Maybe that’ s the way the Miami Dolphins will look at Saturday night’ s 32-29 loss at Buffalo. If they’ d played the previous two games in California at this level, they wouldn’ t be on a three-game losing streak and be fighting for a playoff spot. Player of the Game: Josh Allen.

If the Dolphins had played this way their previous two losses in California, this stretch would have a different feel to it. The Dolphins did their best under adverse conditions but came up a bit short. Hats off to the Dolphins for their fighting spirit but Buffalo was the better team on this day.
