Bills prevail in close win against Miami

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- High expectations were put on the Buffalo Bills coming in to yet another divisional matchup.

But the Miami Dolphins gave the Bills their best shot and kept the double-digit favorites close most of the way.

With just over three minutes remaining in the game and the Bills holding a 28-21 lead, Miami drove downfield to Buffalo's 21-yard line. Then, the Bills' defense did what it does best and came away with an opportune takeaway.

Just as he jumped on a fumble late in the Week 1 win over the Baltimore Ravens, on first-and-10, linebacker Terrel Bernard picked off quarterback Tua Tagovailoa on a pass intended for wide receiver Jaylen Waddle.
