Noteworthy: Sunday’s game will be the first matchup of the season between the Dolphins and Bills. The Dolphins won both AFC East games against the Bills in 2016, while Buffalo swept Miami in 2015 and 2017. Both teams have played in one-score games (less than eight points) in each of the past four matchups. … The Dolphins enter the game in hopes of ending a two-game skid. Overall, Miami has lost six of its past eight games, including four of the past five. … The Bills enter the game on a two-game win streak. … Both starting quarterbac­ks made their returns last week after dealing with injuries. Miami’s Ryan Tannehill returned after five games to nurse a capsule injury in his right shoulder, while Buffalo rookie Josh Allen missed four games due to an elbow injury. … Sunday’s game marks the return of embattled defensive tackle Jordan Phillips, who was released by Miami in October and claimed one day later by Buffalo. … Dolphins tight end Nick O’Leary will also face his former team two months after the Bills waived him. … Both teams will wear throwback uniforms during the game, while select players will wear commemorat­ive cleats to be auctioned for their respective charities in the My Cause, My Cleats initiative.
