The Buffalo Bills dominated the Miami Dolphins and ends winning streak | 2023 NFL Week 4 Recap
The Miami Dolphins traveled north to take on the Buffalo Bills in a very important division Match up on Sunday, Oct 1st. The Dolphins were undefeated coming into the game and the Bills offense confidently handed the Dolphins their first loss of the season.
Are the Bills the best team in the AFC?
Undoubtedly the Bills are the best team in the AFC and proved it on Sunday. The Dolphins started their season so strong it looked like there was no stopping them. Last week the game before the Bills they put up 70 points against the Broncos and were considered to be the class of the AFC.
The game on Sunday started off with an amazing five back to back Touchdowns drives, where the Bills took the lead 21 - 14. The Bills controlled all three phases and limited the Dolphins offense on the sixth drive. The Bills offense was balanced and quarterback Josh Allen looked unstoppable, after completing 21 of 25 passes (84%) for 320 yards, four touchdowns.
Let's not forget about another star of the game, Stefon Diggs. If there was any doubt about the connection between Allen and Diggs, this should shut those rumors down. Diggs showed of his athleticism and caught six passes for 120 yards and three touchdowns, marking his third game with three receiving touchdown as a member of the Bills.

The Buffalo Bills are heading to London to face the Jacksonville Jaguars in an early game Sunday, 9:30 a.m. ET
What did we learn about the Dolphins offense and how can they turn things around?
The first three weeks the Dolphins showed so much potential that everyone thought they would end the season untouchable. But what we learned is that they will not put up 700 yards every week. We also learned that if the opponents defense applies enough pressure to quarterback Tua Tagovailoa it could make life difficult for the Dolphins offense. The bills was able to put pressure 14 times on Sunday, which was the most they had faced all three weeks combined.
Miami Dolphins can turn things around if they are able to prepare an answer to respond when the defense disrupt its timing. Luckily for them the next two game are being played at home in Miami and have time to figure it out. They could also double down on their star of the game De'Von Achane. The rookie had 101 yards and two touchdowns on eight carries. He surely is making a case to become the starting running back.

The only two teams that remain undefeated are San Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles | 2023 NFL Week 4 Recap
Is it too early to say that this might be the year that a non-quarterback finally wins MVP again? Running Back Christian McCaffrey is staking an early claim to being the first non quarterback since Adrian Peterson back in 2012 to win the award.
McCaffrey entered Sunday leading the league in total rushing yards and had also scored in each of his last 3 games, but it was Sunday that he exploded for 177 scrimmage yards and a career high four touchdowns. It is tradition that the MVP trophy to go to the QB, but if McCaffrey continues this path this could be his year.
We also need to give credits to Brock Purdy, he entered the day 0 of 3 this season on passes traveling 30 plus air yards. He went 2 of 2 on such attempts on Sunday on his way to a franchise record with 95.2% completion rate.
Who are the San Francisco 49ers facing in Week 5?
The San Francisco 49ers are facing the Dallas Cowboys Next on Sunday, 8:20 p.m. ET
How far can this Philadelphia Eagles team take it this year?
Last year the Eagles started with 8 undefeated games before taking their first loss and ended their season with a 14-3 record. With this record they ended up at the Super Bowl LVII against the Kansas City Chiefs. This year they started the season with 4 undefeated games and still got a few easy games ahead.
However, last game did not come easy to them as they faced Washington Commanders who ended their streak last year. It wasn't the prettiest performance as penalties nearly led to the eagles first loss of the season, but they escaped their first divisional game with a win in overtime to improve their record 4-0. Their next two games are against the Rams and Jets and should be winnable, before they head for a rough stretch against the Dolphins, Cowboys, Chiefs, Bills and 49ers.
A.J.Brown was the star of the game as he eclipsed 130 receiving yards in each of the past two weeks. He picked up his picked up his first two touchdowns of the season on Sunday, including one with under two minutes remaining to put the Eagles ahead.

It was the worst game for Mac Jones and Bill Belichick's career | 2023 NFL Week 4 Recap
Mac Jones was pulled out of the game with 3:41 remaining in the third quarter in favor of Bailey Zappe after the worst performance of his three year NFL career. It was also the worst loss for Bill Belichick's career. Jones threw a pick six and was loose with the ball on a strip sack from behind that was returned for a touchdown.
Jones let the Patriots down on Sunday and now the discussion starts on what will happen next? He will start again next week against the Saints, but can he get back to making better decisions and taking better care of the football? Jones ended his with a 12/21 for 150 yards with two interception on Sunday, but is 93/146 for 898 yards, with five touchdowns, four interceptions and one lost fumble on the season.
