Josh Allen set the standard for himself on Sunday Night Football in Week 1 with his MVP-caliber performance against the Baltimore Ravens.

This past week, Allen did not have to be a super hero to defeat the Jets. While his numbers may have looked pedestrian in comparison to Week 1, he still played a good game and led his team to an easy victory.

Allen has dominated the Miami Dolphins throughout his career. He is 13-2 in his career against Miami and has been statistically brilliant.

In 14 regular-season starts against the Dolphins, Allen has thrown for 3,737 yards and 37 touchdowns, while throwing just eight picks. Since his rookie season, he's only thrown five interceptions in his last 12 starts against the Dolphins.

His passer rating against Miami is 108.8, while his completion percentage rests at 66.2%.

Allen has averaged 266.9 passing yards-per-game against the Dolphins, per StatMuse. He averages 2.6 touchdown passes and 7.8 yards-per-attempt. Buffalo has done an excellent job repelling the Dolphins pass rush.

Allen has also consistently delivered on Thursday night's. He is 7-0 in his career on Thursday Night Football, with his last win coming against the Dolphins just over a year ago on September 12, 2024.

The Bills' star QB has a 107.4 passer rating on Thursday night games, with 15 touchdown passes, six interceptions, and a 72.8% completion rate. Even more impressive is that six of those seven Thursday night wins have come on the road.

Bottom line is that Allen has consistently shown up in the biggest spots. He's dominated on Thursdays, and he's dominated against his division rival Dolphins. It's fair to expect a similar performance this time around.

How will Josh Allen perform in Week 3?

For this week's game against the Dolphins, Allen will throw for 275 yards and toss a pair of touchdown passes to James Cook and Khalil Shakir. He'll complete 70% of his throws and post a passer rating of 112.

He'll also add 25 yards on the ground, and a rushing touchdown, ultimately leading the Bills to a 31-16 victory over the Dolphins.
