The Dolphins’ season ended as the Bills advances

The Dolphins were without their star quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa, against the Bills, which made plenty of Dolphins fans upset. After suffering 3rd concussion of the season, backup QB Skylar Thompson took Tagovailoa’s place. Thompson has made one touchdown and 2 interceptions in that game against the Bills. As per reports, the Dolphins are considering Tagovailoa as their starting QB in the 2023 season after a great season with the Miami side.

On the other hand, the Bills are having a great season so far, as they already clinched the AFC East division. Now, they will face the Bengals in the Divisional Round after beating the Dolphins in the Wild Card round. Bills’ QB Josh Allen is having an MVP-calibre season and has a great chance to take his team to the Super Bowl.
