### **2\. Buffalo's passing game comes to life**
Buffalo's passing attack came to life in Week 9 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Quarterback Josh Allen set a franchise record for completion percentage in a single game with 88.5% (min. 15 attempts).
Allen got into a great rhythm with receivers, throwing for 273 yards. It was just the second game this season Buffalo has passed for more than 270 yards. Ten different players also caught a pass from Allen against the Chiefs.
"I thought he just honed in on some of his details, his techniques, his mechanics as we were kind of rolling and saw the ball go in the rim early in the first drive," offensive coordinator Joe Brady said of Allen's day. "And after that, you knew he was in full control and no matter what I called, he was going to find a way to make it work."
The tight end room was a magnet for targets as they combined for 149 receiving yards, the most by Buffalo in a game since 1970. Tight end Dalton Kincaid led the way with six catches for 101 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Kincaid should have favorable matchups for a second straight week against Miami's defense. The Dolphins have allowed 36 total points (2nd worst) and 603 total yards (3rd worst) to tight ends.
"You see how important Kincaid is. He just is," [ESPN NFL analyst Dan Orlovsky told One Bills Live](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZO2pMXDzbE). "He's a matchup absolute nightmare. When he's on the field I don't know how defenses truly want to play him. I truly believe he's the starting point (in the) pass game for them.
"If you go back to some of the plays (against Kansas City), he's by himself. The Bills are using Kincaid like the Chiefs have used Kelce for a decade."
Overall, the Dolphins rank 10th against the pass allowing 198.1 passing yards per game. This number drops quite a bit when you look at passing yards per attempt – Miami falls to 26th allowing 7.7 passing yards per attempt. Their defense hasn't been successful at picking off quarterbacks as they have just one interception through nine weeks, which ranks 30th.
In terms of how the Bills can flip a memorable performance forward, Sean McDermott said their success against Kansas City started with their preparation.
"It starts with the staff, the offensive staff putting together, led by Joe, a really good plan, players understanding it," McDermott said. "Josh looked very in control of knowing what he was seeing out there. And you combine that with our ability to run the football, and all of a sudden it gets really hard to defend."
