When is the Dolphins-Bills game on? Time, TV channel, streaming info for SNF game
The Miami Dolphins have been a strong team at home throughout the 2023 NFL season. With a win Sunday night over the Buffalo Bills, they can guarantee games at Hard Rock Stadium through at least the first two rounds of the playoffs.
The winner between the 11-5 Dolphins and 10-6 Bills will win the AFC East and the No. 2 seed in the AFC playoffs. If Miami loses, they will still make the postseason but will play its games on the road. If Buffalo loses, they could still get in as a wild card, but they could also be left out of the playoffs.
Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is relatively healthy, but the rest of the Dolphins are banged up. Cornerback Xavien Howard and pass rusher Bradley Chubb were injured in last week's 56-19 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, with Chubb's ACL tear ending his season. Star Tyreek Hill had to deal with a house fire this week, but he should be able to build on his league-leading 1,717 receiving yards.

The Bills enter the showdown on a four-game winning streak. Quarterback Josh Allen hurt his neck in last week's 27-21 win over the New England Patriots, but he has put in full practices all week. Allen has been a thorn in the Dolphins' side throughout his career, going 9-2 for 3,004 passing yards and 31 touchdowns against just five interceptions in 11 games against Miami (he's also run for 571 yards and five more scores).
