In case you missed it, there is a big Thursday night football game on tonight.  The Miami Dolphins are hosting the Buffalo Bills.

The Bills have had the Dolphins number for quite some time.  They have won four straight, and 11 out of the last 12.

The Dolphins want nothing more than to turn the tide on the 1-0 Bills and jump out to a 2-0 start on the season.  It appears they will have running back De'Von Achane in the backfield, a boost to the offense that was somewhat unexpected after suffering an ankle injury and having a short week to recover.

That's why it is somewhat puzzling why ESPN's Dan Orlovsky does not think it is a big deal if the Dolphins win this game.  He believes it is a bigger deal if the Dolphins break the spell the Bills have over them on the road in Buffalo.

A win is a win, especially in a competitive AFC East division. Dolphins players, coaches, and fans would certainly disagree with Orlovsky.  Tua Tagovailoa is 1-6 against the Dolphins in his career.  That win happened nearly two years ago on September 25, 2022.

Do you agree with Dan Orlovsky that the Dolphins' winning at home over their division rival is not impressive?
