Offense Powers the Buffalo Bills Over the Miami Dolphins

Looking to end a three-game home losing streak there was a pretty good indication that things were destined to go the way of the Buffalo Bills on Sunday when on the Miami Dolphins first offensive play of the day the ball went sailing over the head of quarterback Ryan Tannehill resulting in a safety.  On the final offensive play of the first half the Dolphins came up empty on a first and goal from the one yard line.

But on this day it was the offense that finally got into gear for the Bills leading the way to a 33-17 victory.  With Tyrod Taylor, Sammy Watkins and Karlos Williams back in the lineup it made a huge difference in the Bills' productivity.

Taylor was an efficient 11 of 12 for 181 yards and a touchdown.

Watkins returned to catch eight passes for 168 yards including a 44-yard touchdown and a 63-yard reception late in the first half that set up Karlos Williams' 11-yard touchdown run.  It gives Williams touchdowns in five straight games.  He finished with 110 yards on nine carries.

LeSean McCoy also had a big day.  He ran 16 times for 112 yards including a 48-yard touchdown run.

It was another rough day against the Bills for Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill.  He finished with 309 yards passing but trailing 19-14 in the third quarter, Jerry Hughes sack of Tannehill and fumble recovery set up the Bills for a touchdown that put the game out of reach.

The Bills improve to 4-4 on the season and 2-1 in the division.  Another division game and quick turnaround coming up this week for the Bills.  They play the New York Jets in New Jersey on Thursday night.
