In week 1, three off the teams from the American Football Conference East division won their opening games. The Buffalo Bills won a shocker in overtime against the Chicago Bears (23-20), the New York Jets snuck past the Oakland Raiders (19-14), and the Dolphins pulled off the upset against the New England Patriots, 33-20. In week 2, Ralph Wilson Stadium will be the home to a game between the Bills and the Dolphins.

The visiting Dolphins will come into this game riding a huge wave of momentum following the season opening wins. The team will be led in this game by Ryan Tannehill, who had a solid start for the Dolphins in week 1, throwing for 178 yards and 2 touchdowns. He did throw for an interception, but kept the Dolphins close throughout the game until they could take the lead late. Knowshon Moreno had a huge game in his team debut, rushing for 134 yards and a touchdown. In the receiving game, Mike Wallace led the team in targets (11) and receptions (7), and earned 81 yards and a score.

For the upstart Bills, EJ Manuel played well in the season opener, throwing for 173 yards and a score. On the ground, what was believed to be a solid rushing duo turned out to be a three-headed monster featuring C.J. Spiller, Fred Jackson, and Anthony Dixon. The three combined for 27 carries for 174 yards. Robert Woods was the leading receiver for Buffalo in the opener, but many still believe that this group will be led by rookie Sammy Watkins, who had 3 receptions for 31 yards. Defensively, Corey Graham and Kyle Williams each had an interception.

This divisional game will begin on Sunday with the opening kickoff scheduled for 1 p.m.
