Dolphins at Buffalo: Can Bills Catch Healthy Jaylen Waddle and Miami Track Team?

The Miami Dolphins are coming off one of the greatest offensive performances in NFL history, scoring 70 points in a blowout - and they did that without a top weapon in receiver Jaylen Waddle. And now Waddle is rejoining the "track team'' and coming to Buffalo for a Bills showdown.

The Buffalo Bills' Week 4 challenge on Sunday when the undefeated Miami Dolphins come to town on Sunday just got a little more difficult ... and a little more quick.

The Dolphins are coming off one of the greatest offensive performances in NFL history, scoring 70 points in a blowout win against the Denver Broncos this past Sunday - and they did that without a top weapon in receiver Jaylen Waddle.

“I think I just saw Miami put up 70 plus points, so long week ahead of us,” coach Sean McDermott said before learning of the news that Waddle has cleared concussion protocol and took part in practice again Thursday.

The Dolphins obviously didn't miss Waddle against Denver. But in this AFC East powerhouse showdown, it's going to be all hands on deck ... and if you think back to what Waddle's hands - and his legs - did against Buffalo last season?

Yes. McDermott is right. A long week of preparation ... and hopefully not a negatively long day on Sunday.

Last year, in the Dolphins' 21-19 victory at Hard Rock Stadium in September, Waddle had the biggest offensive play of the game when he caught a 44-yard pass from Tua Tagovailoa on a third-and-22 to set up the game-winning touchdown in the third quarater.

And then, in Buffalo's 32-29 victory at Highmark Stadium in December, Waddle caused trouble again and had a 67-yard touchdown reception,.

Last week, the Bills sacked Washington Commanders quarterback Sam Howell nine times and picked him off four times, including a pick-six, in a win. So maybe the Bills front can pressure Tua into trouble.

But the Bills are expected to face a much more experienced Dolphins offense and arguably the fastest. McDermott joked this week how the Bills needed "a couple Usain Bolts" in practice to help simulate the Dolphins offense. ... except it's not really a joke.

The Dolphins have a track team on offense with rookie De'Von Achane and veterans Tyreek Hill and Raheem Mostert having been clocked at some of the fastest speeds in the NFL. Can the Bills find a way to contain the Dolphins' speed on Sunday (1 p.m. at Highmark) to grab a third straight win and catch Miami for a share of the top spot in the AFC East?

It seems like to do that, they might have to catch Jaylen Waddle first.
