ORCHARD PARK - Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott said that he and his coaches will take everything into account in their scouting of the Miami Dolphins as they devise and perfect their game plan for Sunday’s AFC East matchup at Highmark Stadium.

But in reality, regardless of what McDermott said, there’s really nothing for the Bills to glean from the four games the Dolphins played without starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.

Tagovailoa went down in the third quarter of the Bills’ Week 2 victory in Miami when he lowered his head trying to scramble for extra yardage and smashed into the hip of Damar Hamlin. He suffered yet another concussion, an ongoing problem for him, and he just returned to action last week in Miami’s 28-27 home loss to Arizona.

And despite the somewhat shocking loss, in which the Dolphins blew a 10-point lead, the explosive Miami offense was back to being dangerous after four weeks of misery while Tim Boyle and Tyler Huntley played quarterback.

“We look at everything,” McDermott said with a straight face. “There’s been roughly five games that they’ve played since we’ve played them, so we look at everything. I think coach (Mike McDaniel) does a great job along with his staff of being really creative in putting these guys in positions and making a lot of big plays. The speed that they have, as I’ve said before, is unmatched around the league.”

Yes, but only when Tagovailoa is under center. Without Tua, the Dolphins lost three of four games and scored just 40 points. They were blown out by the Seahawks and Titans, two teams who got pulverized by Buffalo, and they also lost to the Colts and now-benched rookie Indy QB Anthony Richardson. Their lone victory came against the sad sack Patriots and even that was a struggle, 15-10.

Miami (2-5) comes to Buffalo, where it hasn’t won since 2016, trailing the Bills (6-2) by 3 ½ games and a loss would pretty much end any chance they would have of winning the division. Actually, that might already be a lost cause, but a victory would at least keep the Dolphins breathing, so this is a game the Bills should not take lightly because desperate teams can be dangerous teams.
