For the first time this season the Bills scored a touchdown on their opening drive. The early lead helped propel Buffalo to a 15-point halftime advantage in a game in which they would never trail. The offense reached the end zone on their first three red zone possessions, and the defense got a pair of interceptions in the third quarter off Jay Cutler. The combination proved more than enough as the Bills won without any major threat from Miami, 24-16.

Kyle Williams says he hasn't put much thought into whether or not this would be his final game at New Era Field. Either way, he's been one of the few bright spots the last decade. Amazing career #Bills pic.twitter.com/B6oWAPRVcE

Remember when the Bills started Nathan Peterman for no reason and gave away a game in the middle of a playoff race? That was fun.

PREVIEW:
It’s the regular season home finale, with a couple of playoff contenders going head-to-head, and a significant rushing milestone in sight. Plus, meaningful games for the Bills all over the weekend schedule. Third down conversions and defending the red zone have been consistent problems for Miami. A strong day in those two areas could be the difference for the Bills.
