The Week 15 rematch between the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills will be the polar opposite of what occurred in the Dolphins’ 21-19 victory over their AFC East rival in Week 3. Back in September down in Florida, Bills players were seen gasping for air and appearing winded in the Miami humidity. However, the Bills have the home-field and climate advantage as Saturday night’s game is expected to have a temperature of 28 degrees, marking Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s first game in freezing weather.
He is winless in the four coldest games he has started with a passer rating of just 61.4. In those games, Tagovailoa has scored just three total touchdowns while turning the ball over six times, according to CBS Sports research.
Coldest games in Tua Tagovailoa’s career
Two of Tagovailoa’s cold-weather losses have come in Buffalo, but those games did not include his head coach and play-caller Mike McDaniel or wide receiver Tyreek Hill, who has the second most receiving yards in the NFL this season with 1,460.
After four consecutive wins, the Bills are in position to clinch a playoff berth with a win against the rival Dolphins. Securing a playoff spot would give the franchise four straight playoff appearances for the first time since reeling off six straight from 1988-1993 in the Jim Kelly Era. The AFC’s No. 1 seed is in their hands for now with an identical 9-3 record and the head-to-head edge against the Kansas CIty Chiefs, thanks to the 24-20 Week 6 road win. Do the Dolphins have what it takes to pull off their first season sweep of the Bills since 2016, delaying Buffalo’s’ AFC East supremacy once again? Or is this a decisive revenge victory for the host Bills?
Either way, it should be an exciting watch. Here’s everything you need to know:
