In the second half, the Dolphins found their rhythm on offense again and Tannehill completed a series of short throws before Miller pounded the ball into the endzone for his second score of the match.
Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor produced a moment of magic to turn the game in his side's favour as he escaped the Dolphins' pass-rush and launched the ball deep for Sammy Watkins to catch in the endzone from 44 yards.
The home side confirmed their win when Williams burst away through a hole in the line and bounded past three defenders to canter into the endzone from 38 yards.
