Playing under pressure: The Bills get it on two fronts. There is the burden of trying to escape a loss to a winless team, and they are playing for their playoff lives and can't afford to lose to anyone. It will be interesting to see how this young team responds.
Rookie vs. rookie: It doesn't happen too often in the NFL, but two rookie QBs will be starting in Edwards and Beck, the first time it has ever happened in a game for the Dolphins. There's a chance it could be ugly and low scoring.
Tracking Taylor: DE Jason Taylor is a great player, and he has enormous pride. He hasn't quit on this horrible Miami season and he had two of Miami's six sacks last week against the Jets.
Move the chains: The Bills have not been good at establishing drives and maintaining possession of the ball. They need to start stringing some first downs together, which should in turn lead to some TDs.
Weather watch: When you're 0-12, you reside in Florida, and you're coming up to play in Buffalo in December, there's a good chance the Dolphins won't be too enthused about playing. Then again, maybe this becomes their statement game and they get rid of that goose egg in the win column.
