Bad, bad, bad.

The Miami Dolphins suffered a humiliating 20-48 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 4, falling to 3-1 on the season. Here’s three reasons why the Dolphins couldn’t beat the Bills:

Reason 1: Sloppy Football

Negative plays, turnovers, and penalties galore. On both sides of the football, the Dolphins played extremely sloppy football on Sunday.

On offense, an injury-riddled offensive line gave up four sacks, while the rest of the offense had two turnovers, and eight penalties for 98 yards. On defense, multiple pass-interference calls (justified or not) and unnecessary-roughness penalties gave the Bills a lifeline on more than one occasion, and against one of the best teams in the NFL, that’s a recipe for disaster.
