Injury-Plagued Bills Stumble Against Surging Dolphins

On November 10, 2025, the Miami Dolphins pulled off a surprise upset over the Buffalo Bills, winning 30-13 in a game that saw the Dolphins take a commanding 16-0 lead at halftime.

The loss was a tough one for the Bills, who were missing several key players due to injuries. Defensive standouts like Ed Oliver, Michael Hoecht, A.J. Epenesa, Taron Johnson, and Christian Benford were all sidelined, while tight end Dalton Kincaid and defensive end Landon Jackson were added to the injury list during the game.

Despite the setbacks, Bills head coach Sean McDermott refused to use injuries as an excuse, saying the team needs to "figure out why this is happening" and find ways to improve their health situation both in the short and long term. McDermott acknowledged that the team has dealt with a significant number of injuries this year, more than he's seen in his time with the organization.

With the trade deadline now passed, the Bills will have to make the most of the players they have available over the final eight weeks of the season as they look to bounce back from this surprising defeat and solidify their position in the playoff race.
