Players To Watch:
Buffalo: Tight End – Dalton Kincaid
Kincaid had only one catch for 11 yards in the week one win. If the Bills want to pick up an early season division win, they will need Kincaid to be a key part of the passing attack which will open things up for the receivers on the outside. In the two games against the Dolphins last season, he combined for 11 catches for 111 yards, his best game was week 17, in which he caught seven passes for 84 yards, if he can have a game like that again the Bills may be in good shape tonight.
Miami: Wide Receiver – Tyreek Hill
Hill went off in week one hauling in seven catches for 130 yards and a touchdown, despite what happened before the game he didn’t let it affect him and he started his season off on the right foot. Last season in the two games against Buffalo he caught ten passes for 140 yards and a touchdown, in week 17 he had similar numbers to Kincaid as he caught seven passes for 82 yards and a touchdown.
