The Miami Dolphins have one of their toughest games of the season coming up in Week 16.
Despite some of the jokes, the Cowboys are one of the best teams in the league and have a genuine MVP candidate at quarterback. The Dolphins will have their hands full, especially when you see that there are many similarities between the strengths and weaknesses of both teams.
However, the Dolphins will have one clear advantage heading into the game. One of their rivals did just put out the book on how to beat the Cowboys in the most convincing manner possible.
The Bills haven't been all that convincing this season, but that didn't stop them from putting together one of the most impressive wins of the year in a 31-10 win over the Cowboys.
The biggest surprise of this win? Josh Allen put together a mere 7/15 through the air for 94 yards and a touchdown.
The real success for Buffalo came on the ground. James Cook was the lead man to the tune of 179 yards on 25 carries, and the rest of the group was able to add in another 87 yards in reserve.
The Cowboys couldn't do a thing to slow down the rushing attack, and mistake of continuing to line up with six men in the box continued to provide opportunities for Buffalo to run while ahead.
The Dolphins will be taking notes. Raheem Mostert has been having a better season than Cook, and the Dolphins have been saving De'Von Achane for a moment just like this.
If the Dolphins can get their run game going like they did in some of the earlier games this year, Achane and Mostert could both easily go over 100 yards and keep Dak Prescott and the dangerous Cowboys offense off the field for as long as possible.
It isn't rocket science: the Dolphins run the ball as well as anyone in the league and may still be without their best wide receiver. Assuming the game goes anything like the one last night, it should end in a convincing win for the Dolphins.
