MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (WIVB) — The Buffalo Bills notched their first win of the season in a 35-0 rout of Miami on Sunday afternoon in muggy Southern Florida.

Even though they led 14-0 at the half, Buffalo looked like a completely different team in the second half, with the offense putting together a performance reminiscent of the 2020 Bills.

The Bills defense was staunch in the shutout, giving up only 216 yards and coming away with six sacks on Miami’s quarterbacks (two coming on Dolphins starter Tua Tagovailoa, who left the game with a rib injury after the first Miami drive).

Turnovers plagued both teams throughout the game, with the Bills losing a fumble and Josh Allen throwing an interception in the first half. Miami, on the other hand, lost two fumbles and Jacoby Brissett also tossed a pick.

After being a healthy scratch against the Steelers in Week One, Zack Moss finished the game with eight carries for 26 yards and two touchdowns. Devin Singletary rushed for 82 yards and one touchdown, the first of the game.

Josh Allen surpassed 10,000 career pass yards in the game in his 45th career start, joining Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly as the only Bills to do so in their first 45 career starts. Allen finished the game 17/33 for 179 yards, two touchdowns and an interception.

The last time Buffalo shut out a hometown opponent was against a Jacoby Brissett-led Patriots on October 2, 2016.
