Just announced: Buffalo Bills will play Miami Dolphins in prime time
According to a report by the typically highly accurate X account @NerdingonNFL, the Buffalo Bills will be hosting the Miami Dolphins at Highmark Stadium on Thursday, Sept. 18 to start Week 3 of the NFL schedule on Amazon Prime’s Thursday Night Football.
The Bills are expected to get a high number of prime time games and they could very well be awarded the maximum six. Playing the AFC East rivals at night makes perfect sense as it has long been one of the NFL’s intriguing rivalries.
Of course, it’s also a rivalry that has been dominated by the Bills since Josh Allen came to the team in 2018. Buffalo has won 13 of the 15 games including a AFC wild-card victory in January 2023, and Allen has played incredibly in almost every matchup.
In the 14 regular-season games, he has completed 316 of 477 passes for 3,737 yards with 37 touchdowns and eight interceptions, and he has added 647 yards rushing and five touchdowns. And in the lone playoff game, he threw for 352 yards and three TDs and rushed for 20 yards in that 34-31 victory.
The full 2025 Buffalo Bills regular season schedule will be unveiled at 8 p.m.
Buffalo Bills 2025 opponents
The Bills will host nine regular season games and one preseason game, with eight road regular season games and two away preseason games.
Home opponents: Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots, New York Jets, Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, New Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles
Away opponents: Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots, New York Jets, Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers, Houston Texans
Will the Bills play an international game?
No. Those games have been released and the Bills are not part of the International Series.
The Bills’ last international game was a 25-20 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Oct. 8, 2023 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. The international games reveal will be broadcast on the NFL Network and Good Morning Football.
How to watch the Bills schedule release
The NFL schedule release show will air on NFL Network and NFL+ at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, May 14. ESPN2 will carry an NFL schedule special from 8-10 p.m. on Wednesday, May 14.

Can Jason Marshall push for a starting spot – The Splash Zone 7/10/26
The Miami Dolphins will have new starters at their cornerback positions since both Jack Jones and Rasul Douglas are not back with the team. The team drafted Chris Johnson in the first round and it’s pretty likely he’ll have a large role and should claim the one starting spot. The other starting spot should be up for grabs among the rest of the group. Jason Marshall is one of those players who has a better chance of claiming that starting spot after showing some flashes his rookie season. Jeff Hafley has already said he envision Marshall playing on the outside and the second-year corner should get plenty of chances to prove himself during the preseason.
You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.

Miami-Dade Schools names six semifinalists for superintendent
With Miami-Dade Superintendent Jose Dotres’ contract ending in February 2027, school board members are now looking to have his replacement by August.
Dotres has served as the superintendent for the third-largest school district since 2022. The school board started the search for his replacement in April.
More than 20 people applied for the position, but now only six have secured spots as semifinalists.
Here’s a closer look at who Miami-Dade’s superintendent might be:
Jose Bueno
With roughly 33 years of experience within Miami-Dade County Public Schools, Bueno currently serves as Dotres’ Chief of Staff.
According to his LinkedIn profile, Bueno’s tasks include coordinating and implementing major projects “that have significant district-wide impact on the goals of the district and involve coordination of other divisions and offices.”
He started as a teacher within the country back in 1993 and is a Florida International University and Nova Southeastern University graduate.
Ernie Lozano
Lozano is currently Broward County’s Public Schools Chief Human Resources Officer.
His passion is creating a safe and secure environment for both students and staff.
“He has been recognized for his contributions to the District’s safety and security initiatives, receiving accolades for his exceptional leadership and commitment to student and staff well-being,” according to a bio on the site for the National Student Safety and Security Conference & Workshop.
Before his career in human resources, Lozano served within education as a teacher, assistant principal and more.
Sylvia Mitchell
Hope builder, executive leadership coach and seasoned superintendent are all descriptions Mitchell has on her LinkedIn.
Living in Houston, Texas, Mitchell is familiar with the Sunshine State since she was a principal at Charter Schools USA in Fort Lauderdale back in 2012.
She has also served as superintendent twice in Texas and is currently Executive Vice President, Curriculum, Design & Development for Per Scholars.
Carlos Perez
Perez is a charter school principal in West Palm Beach and the former executive director of the Education Reform Project, a nonprofit organization based in Miami Beach.
According to the nonprofit, Perez has over 25 years of experience within education, mainly in New York, but now in Florida.

I went to 2 famous Miami restaurants, a flashy steakhouse and a Cuban hot spot. Here’s how they compared.
Café La Trova celebrated the city’s Cuban heritage through live music, warm hospitality, and dishes that felt deeply rooted in local culture.
Papi Steak, meanwhile, embraced Miami’s flashy, see-and-be-seen reputation with theatrical presentations, celebrity appeal, and an atmosphere that often felt more like a nightclub than a standard steakhouse.
Despite Papi Steak’s over-the-top reputation, nearly every dish I tried — from the wagyu pastrami to the hamachi crudo — was thoughtfully prepared and tasted just as good as it looked. If you’re looking for an indulgent, special-occasion dinner where the spectacle is part of the fun, it’s easy to understand why the restaurant has become such a phenomenon.
Still, if I could only recommend one restaurant to a first-time visitor, I’d choose Café La Trova.
While Papi Steak offered the more decadent, once-in-a-lifetime meal, Café La Trova delivered a more authentic Miami experience, pairing outstanding food and cocktails with a genuine sense of the city’s history and culture.
