MIAMI -- The perennial also-ran Miami Dolphins wont make much progress in the AFC East until they figure out how to beat Buffalo, which theyll try to do Sunday.Miami lost twice to the Bills last season by a combined score of 74-31, and Buffalo has won five of six meetings since 2013.Its a more troublesome matchup for the Dolphins than the Patriots, who have won seven consecutive division titles but split with Miami each of the past three seasons.And now it appears the Bills (4-2) actually have a good team. A four-game winning streak under coach Rex Ryan has raised hopes for the franchises first playoff berth since 1999.The Dolphins (2-4), meanwhile, are coming off a surprising victory over Pittsburgh -- their best game yet under first-year coach Adam Gase.Here are things to know about the 105th meeting between the teams:BUFFALOS DOMINATION: Last season the Bills totaled more than 400 yards with a 100-yard rusher in each game against Miami.In the past weve gotten confused against their running game, Miami linebacker Jelani Jenkins said. We didnt do a good job of adjusting. We havent been playing team defense against them, and thats what has hurt us.Ryan Tannehill is 2-6 against the Bills with a passer rating of 75.6, well below his career rating of 85.3. A team turnaround would represent major progress, he said.You really want to take advantage of these home games and have a big win against a divisional opponent, he said.Tannehill and the Dolphins had better luck against Ryan when he coached the New York Jets. Ryan downplays any trend in the Buffalo-Miami series, noting he heard the same sort of thing before the Bills lost to the Jets and quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick in Week 2.I was 8-1 against him, and then he lit us up like a Christmas tree, Ryan said. Each game is different. We know that. We know weve got our hands full this week.BRUISING BILLS: Each game is different, but the Dolphins face a familiar challenge against the Bills: stopping the ground game.That wont be easy for a unit ranked next to last in the NFL in run defense. And the Bills lead the league with 166 yards rushing per game and 5.6 yards per carry.In last weeks win over the 49ers, the Bills netted 312 yards rushing, their most since 1992.The Bills might be without running back LeSean McCoy, who is nursing a sore hamstring. The Dolphins will be without safety Reshad Jones , a ferocious tackler, who suffered a season-ending shoulder injury last week.MESSAGE RECEIVED: After Miamis Jay Ajayi more than doubled his season rushing total with 204 yards last week against the Steelers, a teammate hung a gas can in his locker with an accompanying note: Can you fill up your gas tank every single week?I dont know who put it up there, but the message was received, Ajayi said.He briefly fell out of favor with Gase early this season because of attitude issues. So what was the gas-can message after his breakout game?Just continue to build off of it, Ajayi said. It was good to have a performance like that, but I definitely dont want to be satisfied. I dont want to be a one-hit wonder, so I have to keep working.STOUT DEFENSE: The Bills defense has meshed a year after Ryan was criticized for a high-priced and under-performing unit that finished 19th in the NFL in yards allowed. That was the lowest ranking for Ryan in 11 years as a coach or defensive coordinator.During the Bills winning streak, theyve allowed only four touchdowns. Theyre tied for second in the NFL with 12 takeaways, including three returned for TDs, and lead the league in red zone defense.Theyre doing it with backups at numerous spots. Ten-year journeyman Lorenzo Alexander leads the league with eight sacks filling in for first-round pick Shaq Lawson, who might make his NFL debut Sunday after recovering from shoulder surgery.BIG GAINS: Tannehill was booed at home two weeks ago and has middling statistics in most categories. But he ranks fifth with an average of 8.1 yards per attempt, by far the best of his five-year career.When weve had opportunities, I think weve made most of the plays downfield, he said.Tannehill has been knocked for a lack of accuracy on deep throws, and Gase said the criticism is undeserved. In the past two weeks, Tannehill has completions of 58, 53, 50 and 39 yards.Hes probably a little more accurate on the deep ball than everybody told me when I got here, I know that, Gase said. Hes just hitting everything down the field.---AP Sports Writer John Wawrow in Buffalo, New York, contributed to this report.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Steven Wine on Twitter: http://twitter.com/Steve-Wine.

Cote helped running back Jon Cornish run for a league-high 1,813 rushing yards en route to being named the leagues most outstanding player. Casey Hayward Jersey . Having already announced that the race will start May 9 with three stages in Northern Ireland and Ireland and finish in Trieste on June 1, the rest of the route was unveiled Monday. http://www.chargersauthenticofficialonline.com/authentic-russell-okung-jersey.html . MORITZ, Switzerland -- Fog prevented downhill racers from getting their Olympic dress rehearsal. Craig Mager Jersey . The 20-year-old Pelicans big man glanced up and smiled widely at the well-wishers -- a fitting end to a day he wont soon forget. Davis responded to his selection earlier in the day as a Western Conference All-Star with 26 points and 10 rebounds, and the New Orleans Pelicans overcame a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to defeat the Minnesota Timberwolves 98-91 on Friday night. Antonio Gates Jersey . With the short-handed Warriors needing help from someone -- anyone -- to stop a three-game skid, ONeal returned from right knee and groin injuries that had sidelined him for four games and put up season highs with 18 points and eight rebounds. It was just enough to help lift Golden State to a 102-101 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night. LISBON, Portugal -- Penalty expertise at both ends of the pitch gave Benfica a 1-0 win over Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League on Tuesday, all but ending the Ukrainian champions hopes of qualifying.Eduardo Salvio put Benfica ahead with a powerfully hit spot-kick in first-half stoppage time and, after the break, goalkeeper Edersons penalty save stopped Dynamo Kiev from drawing level.The win leaves Benfica and Napoli level at the top of Group B on seven points, one ahead of Besiktas, while Dynamo has only one point from four games and will finish last unless it wins both its remaining games.Benfica produced most of the goalscoring chances, with Alex Grimaldo going close early with a header off a Salvio cross.Benficca took the lead after a spell of Dynamo pressure, with the penalty being awarded when Domagoj Vida grappled Luisao to the floor at a free-kick.ddddddddddddDynamo, which struggled to create chances without injured winger Andriy Yarmolenko, pushed for an equalizer after halftime but was nearly 2-0 down soon after when Goncalo Guedes rattled the bar with a fierce shot from long range.Benfica keeper Ederson was a villain in the 67th minute when he tripped Dynamos Derlis Gonzalez and gave away a penalty, but a hero two minutes later when he dived right to push away Junior Moraes spot-kick.
