Hello, and welcome to another edition of ‘Live-Blogging Shish on Professional Football’. This Afternoon, it is an AFC East Showdown, between Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills.  

A Dolphins win and they will play next week in the NFL Playoffs. While the Bills are playing for playoff seeding.  

Dolphins are coming off a big win against Raiders, where they had a miraculous play by Ryan Fitzpatrick. However, they will be without Fitzmagic, who is on the COVID-19 reserve list. So, the Dolphins’ season will be made or break by their rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. 

They are hoping for their receivers Devante Parker and Preston Williams to return, otherwise Tua will be looking for his tight ends including Mike Gesicki. They are also hoping that they can get more production from their running back Myles Gaskin.  

For the Bills, they are working on all 4 cylinders. However, they are going to be without Cole Beasley, who had an injury towards the end of their blowout victory against Patriots.  

Bills are led by quarterback Josh Allen in passing. Devon Singletary leads Buffalo in rushing. While Stefan Diggs leads the AFC Eastern Division Champions in receiving.
