MIAMI GARDENS — For the second consecutive week the Miami Dolphins are in a near must-win situation. This time the winless Dolphins (0-2) and coach Mike McDaniel badly need a victory against the Buffalo Bills on Thursday, a team that has owned them in the past three years in the form of a 6-1 record.

A loss, and it’s unclear whether McDaniel makes it through the weekend with his job. Owner Steve Ross might find it advantageous to make the change and give the interim coach an 11-day window before the Sept. 29 New York Jets game on “Monday Night Football.”

Buffalo (2-0) has been on fire through two games. The Bills lead the league in offense 450 yards per game, are No. 2 in scoring (35.5 points per game), No. 4 in passing offense (284 ypg), No. 8 in defense (293 ypg allowed), No.
