Miami Dolphins Week 2 preview: Buffalo Bills

The AFC East appears to be wide open this year, with the New England Patriots expected to take a step back without quarterback Tom Brady on the roster. The offseason Las Vegas favorite to challenge the Patriots’ grip on the division is the Buffalo Bills. Buffalo has a strong defense and seems to be putting the weapons in place for third-year quarterback Josh Allen.

Buffalo has made the playoffs twice in the last three years, ending a drought of non-playoff appearance seasons dating back to 1999. They continue to build, highlighted this year by the addition of wide receiver Stefon Diggs in a trade with the Minnesota Vikings. Can Allen take advantage of an offense built for him? Will his inconsistency continue to plague the Bills?

Coming off a Week 1 contest at the Patriots, the Miami Dolphins head home to Hard Rock Stadium for their second AFC East contest of the year in Week 2. The Bills will also be coming off a showdown in the division as they play the New York Jets in Week 1. Could the Bills or the Dolphins be looking at a 2-0 start to the year and already be in position to control the division?
