FOLLOW LIVE: Updates, highlights from Dolphins vs. Bills wild-card game

It's been an emotional last couple of weeks for Buffalo with Damar Hamlin's health scare and the response from around the league. But the Bills earned the No. 2 seed in the AFC, finishing the regular season with a 13-3 record. 

Miami managed to get into the AFC playoff picture as the No. 7 seed, as Jason Sanders' 50-yard field goal late in the fourth quarter helped the team to a must-win in Week 18 over the Jets. With the Patriots losing to the Bills, it allowed the Dolphins to overtake their AFC rival for the last playoff spot. 

The two teams split their two-game series in the regular season, with Miami winning in Week 5 and Buffalo coming out victorious in Week 15. 

The Dolphins are turning to rookie QB Skylar Thompson for their postseason opener. Tua Tagovailoa has been ruled out as he continues to work his way back from a concussion.
