Miami end seven-game losing streak against Buffalo
Houston score 26 points in final quarter to secure win
Tua Tagovailoa threw for 173 yards and two touchdowns, De’Von Achane added a pair of rushing scores and the Miami Dolphins beat the Buffalo Bills to end a seven-game losing streak against their AFC East rivals. The Bills (6-3) had not lost to Miami (3-7) since Week 3 of the 2022 season but came out flat on Sunday.
Achane finished with 225 scrimmage yards and fourth-quarter touchdowns of 59 and 35 yards. Tagovailoa completed 15 of 21 passes with two interceptions to give him a league-leading 12 picks this season. It was also the most dominant performance of the season for Miami’s defense, which had three takeaways and three sacks. Josh Allen threw for 306 yards and two touchdowns, with an interception and fumble, but was replaced by Mitchell Trubisky after Achane’s second TD put the Dolphins up by 17 with three minutes left.
Davis Mills delivered a trio of fourth-quarter touchdowns to help the Houston Texans erase a 19-point deficit and rally for victory over the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars (5-4). Mills completed 27 of 45 passes for 292 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in his first start since January 2023 as he took the place of CJ Stroud, who was absent through concussion. Mills led the Texans on three straight scoring drives after they fell behind 29-10 with 1:33 left in the third quarter. After touchdown passes with 12:16 and 7:29 left, the game-winning drive for a TD came on a 14-yard Mills scramble on third-and-goal with 30 seconds left, finishing off an improbable comeback for a win the Texans (4-5) badly needed. The win marked the biggest fourth-quarter comeback in Texans franchise history.
