pocket, and showed he could step up in the pocket, something that was a concern after last week's loss. He also threw a lot more than usual, rushing only 3 times for 12 yards. He proved why he's Buffalo's starting QB, and with 7 TD's and 3 INT's. He's the 1st QB since Jim Kelly in 1991 to have 7 TD's and a 70%+ completion percentage. If Taylor can keep this up, Buffalo will go places.

The running game also had a great game. Karlos Williams led the way with 110 yards on just 12 touches. A banged up McCoy only put up 16 yards on the ground, but put up a 10 yard receiving touchdown early in the first quarter. Percy Harvin also had a few carries for 16 yards. Karlos has been solid, but McCoy may need a week or two to get healthy.

The receivers had a stellar day. Bills star TE, Charles Clay, led the way with 5 receptions for 82 yards and a touchdown. Harvin was a 3rd down favorite for Tyrod Taylor, getting thrown to 7 times for 66 yards. Hogan, Watkins and Woods also put up 42, 39, and 38 yards with a TD for Hogan. Sammy Watkins is also hurt, and he's most likely going to miss a week or two of action.

Several key offensive players are banged up, including Lesean McCoy and Sammy Watkins. Both are doubtful to play Sunday when they take on the Giants. With Goodwin returning and the emergence of Karlos Williams, that will lessen the blow of those key losses.

Defense: Unlike last Sunday, the Buffalo Bills dominated their opponent. They smothered the Dolphins, giving up only 102 yards on the ground. Tannehill was being harassed all day, being sacked twice and hit 8 times. The rookie, Ronald Darby, had yet another pick, and Preston Brown picked off the Dolphins QB twice, one going for a touchdown. The Bills crushed the Dolphins defensively, which is why I'll keep the defensive analysis short and sweet.

The Bills are a team who is now averaging 33 points per game. They bounced back after a disappointing loss and destroyed the Dolphins. Buffalo now travels home as they prepare to take on the Giants, who are missing top pass rusher Jason Pierre-Paul and WR Victor Cruz. If Buffalo's defense can keep this up, both offensively and defensively, Buffalo should be able to go on a run, facing 3 sub-par teams out of their next 4 games. Thanks for reading, and as always, let's go Buffalo!
