The Miami Dolphins lost their Week 8 matchup at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park to the Buffalo Bills by a final score of 26-11.
Buffalo was coming off of a bye week, and their last time on the field was a tough loss to the Titans. In this game, they struggled to get much going early, but they exploited a mismatch against Cole Beasley frequently in the second half that eventually led to their victory.
Miami’s defense was playing as they did last year for much of the game, but Nik Needham was beaten constantly later in the game. Their offense, led by Tua Tagovailoa, could not string any drives together against the top-ranked defense in the NFL.
Brian Flores’ team has now lost seven straight games.
Here’s how Dolphins fans reacted to the contest.

Even Jason Sanders sucks now. This teams ability to ruin players knows no limits.

I’ll give Byron Jones some credit. That might be a TD if he didn’t break it up.

Dolphins need to hire a couple more offensive coordinators to help get these guys lined up properly. #FinsUp

Oh if only the #Dolphins could tackle. That drive would’ve ended long back. #NFL

Mike Gesicki deserves a billion dollars

Tua and Gesicki have Heat culture. Rest of the team don’t got heart

Tua ain’t it for Miami

Looking forward to the it’s Tua’s fault narrative that will follow this game.
