Dolphins Dominate Bills to End Seven-Game Losing Streak
The Miami Dolphins delivered a stunning performance on Sunday, defeating the Buffalo Bills 30-13 to end their seven-game losing streak against their AFC East rivals. The victory marks Miami's first win against Buffalo since Week 3 of the 2022 season.
Tua Tagovailoa threw for 173 yards and two touchdowns, though his two interceptions brought his season total to a league-leading 12 picks. The real star of the show was rookie De'Von Achane, who amassed 225 scrimmage yards and scored two spectacular fourth-quarter touchdowns of 59 and 35 yards.
Defensive Dominance and Quarterback Change
Miami's defence produced their most dominant performance of the season, recording three takeaways and three sacks against the Bills offence. Josh Allen managed 306 passing yards and two touchdowns for Buffalo, but his interception and fumble proved costly. Allen was replaced by Mitchell Trubisky after Achane's second touchdown put the Dolphins up by 17 points with just three minutes remaining.
The result leaves the Bills at 6-3 for the season, while the Dolphins improved to 3-7.
Texans Make Franchise History With Incredible Comeback
In one of the most remarkable games of the season, the Houston Texans staged the biggest fourth-quarter comeback in franchise history to defeat the Jacksonville Jaguars 36-29. The Texans scored 26 points in the final quarter after trailing 29-10 with just 1:33 remaining in the third period.
Davis Mills, making his first start since January 2023 in place of the concussed CJ Stroud, completed 27 of 45 passes for 292 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Mills led three consecutive scoring drives, culminating in a game-winning 14-yard scramble on third-and-goal with just 30 seconds left on the clock.
