All-Time Best Bills-Dolphins Games
The Dolphins-Bills rivalry goes back decades, and the most important games between the two have to be in the playoffs, not the regular season, where they have met several times. The Bills are 4-1 in the playoffs against the Dolphins.
Game 1: January 17, 1993 - Bills 29, Dolphins 10
The Buffalo Bills had both a dominant and heartbreaking early 1990s. They went to four straight Super Bowls and lost all four. Jim Kelly was their fearless leader, and he went toe-to-toe with Dan Marino many times. In this game, Kelly had almost 100 fewer yards, but the Bills ran for north of 150 while the Dolphins ran for 33. Buffalo advanced to its 3rd straight Super Bowl with the win.
Game 2: January 15, 2023 - Bills 34, Dolphins 31
After talking about the early 90s, let's take a flash into the future. The Bills were the sizable favorite in this game as the Dolphins were starting Skylar Thompson. It was expected to be a blowout, but Thompson and company kept things close in the Wild Card battle. The Bills were up 14-0 at the end of the first, and hope seemed lost, but Allen's two interceptions allowed them back into the game. Buffalo came out on top, but it closed out as a thrilling playoff battle.
Game 3: January 12, 1991 - Bills 44, Dolphins 34
This was the start of it all for Buffalo. While the Bills made the playoffs in the last two seasons prior, this was their first Super Bowl berth, and it was another Marino-Kelly showdown with both throwing for 3 touchdowns and over 300 yards. Two Buffalo receivers topped 120 yards, and the Dolphins, after being down 27-10, made up the ground and had it at 30-27 in the fourth quarter. While they didn't come out on top, it did prove to be a pivotal battle in the AFC East rivalry.
