The Miami Dolphins were obliterated by the Buffalo Bills by a score of 48-20 on Sunday at Highmark Stadium.  

Tua Tagovailoa completed 25 of 35 passes for 282 yards with a touchdown and an interception.  De'Von Achane led the Dolphins with 101 yards rushing on just 8 carries with 2 touchdowns.  Tyreek Hill was Miami's leading receiver with 3 catches for 58 yards.  

Here's a little bit of what I liked and a lot of what I didn't from Sunday's debacle in western New York.

What I liked: 

– The answer by the Dolphins on their first drive.  Motion froze the Bills' defense repeatedly, and Tua was sharp in finding wide open receivers in stride.  Offensive line blocked well on Achane's easy three-yard touchdown run.  Crisp.

– Mostert with an insane catch on the Dolphins' second scoring drive.  The veteran skied high over two defenders and pulled the ball down.  A highlight grab. 

– Achane on the second touchdown.  Hill lined up at RB, while Achane went in motion, took the handoff, got around the edge of the Bills defense, and turned on the jets to the goal line untouched.  A genius call.

– Tagovailoa's throw to Braxton Berrios for a touchdown on the first drive of the second half.  Right on the money on a corner route.  The ensuing decision to go for two points made no sense though. 

– Andrew Van Ginkel had two sacks of Josh Allen.  He was one of the very few bright spots on Miami's defense on Sunday. 

– Achane's run for 55 yards early in the fourth quarter.  He hits the hole so quickly and runs hard.  He should be the Dolphins' new RB1 based on the last two weeks. 

– Alec Ingold's catch for a gain of 23 yards.  He was wide open running down the sideline and pulled it in.  It's always nice to see the guy who does the dirty work get rewarded with some touches, and Ingold looked good on the play. 

What I didn't: 

– Kader Kohou picking up a 15-yard personal foul penalty after the long pass to Stefon Diggs on the game's first drive.  A bit of a weak call, perhaps, but supportable because he pushed him while out of bounds.  Completely unnecessary regardless, and it put the Bills into the red zone. 

– The defense the entire first Bills drive.  Pushed around in the running game, no pressure on Allen, and the coverage downfield was poor.  A total stinker of a series. 

– Latavius Murray breaking free for 29 yards.  Dolphins' front was blown off the ball, and no one was there behind the line to stop him.  Total bust of a play. 

– The Bills' offensive line just manhandled the Dolphins' defenders again on the second drive, which ended with a James Cook 2-yard touchdown run.  Miami knew they were running in the red zone and couldn't do a thing about it. 

– Three Bills drives, three Bills touchdowns.  A 43-yard defensive pass interference penalty on Kader Kohou set Buffalo up.  On second-and-goal from the 11, Allen found Diggs wide open at the goal line for a touchdown.  How does that guy get so open there?  

– Kohou was absolutely cooked again by Diggs late in the first half to give Buffalo a 28-14 lead.  He couldn't stay with him on the route, and he couldn't tackle him with both hands around his waist, with the WR breaking free for a touchdown.  One of the worst games of Kohou's career, without question. 

– Mostert's fumble late in the first half.  Punched out by Matt Milano with his arm.  Can't have that happen.  

– Sack of Tagovailoa on the final drive of the first half, which killed any chance of using a last-drive-before-the-half-with-first-drive-of-the-second-half swing to get back into the game.  

– Miami was absolutely bludgeoned by the Bills' offensive line for pretty much all of the first half.  Coverage has been terrible downfield, with the Bills winning the vast majority of one-one-one matchups.  Allen has also had time and made the correct reads against Miami's zone, with the pressure being minimal from the Dolphins pass rushers for much of the half.  A total defensive failure. 

– Losing James Cook on the Bills' first drive of the second half.  Allen scrambled and froze David Long, Jr., who Cook coasted past.  Allen lobbed the ball, and he took off for 48 yards.  Yet another bust. 

– Tagovailoa's throw to Robbie Chosen that was picked off.  Underneath coverage came over late and safety Micah Hyde, who got the interception, was over the top.  The ball should have never been thrown. 

– Three players later, Diggs torched Kohou for his third touchdown of the day.  A nightmarish day for Kohou and for the Dolphins' entire defense.

– Throwing it on fourth and a foot at the Bills' 46 late in the third quarter.  Too many things can go wrong on a play like that, and they did, with Ed Oliver sacking Tagovailoa.  That pretty much ended all hope for Miami with a quarter left to go. 

– Liam Eichenberg called for an ineligible man downfield penalty wiped out a touchdown to Waddle.  That was a big one, as the Dolphins were eventually stopped on downs.

– There were so many more things, but at 48-20, well…you get the point by now.  A three-phase, total team loss in Orchard Park on Sunday afternoon.
