Sunday's Bills-Dolphins showdown started as a shootout.
It ended as a statement by Buffalo, which slowed Miami's scorching offense while putting on a clinic of its own in commanding 48-20 win. The victory gives the Bills the early edge in the AFC East while resetting the balance of power atop the NFL.
The first quarter brought the promised fireworks of the most anticipated game of the young NFL season. The first five drives produced five touchdowns as Buffalo opened a 21-14 lead. Allen and Tagovailoa posted perfect first-quarter passing efforts while breakout rookie running De'Von Achane scored Miami's first two touchdowns, raising his scoring tally to six in two weeks.
While Buffalo's offense kept of the pace, its defense frustrated Tagovailoa with confusing coverages and an aggressive pass rush that produced multiple sacks an an interception. A Dolphins offense that scored 70 points in a historic Week 3 effort against the Denver Broncos produced just six points after halftime against the Bills.
Allen, meanwhile, had his best game of the season while reigniting his connection wide receiver Stefon Diggs. The pair connected for three touchdown passes against a Dolphins secondary helpless to contain the All-Pro receiver. Diggs' first touchdown secured the 21-14 edge for Buffalo. His second extended the lead to 28-14 as he shed a pair of would-be Dolphins tacklers on a 55-yard catch and run down the left sideline.
