Dolphins Look to Upset Bills by Forcing Turnovers, Controlling Clock, and Playing Smart Football

Dolphins Look to Upset Bills by;

• Force Josh Allen into Turnovers

The Miami Dolphins know they have to find a way to stop Josh Allen if they want to upset the Buffalo Bills. Allen has a stellar record against the Dolphins, with 11 wins and 34 touchdowns in their previous meetings. To combat this, the Dolphins’ defense is focusing on forcing Allen into turnovers.

Allen’s tendency to hold onto the ball and try to make plays with his legs can sometimes put him at risk of fumbling or throwing interceptions. The Dolphins are aware of this and are preparing to capitalize on any mistakes he may make. “You have to make sure not only try to tackle him, but you almost have equally as good of a chance as tackling the ball,” said Miami defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver.

By putting pressure on Allen and being mindful of his tendencies, the Dolphins hope to force him into making mistakes and turn the tide of the game in their favor. This will require a disciplined and aggressive approach from the defense, but they are up for the challenge.

• Stay Committed to Ball Control and Ground Game

The Dolphins know they can’t match the Bills’ explosive offense, so they’re focusing on what they do best: running the ball. Miami has topped 150 yards rushing in three straight games, and they’re looking to keep that momentum going.

“We don’t need to hit a home run every play,” said offensive coordinator Frank Smith. “We just need to stay committed to our game plan and sustain drives.” With Tua Tagovailoa’s struggles against the Bills (1-7 record and multiple injuries), the Dolphins are leaning on their ground game to control the clock and keep the Bills’ offense off the field.

By running the ball effectively, the Dolphins can also open up play-action passing opportunities and take shots down the field. This balanced approach will make it harder for the Bills’ defense to key in on any one aspect of the Dolphins’ offense.

• Overcome Depth and Injury Issues with Flawless Technique and Fundamentals

The Dolphins are dealing with multiple injuries on both sides of the ball, but they know they can’t let that excuse hold them back. “We need to play with flawless technique and fundamentals,” said head coach Mike McDaniel. “We can’t afford to make mental errors or get lackadaisical.”

By focusing on the basics and playing smart football, the Dolphins hope to overcome their depth issues and pull off an upset in Buffalo. This means executing assignments, tackling well, and avoiding penalties.

A special teams play or two wouldn’t hurt either – a big return or a long field goal could swing momentum in their favor. The Dolphins are preparing for a tough road environment in Buffalo, but they’re confident in their ability to rise to the challenge.
