Thursday Night Football: How to Watch and Stream Bills vs. Miami Tonight on Prime Video
Buffalo and Miami each opened the 2024 season with a win and rolled into Week 2 looking to take an early lead in the AFC East with a victory on Thursday night. In Week 1, the Bills overcame a sluggish start to defeat the Cardinals at home, with Josh Allen scoring four touchdowns — two through the air and two on the ground. The Dolphins also escaped an early deficit at home against the Jaguars, winning the game with a 52-yard field goal as time expired.
These two AFC East opponents meet on short rest tonight from 8:15 p.m. ET (5:15 p.m. PT). The game will streaming nationally on Prime Video and for free on Twitch.
