Why Buffalo Bills Will Win the AFC Wild Card
Miami isn’t good enough on third downs.
It gave the Bills a hard time a few weeks ago, and pulled off a 21-19 shocker in Week 3, but both games were with Tua under center.
They dominated the time of possession in the loss – keeping the ball for over 40 minutes – and came up with almost 500 yards, but it was a weird game. The second time around they were solid on third downs, but the Miami offense was balanced and effective.
With Thompson at quarterback, it’s going to be a fight for the Dolphins to keep things moving.
Buffalo leads the NFL in third down conversions, the D is great in the red zone, and Miami is about to struggle in both areas.
And this gets ugly if Thompson starts screwing up.
He kept it safe and tight against the Jets, but Buffalo has been a takeaway machine with two or more in ten games. On the year, Miami is 1-6 when giving it up multiple times.
