The Bills defeated the Dolphins 41-14. With high hopes and a favorable early schedule, the Dolphins expected to get off to a fast start.

Last season Miami’s tight ends caught 58 passes, which produced 560 yards and six touchdowns. Cameron (pictured) and Sims will continue to split the tight end workload, and the hope is that Miami’s new offense will help that position become more productive. Stoneburner, Jones, Gray and Duarte are competing for that third tight end role, and a spot on the practice squad.

The Dolphins aren’t playing well on offense or defense, and pressure is beginning to mount. Cracks in Joe Philbin’s team started to show in Week 1, and they have multiplied and grown. Philbin’s squad appeared lifeless in Sunday’s home opener, and the Dolphins were embarrassed by an AFC East rival.
