Buffalo Bills Gear Up for Week 9 Showdown Against Miami Dolphins

The Buffalo Bills, currently leading the AFC East with a 6-2 record, are set to host the Miami Dolphins at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, NY, on Sunday, November 3. The Dolphins, who are struggling with a 2-5 record, are looking to bounce back after a recent defeat against the Arizona Cardinals, despite the return of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa from concussion protocols.

The game, scheduled for 1 p.m. ET, will be broadcast live on CBS and can also be streamed on various platforms including Paramount+, Fubo TV, DirecTV, and YouTube TV. For fans outside the local market, the game can be accessed through YouTube TV’s NFL Sunday Ticket and NFL+.

In the lead-up to the game, Miami Dolphins tight end Jonnu Smith has added some tension by criticizing the city of Buffalo, calling it “the worst place you can be in the world” and disparaging the local buffalo wings. This could serve as motivation for the Bills, who had a dominant 31-10 win over the Dolphins in their previous matchup on September 12.

The Bills will be without several key players, including wide receiver Amari Cooper, safety Mike Edwards, linebacker Nick Morrow, and fullback Reggie Gilliam, who are all listed as inactive for the game.

In other Bills news, undrafted rookie linebacker Joe Andreessen, a fan favorite from Depew, NY, was recently fined $4,421.29 by the NFL for unnecessary roughness. Former Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has offered to pay the fine, highlighting the strong bond between the team and its community.
