The Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins rivalry always brings high expectations for Bills fans, especially since the arrival of Josh Allen in 2018. Allen’s presence has shifted the balance of power in the AFC East, with the Bills consistently outperforming the Dolphins. While Miami has managed two victories, the combined margin of those wins is a mere six points, highlighting the Bills’ dominance.
Allen’s exceptional performance against Miami is a key factor in Buffalo’s success. His career stats against the Dolphins are remarkable: 3,363 passing yards, 33 touchdowns, and only 7 interceptions.
On the ground, he adds another 638 rushing yards and 5 touchdowns. Allen has thrown for more than 300 yards five times against Miami and he always has more touchdowns than turnovers.
It seems Allen consistently saves his best performances for the Dolphins, a trend that repeats twice a year. Week 2 presents another opportunity for him to deliver an MVP-caliber performance against his favorite opponent.
Statistics only tell part of the story. Allen’s impact on this rivalry runs deeper.
He has earned five AFC Player of the Week awards following victories against Miami, a testament to his consistent ability to dismantle their defense. He has 41 total touchdowns (36 passing and 5 rushing) and only 13 turnovers against Miami in his career.
Allen has also thrown for at least two touchdowns in all 13 games against the Dolphins, which is the longest streak by a quarterback against a single opponent in NFL history.
Last year’s divisional race further exemplifies Allen’s influence. Despite facing a significant disadvantage, he orchestrated a remarkable comeback, culminating in a division-clinching victory on Miami’s home turf.
The upcoming Week 2 matchup promises another captivating chapter in this rivalry. With Allen’s history of exceptional performances against Miami, fans can anticipate an exciting game.
