The Miami Dolphins did not trail the Buffalo Bills at any point during their 30-13 win at Hard Rock Stadium on November 9, 2025, ending a seven-game losing streak in the AFC East rivalry as De’Von Achane ran for 174 yards and two fourth-quarter touchdowns. Josh Allen completed 28 of 40 passes for 306 yards and two scores but threw an interception in the Buffalo red zone, lost a fumble, and was replaced by Mitchell Trubisky in the final minutes after the Bills fell behind by 17. Miami outgained Buffalo 221-90 before halftime, and the Bills did not record a first down until the third quarter.

Injury Report
Buffalo Bills: DE Landon Jackson (knee) left in the first quarter and did not return. TE Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) exited in the third quarter.
Miami Dolphins inactives: CB Rasul Douglas (foot/ankle), S Ashtyn Davis (quad), LB Chop Robinson (concussion).
Miami held Buffalo scoreless in the first half for the first time since 2007 — it was also the first time any team had done so to the Bills since the New York Giants in 2023. Patterson’s 46-yard field goal to close the second quarter gave Buffalo their largest first-half deficit since trailing Baltimore 21-3 in Week 4 of the 2024 season. Achane’s 225 scrimmage yards were the second-highest single-game total of his career, and the Bills had not lost to Miami since Week 3 of the 2022 season. The Dolphins finished the afternoon at 3-7; Buffalo dropped to 6-3.
