Josh Allen keeps dominating the Miami Dolphins.
Thursday night, the Buffalo Bills quarterback guided the team to a 31-10 road victory over the Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, extending Allen's career record against the Bills' AFC East opponents to 12-2.
After Bills safety Damar Hamlin legally struck him while scrambling for a first down, dolphin quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was forced out of the game with a concussion. Tagovailoa ended the evening with one touchdown and three interceptions along with 17 completions on 25 attempts for 145 yards.

1. Turnovers, turnovers, turnovers
Early for the Bills defense, turnovers were the game's moniker. They forced no interceptions against the Cardinals, then intercept Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa twice in the first quarter. Tagovailoa had never before been intercepted twice in the first quarter in his career.
Tagovailoa was searching for WR Grant DuBose on the first possession of the game when he came upon his first interception. Bills CB Christian Benford had great coverage, and DB Ja'Marcus Ingram was able to pick off the deflection setting the offense up for RB James Cook's first score of the game.
Tagovailoa's second intercept approached the end of the first quarter. Tagovailoa turned over a throw meant for WR Robbie Chosen that Benford came upon. The Bills then ran six runs culminating in a K Tyler Bass field goal.
2. allow James Cook
Following a week one touchdown free count, RB James Cook discovered pay dirt three times in the first half—two on the ground, one from the air.
The Bills grabbed over at the Dolphins' 37-yard line following Ingram's first intercept. Starting to advance the ball down the field, the offense discovered they were in a fourth-down-and-three scenario. QB Josh Allen threw it short to Cook, who carried the ball 17 yards for the touchdown on the next play.
Following both teams's turns punting the football, the offense—assisted by an unnecessary roughness flag—found themselves driving the football once more. On third-and-twelve Allen found himself in some trouble; RB Ty Johnson was down the field providing the offense first-and-goal from the one-yard line. Cook then carried the football in on the following play.
3. Big Day by Ja' Marcus
Ingram made his mark twice intercepting Tagovailoa, one back for a touchdown included.
4. Making use of short fields
The Bills lost the time of possession fight and the amount of offensive plays run, but they seized advantage of the turnovers the defense generated—including a turnover-on-downs.
Following the Dolphins' first drive, the first touchdown came from the Bills taking over at the Dolphins 37-yard line and scoring
5. Right timing of pressure
The Bills front seven showed great performance, building pressure in critical points during the game.
Despite ending the day with 2.0 sacks, Miami's offense suffered all game under the defensive line's pressure.
A rush from Epenesa directly resulted in Ingram's intercept.
After a 17-yard rush from RB De'Von Achane, the Dolphins looked to have a great drive; the defense held firm and drove the Dolphins into a fourth-down position. DT Ed Oliver pulled Tagovailoa down on the fourth-down to compel turnover-on-downs.
