Week 10 served up a big surprise: Miami's 30-13 upset of Buffalo reaffirmed the NFL's "any given Sunday" credo and cleared some breathing room for New England to re-enter the AFC East conversation.
Was Buffalo simply flat after its emotional win over Kansas City, or is there a deeper concern? The Bills — who had beaten Miami seven straight times — were outplayed from the outset. Josh Allen generated only intermittent momentum until the third quarter, and his first points arrived in the fourth. Key miscues — including an end-zone interception and a fourth-quarter fumble that Miami turned into seven — combined with a rare off day from a top offense. Tua Tagovailoa tossed two touchdowns, but De'Von Achane dominated with 225 total yards and two scores. Miami also held the Bills to just 86 rushing yards, well under Buffalo's season average. Miami’s game plan and playmaking produced a result that will test Buffalo’s resilience before a tough road trip to Tampa Bay.
