MIAMI – The Miami Dolphins return to Hard Rock Stadium for a game against the Buffalo Bills on Thursday night, and fans are arriving early to cheer on the home team.

You’ll find Ronald Paramore in the same place at every Dolphins game.

“Section 114, row 26, seat 11,” Paramore said.

He was out before 9 a.m., preparing for the Dolphins’ prime-time showdown with the Bills.

The Bills Mafia has been a hurdle for the Finns. They have lost four straight games to Buffalo, including in the playoffs. Head coach Mike McDaniel and star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa said the path to the division title likely leads through the Bills.

“There’s a team that has won the division for years in a row that you could say de facto owns the division until someone takes it away from them,” McDaniel said.

“That’s going to stay that way until we do something about it,” Tagovailoa added. “That’s going to be the story that we can’t beat the Bills, and until we beat them and beat them consistently, none of that is going to change, and we have a chance to do that.”

Paramore said victory was a must, adding that fans would be the team’s 12th man under the lights on Thursday night.

“We need that win and we haven’t beaten the Bills in years, so that would be a stepping stone,” Paramore said. “We can do it tonight. That’s why I wore that Tua jersey to show him that he’s got support and we want to win this game and we need to win this game.”

The dominant story this week is Tyreek Hill’s arrest by Miami-Dade police before Sunday’s season opener. Paramore is confident Hill won’t let the incident distract him tonight, as he rushed for 130 yards and a touchdown on Sunday, just hours after being handcuffed.

“He just said, ‘Look, stop it. We’ll deal with it later. I’m for the team. I have to do my job and that’s exactly what he did,'” Paramore said.

The rivalry has been evenly matched since the beginning, with the Dolphins leading the record by just four games.
