Bradley Chubb, 'delusional' Dolphins still believe, blow out Bills - ESPN

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — There was little reason to believe the Miami Dolphins would beat the Buffalo Bills at Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday. Considering the Bills had won 14 of the teams' previous 15 matchups, you could reasonably be labeled «delusional» if you had predicted a Dolphins win.

Buffalo cut its
