Josh Allen and the Bills will look to remain undefeated when they host the Dolphins on "Thursday Night Football."

Buffalo (2-0) followed up an improbable Week 1 victory with a smooth, wire-to-wire win over the Jets in Week 2. Running back James Cook steered the offense with a 132-yard, two-touchdown performance, and the Bills' stingy defense allowed just 154 yards of total offense, notching four sacks in a dominant showing.

That should make for a difficult test for a struggling Miami squad (0-2). As far as bright spots go, Tua Tagovailoa threw for 315 yards with just six incompletions in Sunday's loss to the Patriots. Tyreek Hill bounced back, too, reeling in six catches for 109 yards.

Here is everything that you need to know about "Thursday Night Football" this week, including TV and streaming information for Bills vs. Dolphins.
