Dolphins vs. Bills score, live updates: Tua Tagovailoa exits game with injury after taking hard hit

The Bills take a 14-0 lead into the third quarter, after a first half with five total turnovers. Buffalo scored on its first two possessions but slowed considerably after that. The Dolphins lost Tua Tagovailoa on their second drive of the game, and while Jacoby Brissett has played well, he hasn't led any scoring drives. 

Miami's offensive line struggled dealing with Buffalo's blitz-happy approach in the first half.

That'll do it for Bills-Dolphins from Hard Rock Stadium. A weirdly dominant effort from Buffalo. Thanks for following along.

Back to the drawing board for the Dolphins. And of course, the focus will be Tua Tagovailoa's rib injury. For the Bills, it was the outcome they needed to get back on track. Somewhat of a statement game to the rest of the AFC.

That is a fitting way this game to end. Dropped pass on fourth down will seal it.

This game felt closer than the score on a few occasions, but throughout the second, the Bills were clearly the better team. Scoring no points in today's NFL is almost unheard of.

Monster collision at the goal line, Zack Moss proves once again the low man wins. Third effort gets him into the end zone for six. 35-0 Bills.

Exclamation point time for Josh Allen. Called a touchdown on the field but the call is reversed. First and goal for the Bills.

That's the underrated area of Stefon Diggs' game -- high-pointing the football in contested-catch situations. Studly over Xavien Howard.

The Bills pass rush theme continues too. A.J. Epenesa with the initial pressure. Justin Zimmer cleans up for the sack.
