MIAMI (AP) — The Miami Dolphins’ relentless defense keeps coming, and even the Buffalo Bills are feeling the heat.
Miami has blitzed its way to five consecutive victories to cut Buffalo’s lead atop the AFC East to one-half game. The Dolphins are 6-3, their best nine-game record since 2001, and have already exceeded their 2019 win total.
The dramatic turnaround under second-year coach Brian Flores has Miami in contention for its first division title since 2008. The Bills fell to 7-3 Sunday when they lost to Arizona on a Hail Mary.
“We’re in the hunt,” Dolphins center Ted Karras said.
