ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. >> The Miami Dolphins played well enough to contend with the Buffalo Bills for 60 minutes in their house on a short week.

They played well enough to warrant coach Mike McDaniel keeping his job at this point in time with so much speculation over his job status.

They didn’t quite play well enough to overcome the mighty Bills.

Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was intercepted with three minutes left, and the Dolphins suffered costly game-changing penalties in dropping a 31-21 decision against Buffalo on Thursday night at Highmark Stadium.

Miami is 0-3 for the first time since 2019. Buffalo (3-0) extended its overall win streak over the Dolphins to seven, plus 14 of the past 15 and a 10th consecutive meeting in western New York, last suffering a home loss to Miami in 2016.
