The Buffalo Bills and the Miami Dolphins face off this week in a tremendously important game. The winner claims the AFC East title, and in Buffalo’s case, a loss could lead to them missing the playoffs. In short, this is exactly the kind of matchup that NFL and television executives dream of when they make the schedule in the beginning of the season.
Both Buffalo and Miami are dealing with plenty of injuries this season, though most of Buffalo’s injury woes occurred early in the year. Miami’s injury report reads like a CVS receipt heading into this week’s showdown, which makes planning a “five players to watch” article mighty difficult.
