Buffalo Bill vs. Miami Dolphins Full Game | AFC East Championship | NFL 2023 Week 18

[Music] temperature in the 60s in South Florida on the final night of the NFL regular season Hard Rock stadium is the site and this game is for the championship of the AFC East hosted by the 11 and5 Miami Dolphins and their quarterback Tua tangoa taking on their rival Josh Allen and the 10 and6 Buffalo Bills on NBC's Sun Night Football thanks for having us in Mike too Chris Collinsworth Melissa Stark great one coming up here tonight the winner is the number two seed they'll play a home game and given the geography of Miami and buffalo that is a big deal Chris the reason we've arrived here is because Buffalo's hot they've won their last four how they done it I I just think that they're so dangerous right now in so many different ways defensively they're playing their best football of the Season without question but when you look at the Buffalo Bills there's only one goal and that's to win a Super Bowl and unless Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs can recapture some of the magic that they had early in this season it's going to be tough to do Miami's open the door they've split the last four games two and two and they lost in Baltimore by 37 last Sunday so how big a concern is that well Baltimore has been kicking everybody they've been playing so maybe not that big a concern but these Dolphins they've got some really key injuries now on both sides of the ball so you begin to think about what has to happen tonight and I think it's going to be the remaining Stars if you will tuula and Tyreek Hill Devon aan those guys are going to have to be extra special tonight the Dolphins haven't won this division in 15 years that's right 19 players were on the Dolphins injury report this week cornerback xaven Howard he was ruled out on Friday with a foot injury and three other key starters came into this one questionable running back Mah Raheem moer and wide receiver Jaylen waddle are both out with ankle injury safety Javon Holland he came into tonight with injuries to both of his mcl's he came out earlier to test it didn't seem to have any issues I spoke to him he said he's good to go and just now Safety Town Elliot pulled his cap in pregame warm-ups he's questionable in addition to the Dolphins injuries wide receiver Tyreek Hill left Wednesday's practice after learning that his house was on fire there was substantial damage but fortunately all of his family members and his pets were safe the fire was determined to be accidental head coach Mike McDaniel called it a scary situation and said that Tyreek has had the full support of everyone within the Dolphins organization Mike what a week Melissa thank you there you see the coaches and what's at stake if sha mcdermitt's team wins Pittsburgh goes to Western New York the dolphins go to Arrowhead next week if the Dolphins when Mike McDaniel's crew stays right here and we run this back next week the Steelers will be at the Chiefs if it's a tie tonight Buffalo's the six Miami's the two we'll get into what that means if events wen't Buffalo has won the toss deferred the option so Miami will get the ball first Tyler bass kicking off for Buffalo and Braxton beros handles the returns for Miami they met an Orchard Park week four Buffalo won 48- 20 this one with a lot more on the line final game of the season for the division title off we go from South Florida it's a Touchback Dolphins offense starts at the 25 and here they are different starting offensive line combination this year second most in the league but Miami still leads the league with 30 points per game one headline the bills Mafia has taken over South Florida all that noise you hear bills F the 25 twoa holds throws incomplete trying to get it downfield for Cedric Wilson and a flag is down in the secondary but it's going to be an ineligible man downfield for the Dolphins Alex K RF ineligible downfield offense number 68 it's a 5yd penalty first down that's the Right Guard Robert hunt yeah you get the RPO right off the bat and of course the offensive lineman they've got a block run first and when Tua pulls it down and once he starts to move that means your gu's going downfield and it's not the fault of Robert hunt here at all he doesn't know exactly what's going to happen and the hesitation just simply created the [Applause] foul line by the Bills second and 10 for Tunga Devon aan the Speedster in the back field and he's got it on the flip going the opposite direction and aan turns the corner has a first down gain of 16 to the 41 yd line Mah Hy tried the first time and couldn't bring him down so a week ago they were pitching the ball that way this time they do this and counter back to give a little misdirection to this fast moving Buffalo Bills defense and aan has been averaging eight yards per carry this year which is unbelievable and he just keeps it going you got 16 on that one the rookie out of Texas A&M carrying the load with Mo out tonight now flip it to the left that time the bills were there Greg rouso and Christian B with the corner said not coming this way and dayquon Jones finished it up with the tackle loss of [Applause] four well dayquon Jones really has become the guy that once he got back in this lineup boy everything seemed to settle down just a little bit now they really have two stars inside with Ed Oliver in his N9 and 1 half sacks but the force against the run is number 92 dayquon Jones so good to have him back injured in the game against Jacksonville officially a loss of three second and 13 empty out for two throws it complete there's Tyreek Hill for the first time tonight Taran Johnson with the tackle he'll bring up third down for the quarterback Tango VOA and since he's starting tonight think back that was the big talk before the season could he make it all the way through he's one of only nine quarterbacks to make every start this year he needs another 118 yards to end the season with the most passing yards in the league year four for the fifth overall pick out of Alabama well you know Tyreek Hill is going to get a lot of attention here and so now the question becomes who else steps up with Jaylen waddle out of the lineup Hill in motion turning up field to a look in that way to a throw in that way downfield bford undercuts it and intercepts it Christian Benford with pick number two on the season and the first statement made by this Buffalo defense 16 yd line James Cook the back for Josh Allen now into the air on first down complete to Stefan Diggs gain of four Chris take us back to the pick what happened yeah and so many times we see Tyreek Hill take off in motion and basically gain speed and then nobody can stay with him this ball was probably underthrown by seven or eight yards on the outside there and just a great play by Christian Benford who stood and ran right with Tyreek Hill Shakir their third receiver in motion second year man James Cook bouncing to the outside cook close to the first down Mark him at the 25 a yard short David long with the stops Josh Allen the quarterback back fifth consecutive year he's made every start for Buffalo he leads to the league 42 total touchdowns 15 of them on the ground but he started the week with the second most turnovers seventh overall pick is taking the bills to the playoffs now for five consecutive seasons and it's been the full Josh Allen experience this year touchdowns turnovers I tell you though he tore up the Miami Dolphins when they played the first [Applause] time 300 20 yds and five touchdowns in that week four game third and one the run it's rard forette and he's got the first down they activated forette for the second time this season he's been on the practice squad for a couple of months forette moves the chains for Buffalo you almost want to say this isn't fair wait a minute they added lter forette to the back field and what he's done now is not only give him a little pop and some size and pass protection but remember with Tom Brady back in the day with Tampa Bay he had 142 receptions with the Bucks in two years there so he is very much a weapon out of the back field 51 forhead active with latavius Murray inactive Ty Johnson's the back now spread out of first and 10 and Allen getting rid of it quick second popped to Diggs it's a game of the six minutes ago the Dolphins have started 12 different offensive lines the bills have start the same Five Guys all year one of two teams in the league to do that bake to Diggs Allen with time middle of the field it's cover tight end dton King Kade inside the 40 to the Miami 36 yd line and the bills dealing here on this opening drive a gain of 28 and the big question with Josh Allen what are you going to do are you going to pressure him are you going to coverage and right now they are going to at least attempt to bring a little pressure but when you pressure and get nothing that means there's a voided zone out there and Josh Allen very calmly picked it apart the year it has been for King K the 25th overall picking the draft out of Utah catch 67 on the season James Cook big hole for cook first down run of 14 yds as he takes it to the 21 yd line oh boy they're getting it going here Mike and it started out with a very simple couple of passes on the outside to Stefon dicks they come right back to their next threat in Dalton Ken k at the tight end and now if they get James Cook in this running game going too you have headaches for the Miami Dolphin's [Applause] defense six plays three first downs Allen left it open keeps it alive he gets it complete it's cook out of the back field they twist forward to the 15 yd line so turns into a nice game for a local product Miami Central High School about 10 mies away from the stadium here came into the day fifth in yards from scrimmage what a very good second year it's been for the second round pick out of Georgia how about the day he had against the Dallas Cowboys 221 yards from scrimmage 179 rushing and that was a wakeup call around the league try again weaving his way close to first down yards to Shan hand has two hands on him it'll be third and a yard for this Buffalo def offense Jo Brady the offensive coordinator really compared to what we saw a week ago in which they had a few gimmicky plays in the first quarter settled down to a little bit more of a shotgun approach he knows though the best approach is for Josh Allen be in the shotgun and here comes comes the old bob sled push here with Josh Allen to the left and more than the first down as Allen always tough to bring down ball comes out but they say they had stopped his progress there at the nyd line despite the disagreement of Jaylen Ramsey it's a first down for Buffalo and it's hilarious Josh Allen has done this to the left every single time forette now The Pusher in behind him and he's he didn't even push him at all but they have such power over there with Conor McGovern and Dion Dawkins on that left side and Josh Allen's almost like I don't care I'm going that way those are my guys and they haven't let me down yet I love your nickname you coined it the Buffalo Bob SLP it works cornette was The Pusher now is the carrier takes it to the 5 yd line gain of three we'll go through the specifics of the Miami defense as we go through the night but Melissa alluded to it at the top they're two top Edge rushers now out for the season losing Bradley chub last week so Vic fio the 65-year-old veteran defensive coordinator really working short-handed here tonight and this is when Josh Allen is Oho dangerous he's the guy in the red zone whether he's throwing it or running it almost impossible to stop down here get and goal the fullback gilam in motion Allen looks towards the knocks the tight end incomplete no flag CER coo the nickel who was picked on when he was playing outside corner in the first meeting between these teams comes up with the stop there yeah just a simple route off the playaction pass and let's take a look at just how much contact there was at the point of the [Applause] catch more than a little bit pulling on the right arm may have been the biggest part of restricting him from going to get it no pass interference third and goal cook is the back Dolphins bring the heat Allen Retreats and throws and he throws an interception still alive to run and finally brought down was Eli Apple staying in the end zone may have been more beneficial for field position but the bills go down the field and Allen turns it over and apple with the takeaway keeping that hand that left arm underneath one more look from this side complete full out cover zero bring everybody Josh Allen I think threw an interception that one looked good to me and it would be the Bill's first Red Zone turnover of the season so each team has turned it over still not confirmed yet as they look at every turnover in replay they'll check this one out as we step out inside of heavy range yesterday pretty calm today after the interception thrown by Allen taken by Apple Tua and then offense start from a three oh and a stumbling aan lucky to get out of there there is a flag down Nan Jones was busted in there quickly let's see if the bills got in there too quickly offside Defense number 90 was lined up with the neutral zone that's a 5yd penalty still first out on Shaq Lawson so a break and a bonus let's go back to the Allen interception Chris yeah and there's a theory that to beat the bills Josh has to beat Josh and you're going to see him looking in this direction and here's the action right here he's just going to turn and throw this ball once he feels that pressure without any real feel for what was happening with Gabe Davis down the field just can't do that that close to the goal line with points being taken off the board now from the eight same look as that earlier play that opposite side flipped H and bumped out of Bounce by Taran Johnson another flag is down aan achieved the first down but this flag is thrown in the Miami backfield holding offense number 72 it's half the distance to the goal line still first down it's the Pro Bowl left tackle on [Applause] Armstead here's Armstead out wide trying to run with aan and you'll see the Jersey tug right there it's good call you see the toss in the flag right to the spot AJ epinesa was the man who was held on the Buffalo defense by the way Von Miller a healthy scratch inactive last week is active did not play on that first Buffalo drop the two flags give you the rare first and [Applause] nine Jeff Wilson's now the back he's heading out and two it throws under run River free crash to the 23 yd line so people will have to step up on the absence of jayen Wad and the fourth year man from Washington state with the grab there just a terrific rout outside low snap Tua handled it under pressure immediately and just calmly raised up and found that slant to Craycraft and that was the question Mike coming into this game who would it be who could take some pressure off of Tyreek Hill Because unless you're running the ball well and at least and other guys are stepping up to make plays in the passing game you can't get it to him with the fake now throws to that open space there's Tyreek Hill taken off the cheetah pulled down right around the 42 yd line gain of almost 20 yds on their connection and here they're going to come right back to that fake toss play on the outside and then Tyreek is just going to drive down the field so they achieved a little balance by getting cracraft open on the other side you have to just divert their attention nicely done that time by the [Applause] Dolphins 41 a lot of his pack into h he accelerates so quickly another first down on the ground for the rookie out of A&M Mike it's like every play has been some version of this pistol misdirection and they knew the bills would be pumped up right division title on the line and yet they're doing exactly what they were able to do a week ago which is get outside with the great speed of aan and in order for them to begin to bring some of the safeties down for the Buffalo Bills they always play two deep safeties back here in order for them to come down you have to get backed running conv benal toss to aan here just a yard or so against this Buffalo defense this Buffalo defense and look at the ranks this year top five in the league Point sacks and takeways only Buffalo and Baltimore twoa couldn't sling it on the side trying to get it open to his tight end Julian Hill leaked out Leonard Floyd was in his face and gave him no space [Applause] well these two head coaches going at it right one's the play caller the other's the play caller on defense and Sean McDermot you know Leslie Frasier not the coordinator right now they were good last year he just had an idea of how to make it a little bit better and they love this third down and eight with a good pass rush and pressure now on two it to deliver I love this match up of these two guys matching Wiz calling plays Von Miller in the game for the first time to a fire sideline for Tyreek Hill and he's ruled out of bounds couldn't get the feet down it's incomplete it'll bring up fourth down yeah I think you're going to have to punt a football away here and you know the hard part is really with both of these offenses you don't have confidence that you could stop them whether they start on the 10 or the 50 and so Josh Allen's going to get a chance to drive the length of the field one more time Deontay Hardy back deep don't see Jake badly much in these games for the Dolphins his 48 punts second fewest any team in the league drift over make that fair catch right around the 10 yd line fors here Fort Lauderdale in Miami Bills taking over their own 11 second Drive pressure picked up Allen's got time shot down field digs is wide open but he couldn't hit him oh Stefan had a couple of steps and was looking for a house call 13 and 14 couldn't get it whoa jayen Ram I don't know what this little wiggle move was here but it froze Jaylen Ramsey who was looking to pick 61 and take it to other way and oh boy that was really lucky right there and this is what's been happening though for whatever reason Josh Allen and Steph dicks just have not found those big plays that they have been really famous for over the last few years Shakir nice catch good block Shakir down the sideline and Kum Shakir at his terrific speed is into dolphin's territory with a big play oh boy it's a problem when you go slot Blitz and now you've just got two guys on that half of the field here's a block those two guys run into each other and running down the sideline is Shakir so once again trying to distribute the ball to as many people as they can to create the one-on-one opportunities for Diggs outside and here they are again with Jaylen Ramsey and dig down here at the bottom of the screen 46 on the game Ty Johnson to the right he's got a good first down run against this Miami defense tonight he's their signal caller inside he has not played yet deshun Elliott who Melissa told you had that pregame C strain has been out there most every snap from Miami so far after the gain of five Here Comes pressure again Allan getting rid of it incomplete for k k there was Elliot trying to chase him as Allen was pressured I tell you it looks like Miami has made up their mind the only way they're going to win this game is to come and get Josh Allen it has been the pressure tonight that has had an effect on him and Josh has thrown a couple of little fadeaways and missed passes and had the one interception against the pressure so maybe the game plan has been laid out now for the Miami Dolphins on defense no pressure here though 6 DBS Duke Riley the linebackers at the top of the screen in coverage designed right Allen not going to get there good play up by Christian Wilkins Captain who's had a career best eight sack season big stop there fourth down from the 35 fourth and about two and probably going forward here but Christian Wilkins you hit on an eight sack Zack sealer on the other side with a career best n and a half sacks so despite the fact that they're missing star players on the outside and Bradley chub and Jaylen Phillips those guys inside have become [Applause] Stars the Dig's coming back there he had a carry last week it's Fourth and two he releases he doesn't even get out F GLE took him away Josh flips it towards the end zone to Davis intercepted a second End Zone interception Deshawn Elliot comes away with this one [Applause] here's the first look he had a flat route right out here that he chose not to take it was open that's your first down right there he had the natural pick and now Josh is going to throw his third fadeaway jumper wildly down into the end zone and you go okay they actually maybe gain a little bit on fourth down right and take a shot with that but it has been one of those kind of start so far for Josh Allen where he is just going to let it fly again Davis he hit his own foot knocked himself down it wasn't even Tangled feet with Eli apple apple tried to take out that first interception because he had space and ended up backing them up that time of course it's so easy to say from up here let that go so you get the ball out round the 35 instead it's the pick and here H was looking to throw and the Buffalo defense strung him out at the end of a very eventful Monday night crew will have the Monday night playoff game on ESPN at ABC we're going to give you the full playoff schedule before we head out of here tonight heading forward is Jeff Wilson to the 24 yd line on that carry for you stat freaks the last play of that quarter was ruled a sack as the running back was looking to throw Terrell doson got the sack for Buffalo and the Miami Dolphins now are trying to establish that running game and they really feel like that they made some progress despite the big blowout loss a week ago they felt like this offensive line provve themselves that they could come off the ball and deliver a blow and as long as the bills stay too deep they're going to keep running 3D five here two of throws it is complete for the first down just across the 30 yd line Braxton baros got to the sticks and we'll move the sticks for Miami 2.3 seconds or less that is the game right there for Tu a Tunga byoa anytime he's getting that ball out of his hands quickly this offense moves on the other side Josh Allen is just the opposite some of his biggest plays have always come when he has time to scramble and run around so you're going to see Tu trying to get the ball out on time and neutralize this [Applause] Rush Oh HP trying to turn the corner H cannot do it Greg Russo for Miami Hurricane over there to help make the stop another first down loss with doson the other man to help him you know Russo only has five sacks on the year but 11 tackles for loss look at that guy you go how would you block that out there and they tried to not block him and just have him come slam down hard inside but Russo is some athlete and kind of got away right right there good thing doson didn't leave with that helmet right Russo had a bunch of sacks when he played in the stadium as a cane to the you great for Miami K back in this Buffalo defense now getting really aggressive coming after aan on these runs it was Bernard and Johnson the linebacker and the nickel Corner set up third down yeah and here's where Tua has to be a little careful probably their favorite play is what they call a little drift rout right in the middle of the field it's not really a post it's just sort of a seam and they sort of settle down inside there and if they can get it in between the safeties that's where they generally like to throw that route Jeff looks in the back third and 14 bills brings four TOA fires High to brought in across Midfield by Tyreek Hill catch three on the night first down miam that's the drift route right there you can almost bet money on it all they want to do is get right inside that safety right there throw it and Tua has all the guts in the world goes up and gets it the timing that they have on that play is just impeccable it's really exciting to watch him executed 23 on that one Tyreek has 49 receiving yards on the night toss to Jeff Wilson and Spence and Wilson takes it to the 37 yd line gain of 13 and the Pro Bowl fullback Alec inold he'll lead the way do you remember Jeff Wilson he was in San Francisco and then he came over here he had over a th000 yards of total offense and one thing you don't want to do is take a guy like Devon aan and just wear him out I mean we have the playoffs to come here right this is important but you also want to have him so with Raheem moard out in the incredible year that he's had going to see a lot tonight of Jeff Wilson too 37 here he goes to the right they'll gain about four yards you brought it up so let me ask you that question both teams are in the playoffs but obviously the winner gets the two seed and the home game it adds to this it's really important for both of these teams to get that playoff game because of the geography of the weather in Buffalo and Miami well just look at their records I think both of them in their respective home stadium seven and one right it says a lot and buffalo nobody wants to go up there and try and beat them up there all of the Bengal did it a season ago but for the Miami Dolphins it's all about speed and good weather and let's go and Tua is looking more and more comfortable in this game the 33 to a roll left nobody there he takes off that's the first down and slides down as Taran Johnson was chasing him tangle by low who does not run much 34 times this year gets one there there are just so many times these guys once you begin to beat them to the outside which is what happens watch how fast those linebackers react and now just a naked bootleg out the other way and so far the Dolphins have been Dynamic tonight because of the misdirection action almost from the first play of the game just look like you're going one way go the other fifth to a rushing first down of the Season Jeff Wilson inside going no way Taran Johnson but that's the magic of what this offense is because if you take a misstep then you're just you can't catch up so much speed on this Miami team here's similar look with that pitch to the right Wilson inside the 10 hen touchdown Devon H uses that speed on the pitch and Miami scores first here we go little fake and go and then watch some of the blocking on the outside here Durham Smite known more maybe for his receiving but I tell you it has been amazing to watch ton Anan all season long this guy is becoming a superstar in the National Football League and all we've done all year is talk about moer who's had a career year as well Jason Sanders adds the extra point all we talk about is Tyreek and all the passing yards and Tua it's because the bills were a slight favorite coming into this game even though we're in Miami's home stadium the Dolphins on the board first with an 80 yd drive for touchdown and on the Touchback the bills will take over at their own 25 yd line and we were just talking in the break about what this Miami offense was 70 points against Denver all the AR of Tyreek Hill but at the foundation they've really grown as the year has gone on on the ground and it's the very basis of what they do think of the San Francisco 49ers where this system sort of came from and Mike McDaniel he was the running game coach for the 49ers and now you're starting to see a belief in this offensive line and the way they're coming off the ball if they can run it it forces the bills to come up now some of those big pass plays that Tyreek Hill down the hit field are going to work and first down he's looking deep it was covered fires a second look what a strike to Dawson KN complete the bills have had their own bunch of big plays tonight that one again is 17 to the 42 how about that play by Josh Allen right there a little pump fake to the flat Defender comes up and he drills it right in behind in that area right there he going to pump fake it out there and then go get it right behind him well done there by Josh Allen so couple interceptions one of them actually good play he gained about 15 yards on that fourth and two what the heck throw it up there the first one not so good movement here by Buffalo create a first and 15 all start offense number 88 it's a 5yd penalty still first down weissa start Mike very different reactions on Miami sideline to the Dolphins two interceptions by their defense Eli Apple definitely felt like he could have should have gotten more yards on his interception return came over reenacting it laughing said I just got too excited and then on the second one desan Elliott all business sat on the bench got a few high fives but immediately called for the heating pad for that left cap that he pulled in pregame warmup yeah such a question if he was even going to play Javon Holland the other safety showed up on the injury report yesterday his knees bothering him as you told us pregame so a lot of safety concern with injuries that's pass complete to the another tight end Dalton concade and a little too tight end look for the Bills starting to develop both of them healthy Gabe Davis getting checked out first on the table and now testing his leg well that's not what you want to see heading into the playoffs here and I I get the feeling that Sean mcder said all right let's go back to how we started the game that time both his better receivers inside very short routes let's get Josh settled down a little bit here let's get a couple what completions second and eight Allen going to take off here Josh gets to the outside and gets the first down as he's inside of Midfield to the 46 yd line he does that so often and so well well we've seen some of the dynamic throws over the years but he can really just embarrass you running the football you know the the two guys and they're so different it's hard to compare them but Lamar Jackson can keep plays alive and create big plays down the field cuz he's so quick and Josh Allen creates the same way but because you can't tackle him he's too [Applause] pit inside run here with cook for a couple of yards it it it's one of those interesting things to try to balance the scales of Justice if if you will you want Josh Allen to be that Dynamic go win the championship but sometimes you don't want him to try to play Hero ball it's a fine line to find the in between spot absolutely that's exactly right there's Dodson going into the locker room so injuries definitely becoming a factor here but Josh Allen A lot of times will tell his offensive coordinator Joe Brady I need something to get me going call a couple of runs so he likes it [Applause] too second and seven Miami bringing the pressure again alen Fade Away fling digs down there and ston digs brings it in inside the 10 yd line did he really digs for a gain of 36 well here's a fadea away jumper that worked out all right again a big pressure coming he just throws it up in the air what a play look at all the hand fighting here with Eli apple on the outside digs that's a catch got two hands tight on it I know it hits The Grass there a little bit but that thing did not move first and goal again for Buffalo trying to tie the game cook stumbles regains his balance gains about a yard maybe two as we have five minutes in this fast moving first half and Mike just to go back to that throw by Josh Allen there's about three or four guys in this league that could fade away from a deep throw like that to somebody who can run like Stefon Diggs and plant this thing right on the money and just give his guy a chance that's what Diggs did to the Miami Dolphins in that first matchup just keep throwing it to him and he makes plays Davis out trench sherfield is in as the third wide receiver F the give over the top deflect into the air sherfield dragged his feet touchdown ruled a touchdown we'll have to check if he kept it secure but he was looking at it like a slly ball in the air dragging his feet and for now it's a touchdown down Tavel can't believe it let's look at these replays Andrew binkle got his hand on the ball and that catch and feet down that is a touchdown wow this is going to be one great night tonight you can feel it happening already ey it dragging the toes got them both down and with the touchdown Scott halers the back judge was right there right on it made a great call on a great catch and the game is tied with the extra point from Tyler bass where the bills Mafia takeover was present throughout you can head out and go for a walk in a run down by the beach this week oh yeah I got a lot of comment yeah you did it's great to see the fans out there touch back here so Miami is going to take it over the 25 and Chris Here Comes Tyreek Hill watching his numbers tonight three catches 49 yards it slides him up on the alltime list he is eighth in terms of yards in a season he was hoping for that 2,000 number but missed one game probably keeping him from getting close to that no matter what no matter the number of a games in a season the 16 he's played this year pretty special and you never know you never know with him 234 or so yards you never know keeping l and the update as the night goes on here's AJ touchdown last time and he keeps going for a gain of 10 and a first down Taran Johnson was holding on as was balen Spectre who's in at linebacker after the Dodson injury same thing same play they're just wearing this thing out right they're making you believe it's going that way and then just getting him in Space the other way and the one thing if you want to really get aan riled up tell him he's an outside Runner and another injury on that play for the Buffalo defense rul Douglas the starting cornerback being looked at so the injury to the corner rul Douglas he was helped off as we have a flag before this one it was marked just short of the first down so it was second and a half yard before this flag there's Douglas walking with the athletic training staff Defense number 92 5yd penalty results on a first down and Melissa has more on other injuries yes Mike on the bills offense wide receiver Gabe Davis athletic training staff was looking at his left knee area he was very frustrated before heading to the locker room he is questionable with a knee injury on defense linebacker Tyrell Dodson spent about 5 minutes in the medical tent before he headed to the locker room he's questionable the shoulder and of course we'll keep an eye on rul Douglas down here and get you an update as soon as we have it man so a lot of injuries there Melissa for this Buffalo team that has come through a lot without travius their corner and Matt Milano their linebacker for most of this season one by Wilson brought down by Terell Bernard who's done such a good job in the middle of this defense after Milano got hurt and there is Matt who fractured his right leg and knee in the game in London against Jacksonville but we have to talk now a little bit about the secondary of the Buffalo Bills remember they made a trade for rul Douglas and since that time in eight games he has four interceptions and was the AFC defensive player of the week last week this guy has been phenomenal so now can Tyreek begin to get it going to on the fake great job of ball handling and completing it to Durham SMI for the first down into bills territory at the 44 yd line so now they're starting to say all right we're beginning to sell you on our running game there you go now go ahead and step up little pump fake to Tyreek on the outside and find smite in the middle so that we're starting to see the complimentary plays now to this run [Applause] game 250 till the half Wilson good job inside Teran Johnson who's been very active in the Run game gets pushed back on that one gain of seven on first down and Chris you talked about the Run game and the effectiveness last week against Baltimore 100 rushing yards already for Miami tonight but but watch this offensive line right we have got there's rahee moard over on the outside and that guy has had a phenomenal year this year um almost 5 yards a carry for him and this is one of his Worst Years so I mean it's unbelievable what they've been doing running the football here looks him inside balen Spectre in his second year out of Clemson it's been a lot of special teams play for Spectre he makes that stop as we get to the two-minute warning return to Detroit to take on the lions in a wild card game when will that game be Ahmed has all the answers coming up at half time third and three for Miami and tongoa two it fires the flag down sand Wilson's got it he's inside the 15 yd line Wilson working on Dane Jackson as the injury to rul Douglas impacts the secondary before the pass holding Defense number 30 that penalty's declined first down and it was on [Applause] Jackson little short yardage route here just watch the In-N-Out of this coverage and as you saw Wilson start to break away a little grab of the jersey and you knew it was coming right danne Jackson comes in part of the reason they made the trade for R Douglas was they weren't satisfied with their corners and immediately now the Dolphins going to work Jackson's only played 11 snaps of Defense the last five weeks WIS in the inside run for a yard to the 11 yd line sha mcder and the bills will take a timeout 149 remaining until halftime and we'll be back in 30 seconds after this from AWS Chris I mentioned how few snaps danne Jackson has played Spectre who we see out there at linebacker he's played five snaps at defense all year so in this try to win the division game a lot of backups trying to get it done for buffalo getting thin Miami out quick for second and n two against it to Tyreek underneath with a blocker Hill down at the three yd line and a flag comes down let's see if that was something to do with the block that was thrown may have had a guy downfield again ineligible downfield [Applause] further conversation here with Alex Kemp and Rusty Baines the line judge correction there is no foul for in eligible Battlefield the result of the play is Miami's ball at the two yd line very close to the first down let's looking at it again there it is right there is the question you're going to see Tyreek the ball will be caught behind the line of [Applause] scrimmage very close there as hunt was releasing downfield again so it's going to be short it was a timeout taken by Buffalo to stop it with 143 left it was just short of the first down so we have third and a yard coming up yeah uh can we go to Terry and just ask for a clarification on that yes exactly his whole his whole body has to be on his his right foot was still within a yard when the pass was released so that was a good pickup this is not a foul they did get help from replay replay can do that in this case so it is not a foul for an eligible downfield as you watch Hill get out for the reception remember that red line the line of scrimmage the white line is that one-yard belt for the lineman before they're illegally downfield thank you Terry for the clarification third and a yard for Tua s the tight end in motion tle by lower throws touchdown Tyreek Hill in front of Benford puts Miami back in front and he sticks the landing on the outside working against their best now remaining Christian Benford and no nobody wants to try and cover this guy one-on-one and nobody wants to try and stay with him doing flips and back flips and everything in the end zone he came out here to play he had a drop in that one last week and I thought all week he was going to be fired up for this one and he has it Sanders has the extra point 143 left Miami takes the lead you reference late second quarter in the Baltimore game line they're going to need some Josh Allen magic and may be able to go back to back here the bills have one timeout and get the ball to start the second half after a slow start gra it's starting to turn around it's the Josh Allen experience we've seen it before first one paid away interception by Eli Apple this was on Fourth and two why not throw it up probably gained 15 yards or so there but then the scramble happened we also saw the Deep shot on the fadeaway jumper the ston digs which led to this off the helmet or hand or whatever it was of Van GLE in for the touchdown and so a minute 43 left in the half who knows what's going to happen on this drive 25 Allen throws sherfield gets it to gain of six sherfield caught that touchdown it's his first touchdown of the year his first touchdown since he was a Miami Dolphin this is where he played last season get Gabe Davis out L more snaps for sherfield he's played a lot this season Russian for four picked up as Allen rolls fires and Stefan digs stepp it up now with a catch the 41 yd line it's a first down as Douglas heads back to the locker room that's a big loss right there it really is rul Douglas just gave this defense a spark and I'm sure Sean mcder sitting over there going oh now we're back to the future here again on our cornerback position B say Douglas is questionable to return with the knee injury 116 and one timeout this is when the Buffalo Bills could be so dangerous they spread it out and Josh Allen is their run [Applause] option now flush he's chased and throws it towards concade an incomplete doing the chasing was Jerome Baker and David long linebackers Baker back in the lineup missed the last four games after a knee injury against Washington it's nice have that veteran presence back in there one more time though with Jerome Baker and they wanted to get Baker a little experience out there with David long just to get him ready for the playoffs I don't think they wanted his first game back to be in the playoffs so there he is been practicing all week and he is the leader of that defensive front see the brace on the left knee had an MCL screen second and 10 for Josh for Net's the back underneath little Shakir by David long here secures at the 47 yd line and stopped here with a timeout with 104 to go Buffalo takes its last one before third down we're back in 30 seconds again Cleveland and Houston the 45 is set again the schedule announced at halftime third and five Allen stepp it up take it off and Josh Allen slides down first down at the 40 no timeouts inside of a minute [Applause] so hard to defend you get all those receivers on the field and there just isn't enough Defenders to stop Allen's runs let's get it out quick and it's caught by D keeps it inside and Stefon digs takes off gain of 17 to the 23 see if they clock it with 35 seconds left ad dolphin slow to get up was injured on that play now running back to the corner going to keep it going with 25 left and Allen feeling it de it gets it outside DOL K the yard and out of bounds with 21 seconds remaining do you get the feeling that Josh Allen is just more comfortable like this yes right I mean in in the biggest moments and we saw him in that Kansas City Chiefs game just going up and down the field with Gabe Davis and all of that but sometimes it gets him out of his own mind I and he just sort of sits in there reads the defenses runs around a little bit and the defense gets back on their [Applause] heels the previous plays under review I believe was the announcement from Alex Kemp ball marked at the 23 yd line was a pass to the side to Dalton con un clear if it's possession or does he go out of bounds again Buffalo's out of timeouts with this official review here's K Cade one second foot is down I can see some green in between there question is does the toe end up out of bounds it's probably what the closer inspection looks being taken by the replay booth and back in New York okay the call stands D King Kate's toe is very close to the sideline and it actually comes down chrisan make a good point here with his toe yeah once he kind of arches up on it then it's out but we're talking about a foot yeah that player's one foot all right so second that Stefan Diggs has been animated here in the break he really wants the ball Allen on second down stepping up ripping towards the end zone it's cookie couldn't hang on cook had Nick Needum beat in coverage and he couldn't bring again his fifth touchdown catch of the Year whoa Baby James Cook who tore up the Cowboys a pretty easy one there and he just can't hang on to it and so many times it has been that kind of year for Josh Allen either he'll miss one somebody will drop one they'll be a sack Chris they made a late change here with Personnel play clock is running down quick goes to the sideline after his sixth drop of the year and Miami wants to get their defense set but helps Buffalo that was kind of going quick there with the Miami called timeout there first with 15 seconds to go so you have two matchups with the team we go back you watch the first matchup and that was a frenetic Wild start two scores each on the first couple of drives this has been equally as frenetic if not as high scoring a first half I love watching the Buffalo Bills play when they get in this mode right here right because you never know what's going to happen out there and and while we've seen a very disciplined approach from Tua and the Miami Dolphins Mike MC Danel on the other side it just feels like when Josh gets in this mode he's happy he's creative he's like a kid on the on the schoolyard and the only guy not happy right now I think is Stefon dicks he wants the football right here they dropped eight rushed three no timeouts Buffalo so an underneath completion could be trouble going try to get the first down and they will work the sideline to the 11 yd line with Deontay Hardy so they'll take the yardage there at 11 seconds left yeah and plenty of time to take your shots here into the end zone so to looked like he was wondering if uh that was the right move defensively yeah you know now you've got these are normal plays from the 10 yd line from the 20 yd line that's a little tougher so they gave up a free shot now at the end zone time out Miami take another one to set the defense here Ty Johnson has come in as the back for Buffalo again if Miami wins tonight we rck this game here next weekend Buffalo comes right back down and Pittsburgh goes to Kansas City if Buffalo wins this game the Steelers go to Orchard Park and the Dolphins will go to Kansas City of note if the Bills win and the games are in Buffalo and in Kansas City Peak ahead in the weather forecast and buffalo it's in the 20s with snow on and off for a couple of days in Kansas City they're expecting a real cold snap with a snowstorm before it single digit temperatures so we're going to Buffalo for better weather is that what you're telling me kind of that could be what happens it's a lot on the line with these teams and the title Allen slings it inside stop secort of the goal line they're not going to get a playoff and the half will come to an end Ty Johnson has stopped just short Eli apple and Jerome Baker were [Applause] there and much like happened in the Bill's favor in the Sunday night game against the Giants in Orchard Park the clock runs out without being able to get a playoff look down the line not even close unbelievable knew they wanted to throw it quickly to maybe get off two plays here's Melissa start Sean denyed in the end zone right there what happened on that oh it can't be it can't be thrown in in the field of play it's got to be thrown in the end zone an uneven first half from Josh Allen what's your message to him in the locker room well we just got to be smart um take what they're giving us he was doing that early got a little bit um aggressive too aggressive at times right there in the Red Zone thanks Sean thank you Willis appreciate the honesty with sha mcder you know exactly what the message is going to be bills get it to start the second half Toyota half time and that playoff schedule Ahmed fed's got all of that for you quite a half here [Music] ammed B is for this group big accomplishment if they can do it against the team that has run the division Buffalo has won the last three years touch back there a moment ago Melissa with the dolphins head coach Mike you're trying to win in the division for the first time since 2008 you've got 30 minutes left what does your team need to do to come out on top well it's 0 right now I think um both line of scrimmages need need to continue to perform um we need to take care of the ball and finish the game the way we started thanks Mike mik Daniels team I love him that's it did you see that's it to Stefan Diggs who was very frustrated at the end of that half with eight yards on that first yourself a shot at least at a field goal it has been the bills struggling and beating the bills so far look with the inside run here Chris he's going to be close to that first down try to bounce it to get it and did not Zack sealer who's been that pair inside with Christian Wilkins the stop to force third and short but I know sha mcder and what he probably said to his guys at halftime was something like guys can we do anything else wrong in the first half can we screw anything else up any worse than what we did and we've got the ball and it's a one- score game come on let's go Bob slip up forette pushing with Allen and Josh Allen gets the first down they never bring him down as they get to the 35 yd line he lost his tush push it's the SLP not the C I just want to get you there I'm trying to help you get there no I can't get it Olympics either forette the carry for 5 y so why forette here Chris and what do you think he could provide to this team if he's a part of the playoff roster well we saw it right in Tampa and Tom Brady from the beginning said give me Leonard forette the sort of the it came up he's available what do you think Tom would you like to do it with Leonard forette he's like that dude can catch are you kidding me I know he can block and I know he can run but he can catch and Brady threw him a lot of balls down so I would expect to see that if not here tonight maybe as the playoff start Javon Howen out on the field for Miami for the moment there safety cook on the edge cuts it back inside has a first down to the 47 yd line the safety combo is Deshawn Elliott and Brandon Jones for the moment right now and Andrew van GLE is down for myami and they have already lost a couple of edge players and Van GLE has stepped into that role without Jaylen Phillips and Bradley chub and that would be a huge injury for the Dolphins they're checking on Van GLE right now Wisconsin limping off we mention all the injuries to the edge players and down to Melvin Ingram Emanuel LBA and Cameron good as the edge players for Miami the defense steps up there from the inside Christian Wilkins the stop on James Cook [Music] I don't know what the Miami Dolphins are going to do they have lost so much of their pressure on the edge Jaylen Phillips Bradley chub already out and now you're going to take Andrew van GLE whose sheer hustle and presence alone out there adds energy to this defense we're seeing some of the inside guys especially Christian Wilkins play really well so far in this one so they're going to have to hold [Applause] up nine for Josh Allen he'll throw to Dalton Cade tackle there to dolphin's territory at the 48 yd line as Jerome Baker the linebacker coming back from injury was over there and I mentioned Javon Holland the safety out for Buffalo Gabe Davis is out of uniform on the sideline he injured his knee in the first half Ty Johnson's being looked at as well after that tackle at the end of the half there's Davis done for the night so a ton of injury for two teams have to turn around play a playoff game next weekend two best receivers at the top of the screen and here comes the pressure and now Josh Allen knows it too here come the Dolphins Allen got away from one couldn't get away from the second and he's brought down and that is the veteran Melvin Ingram playing just his third game with the dolphins gets in there for the sack and forces the punt sometimes when you have young players in there they don't know to take away the inside first and just a free runner right up the gut there at Josh Allen this has been a problem that allout Blitz has been working for the Miami Dolphins and Ingram has the most sacks tied for the most sacks of anyone against Josh Allen 5 and a half now getting that one veteran Sam Martin to kick it away try to angle it away bario fair catch at the 15 yd lineon hn with track speed we have seen it on display throughout the year at a 200 plus yard game against the Broncos for his breakout event of the Season here he is in space and he'll gain about four yards as balum Spectre is there spectre's in because of the injury to Tyrell Dodson no R Douglas out there to start this half Dane Jackson playing corner for Buffalo you know Mike the other thing that I found interesting here is that we are seeing not only the Buffalo Bills having to substitute people in but this offensive line for the Miami Dolphins is really starting to become a factor in more of these games as we go down and they've got two backups in there at Center and left guard twoa pulls it look towards Tyreek comes down to the tight end Julian Hill who got popped by Jordan puyer second leading tackler on this team that vet is always around it well any time you see number 21 on the field put your head on a swivel because plays like this happen Jordan pyer we think of him almost mostly As the guy who comes down in the Run game if they need help down there he only weighs 190 lbs and he hits like a tank third and three for tungo valo they bringing four two complete peros let's check this spot he reached out at the end that spot is short of the first down and it'll be fourth [Applause] down the fourth and a half yard as they all look at Mike McDaniel and now they look at the punt unit come on for Miami it's just a heck of a play right there by Dane Jackson this is an open field tackle you have no wiggle room at all he has to go backwards and he does just far enough that sort of spin to get him away from the first down marker was enough Big Time play really good call by the line judge there so Jake Bailey to kick it away for the Dolphins give away it's not the best but the bounce will make it a much better kick just over 50 yards 51 sweet look there he taste to South Florida as James Cook his hometown short run of just one there when it's Bill's offense against dolphin's defense it's Joe Brady against Vic fangio Joe Brady success at LSU took them to the National Championship was an offensive coordinator in Carolina fangio a defensive coordinator for his sixth team Chris when Vic fangio became a defensive coordinator for the first time Joe Brady was 5 years old is that right so he's certainly forgotten more than most over the years there is the boss these guys match you wits calling the signals when the Dolphins have the ball second and N little pressure from fangio's defense is picked up and Allen in traffic CAU by the former dolphin sherfield first down at the 37 yd line I tell you there's starting to be some matchups on the outside that are a lot of fun Jaylen Ramsey going against Stefon Diggs anytime there's man coverage and for Vic fangio the success he's had on Def defense tonight has been bringing pressure but you bring pressure now you have to win and so ramsy against Diggs is going to be a big part of the show the rest of the way BS targeted seven times as six catches play action Allen come underneath the flag is down Shakir on the Move he's got it Shakir is by the mark for the first down but the bills offense heads down walking backwards thinking this may be coming back holding off Defense number 88 it's a 10yd penalty still first down on the tight end Dawson Kno now I couldn't tell if he slipped but he sort of went down and as he did was going to drag I think that's exactly what happened and then just trying to protect his quarterback decided to grab on and pull Ingram down but it's been that kind of night tonight for Shawn mcder right I mean just when you think you're getting something going you make a big mistake was a bit of bit like the bill season every time you think they were going they made some mistakes lost games that surprised you then finally pulled it together won the last four to have a chance at the title tonight Allen flush some space now pump and he's able to get away from Zack sealer and take it out to the 40 yd line the strength and the speed of Josh Allen for 13 yds on the ground there well a couple of things here one we've seen Josh Allen do this so I'm not going to go crazy with that but these defensive linemen now remember the Dolphins have very few people to rush the passes and you chase them around like this a couple of times you saw on the end of that it was Christian Wilkins who hustled all the way across the field to make the hit but they're going to wear down quickly here in the second half hammering good 53 is in the game bottom of the screen rushing the pass Allen completes it to Shaquille Eli Apple The Tackle Eli apple is one of those guys that people just love to sort of say he hasn't been helping us all that much but without Eli Apple this year especially with the entries they've had to Ramsey and they've had on the other side to xaven Howard who really have only played three or four games together they would be in a real spot playing well tonight and your first round pick of the Giants who's with the Bengals the last two years third and three Allen throwing complete for the first down to K [Applause] Cade catch number five of the game for Dalton King Kan he's got the most of a Bill's tight end in one season how about Dalton K Kate we had a chance to visit with him Mike how did he uh cut his teeth in football flag football black football can you believe that he played in ninth grade and said ah they hit me too many times we're not going to do that anymore and then he goes to flag football falls in love with it comes back and it's now playing tight end in the National Football I didn't James cook for two you mentioned it dalon King Kan he had a circuitous route didn't get a lot of attention cuz he was playing other sports every sport including basketball when went to high school in Nevada and then he only played his freshman year on the freshman team and then his senior year he didn't play varsity football his sophomore junior year not a lot of offers went to the University of San Diego walked on was terrific there then went to Utah played three years in Kyle winningham's terrific program and he told us got him ready to come in with the bills and catch over 70 passes as a rookie against the blitz it's complete it's conade again very close to a first down at the 35 Mark just shy but Josh Allen handling the pressure now there you go Josh Allen that's the way you do it you want to bring the house against me I'll find D K Kate I'll find step on digs get it out of my hand and make you pay C is out the Bob slit Pusher it's a first down cook was looking over the side like you want me to do this where's forette all right I'll do it they got it first down buffalo well they got tryouts going on now let's go back here's K Kade right here and he just understands that anytime they're bringing that much pressure just break it off give my quarterback somewhere to throw the ball and I'm not going to compare him to Travis Kelce Travis Kel's Hall of Famer and all that kind of stuff and this a young player that style of player though is exactly what they have in dton K K he understands defenses and helps his quarterback tackled Dawkins py forette coming around to the right from the 31 yd line Chris you talked about the defense of the Dolphins and the injuries that they're dealing with getting worn down Miami's only run three plays here in the third quarter Buffalo has had it for most of this Frame trying to score in tie the game I mean Melvin Ingram wasn't even here a month ago and all of a sudden now he's going to be asked to play this entire back half Emanuel ogba another guy who's really just been sort of a pass rush specialist now he's going to have to play in run situations as well so I wouldn't even be surprised if the bills went to a bit of a hurry up offense to try and exacerbate that good call Second and seven Allen it's in the middle open his sh here inside the 20 to the 19 yd line buffalo in the Red Zone with a minute and a half to go but for all the impact that these interior defensive linemen were having early in the game Watch Josh on this one just stand there and look around and if you're going to let Josh Allen do that and get comfortable that's probably the key to the whole thing and when you talk to Joe Brady he said with Josh Allen if you can just get him into a rhythm great things start to have 10 in the 18th hook on the toss to the left strung out and brought down great play from the safety spot by Brandon Jones he sniffed it and he brought him down for a loss Welly you talk about speed on the offensive side and the factor it can bring there here he is right here watch the Speed because the offensive lineman Dion Dawkins a pro bowler one of the best in all of football simply could not run him down buffalo has been very good in the Red Zone this year this is their fourth trip tonight and obviously they've only scored once second and 13 back out of the red zone now as Allen runs and throws on the run towards sherfield and incomplete as Josh Allen was walking that tight rope of the line of scrimmage no question my guys went right to the official let's take a look if anything is behind oh yeah Mike we should have never even brought it up he's way behind there saw sherfield there just couldn't layer it to Eli Apple in coverage and get a first down at the 8 yd line third and 13 your two best receivers on the inside position here and here Miami brings four Allen in trouble boss the football he's taken away from him Christian Wilkins going in for the sack came in and took it away Buffalo's turned it over again the third time tonight so here's what's happening out here they have gotten the bills of turn that way creating a one-on-one right there between Christian Wilkins their best interior pass rusher going against the rookie Osiris Torrance the isolation is what's creating the Havoc now for Josh alen what a Play What a play triple play the sack the forced fumble the fumble recovery and Allen has turned it over for the third time tonight and almost every time when they're on the verge of scoring points four trips to the Red Zone one score Tua to the window to Hill hangs on takes the hit at the 42 yd line as this third quarter comes to an end much like the first quarter lots of action no points score 14 teams in the tournament are deciding match ups some seeds here that's a ton arm Armstead false start to start the quarter false start offense number seven 72 it's a 5yd penalty and it's still first down and a reset for what is at stake in these final 15 minutes if the Bills win Pittsburg goes to Buffalo on Sunday the Dolphins will go to Kansas City that game streaming exclusively on peacock on Saturday night if the Dolphins win it's rerun this back here in the early window on Sunday afternoon on CBS and we'll have the Steelers and Chiefs as our exclusive streaming on peacock game in prime time on Saturday night and on Sunday night we'll be in Detroit for the Rams and the L from the 37 Tua throws Tyreek Hill with another catch he's got it just shy of the first down at the 48 to be marked at the 49 yd line as Hill gets his seven and N here's what the running game does for you they go play action watch these guys step up and then the drift route there you go just right inside it's a heck of a catch let's double check and make sure that Tyreek got that [Applause] one was a point oh that ball slides on the back end there a little bit and they're going to challenge it yeah that last look you saw he had his hands on it but that slides on the ground and Shan mcdermit gets the challenge flag out ruling on the field is a completed pass Buffalo has challenged that ruling now bring in Terry mccaulay in a moment on the other side of this break you see we're back at the 37 yd line the call was reversed the pass was incomplete so the Bills win the challenge and two is going back up top it's time for Wilson and it's broken up by Christian Benford who had an interception earlier tonight and we've got a flag down on the bill sideline it's about five yds down field [Applause] so the play began with second and 15 it's like a personal foul on Miami against Miami so incompletion left third and 15 and that's the decision now third and 15 or back them up with second and very long after the personal foul we see who was on well most teams it'd be no decision but you don't want to give the Dolphins offense an extra down here so understand the debate so watch Alec Engle the fullback who's out that side personal foul Blindside block offense number 30 it's a 15yd penalty repeat second down that they're going to take the penalty and back it up to make it second and [Applause] 30 interesting always the language in there is back to your own goal line or parallel and Engel is uh pleading his case to a friendly jury here in the [Applause] STS so backs it up to Second and 30 the incompletion on the pass to Tyreek Hill the overturn of the Buffalo challenge stopped two his streak with 10 consecutive completion this is a run inside and Jeff Wilson is thrown down by toell Bernard and Chris Here Comes third and very long yeah and you know when we talked to Tua this week he said there were too many times in that game a week ago against Baltimore that I tried to play Hero ball and it was some interceptions that really helped turn that game and so yeah you want to take your shot here but your defense has been playing great and this is a long way to go maybe even too long for that drift third and 23 Tyreek Hills at the top of the screen in motion two with the sidearm it out the Duram Smite the flag comes down and smite is down shy of the 40 yd line see what this call [Applause] is was a gain of 10 for SMI there's a lot of RP go action and these offensive linemen are easing their way down the field sometimes before down field offense number 73 is declined fourth down I mean you see the Dilemma for the offensive lineman he's got to come down and then he's supposed to come out here and help on the pass play as well but because Tua had to flip himself back around there is the foot so Miami will punt backto back possessions Jake Bailey with a big punt sends deontre Hardy all the way back to the five has some space takes off look out Hardy gets a block down field Hardy's going to go he's at Midfield nobody's going to catch him deont Hardy 95 yards and the bills special teams brings them within a point of a tie game do you remember back in the day with the New Orleans Saints this guy was first team All Pro made the Pro Bowl all that sort of stuff and here's [Applause] why there is something extra going going [Applause] on great return by Hardy there's an injured Miami player back behind the play Josh Allen was watching and loving all of that and so too was his teammate toar Hamlin inactive for this one as he has been for most of the Season Shawn mcder as well and on the Miami side the injury is to Cameron good and he is their other Edge rusher he's obviously playing a lot of special teams as well you see Matt Smiley to the left there that is the Special Teams coordinator for Shawn McDermot and the long return by Hardy so the bills will come back and try an extra point momentarily Cameron good injured for Miami a huge part of their many injuries on the defensive front time out C comes out they've immobilized the left leg of C good first year player at a cal he was drafted a year ago was on the practice squad all of last year you see he runs into Alec Engel who was being blocked by Taylor WP and takes that awkward step and grabs that left knee as Hardy goes right through that spot there and got the blocking downfield and again Cameron good was one of the three healthy Edge rushers from Miami so they're down to Melvin Ingram and Emanuel ogba as Edge rushers for the rest of this game Buffalo gets the ball back on offense after the longest punt return in Bill's history Tyler bass to tie the game at 14 and he does just that and back to the return the second of Hardy's career yeah and Cameron good and we hate that he got hurt on the play but he also sort of takes out Alec Eng gold right there as well so the injury led to a block on his own player and created that space for Hardy to take at the distance you're going to see as they Collide and the entry happens there's nobody left to protect that zone right there and Hardy took full advantage of it so a wild game gets even Wilder here as we are in the fourth quarter and remember what we said at the start of the game it's if Buffalo wins if Miami wins but there's also a potential tie scenario in this and that would change how the matchups go for next week in the Wild Card round and now with the game tied of 14 that's much more of a possibility we've seen that in the final game of the season a couple of years ago meantime the Bills fans who have made the Trek are enjoying that moment so if it's a tie in this game we'd have to go through the 10-minute overtime obviously Miami would host Pittsburgh and buffalo would be the six seed and go to Kansas City next Saturday night touch back here Dan to the field and Melissa Mike a number of injuries to tell you about let's start with the dolphins defense and linebacker Andrew van GLE who limped off the field in the third quarter straight into the X-ray room he is officially out with a left foot injury to the bills offense running back Tai Johnson out with a concussion and then left tackle Dion Dawkins has a significant laceration on his left hand the athletic training staff was working on it out here and then they Sprint it into the locker room he's in there getting stitches on it he's questionable to come back out and then back to the Dolphins defense linebacker Cameron good you saw him just card it off they put a temporary cast on that left leg we'll keep you updated on him well all right well listen thank you here's the pinch on first down H Chan back behind the line of scrimmage Taran Johnson who's had some kind of game Chris in run defense some kind of career is what that guy has had Taran Johnson is just one of those leaders and the strength of this Buffalo Bills team so many times are those two safeties and the ability of Taran Johnson to read and decipher on the edge he plays like he's a linebacker out there weaves his way through all that traffic and makes a huge play to start this drive second and 11 two willes to H and one more time inside for only a couple of yards you're hearing more and more noise those Buffalo Bills fans who have taken most of the seats on the bills sideline they are up and cheering and making it hard for Miami to operate in their home stadium I'll tell you who else is making it hard to operate balen Spectre has come out he's only got seven defensive snaps on the year coming in here and he has been a factor so far in this one that was a big play looks like the bay Spector we saw at Clemson he was a tackling machine in his 53 game career for the Tigers third n Forman rush to a throws broken up by Dane Jackson triying to get it to Cedric Wilton and now the momentum shifting Miami three drives in this half and this will be their third punt how about the plays made defensively on that Series right there for Dane Jackson to come back remember they made the trade for rul Douglas they weren't happy with the corners and there he goes another play tonight High hanger by Bailey and Hardy says get away get away and it ends up being a good Bounce from the 26 Josh Allen pressure comes late Allen's pass to Diggs on the 31 yd line in front of Eli Apple for Diggs it's catch seven on the night 14 all what would you tell Josh Allen right now the way the game is gone um ubu right UV you because we've seen Josh in these big moments here and but I like when they come out and they start a drive with an easy completion right let's get him in Rhythm let's give him a little confidence don't make him feel like he has to run the ball all the time use these receivers and running backs J Qui try to bounce it to the outside he does it will get to the 34 yd line and bring up third down [Music] well the other thing now without Dion Dawkins in there playing that left tackle position Ryan vandemar in there now so you've got backup rushers going against a backup tackle and Josh Allen's got to try and figure out exactly what all that means you see vandemark the first year man out of Yukon that's five man offensive line has played 98% of the snaps of Buffalo this year so rare not to have them Dawkins out now Allen design run propels himself into the defense and as a first down of the 38 yd line so you got your fourman bob sled you got your twom man bob sled then you got your oneman bob sled right there taking his car right through the middle I know it's not a car but I don't care Josh Allen is found away at the key moments of the football game to use his legs he's got a bad shoulder he's been dealing with it all year long he's been in and out of rehabs and trying to take care of it but with everything on the line you know Josh Allen is going to do his thing little like the guys who do the lose like that guy got to be nuts to do that Josh Allen for the 38 deep drop sling down the sideline for the tight end K he's got it again at the Miami 35 gain of 27 so now they're having to get really creative on the back end look who's in coverage here Melvin Ingram Melvin Ingram's 34 years old covering one of the hot young tight ends in the league and that's what happens when you get down players like this you have to substitute some people in and so Ingram's having to do something he probably has never done very much of in his entire career round 55 round 55 first down Allen will throw it underneath it's caught by cook they're on the 30 yd lines pick up a four as we close in on 9 minutes left they continue to work on Dawkins trying to get him back in there such a good player there the one thing that we haven't seen a lot of in this game is the pull action by the centers or either tackles they did a lot of kicking out on the edges and you just wonder maybe now with these new guys in playing The Edge if they don't come back to some of their base Run game [Applause] here Big's in motion Allen looked his way now throws it's Shakir down the sideline inside the five first and goal Buffalo at the three khil Shakir for 28 yds well you've got picks by the offense and then you've got picks by the defense all three defensive backs basically ran into each other there and despite the fact that they thought they knew what that play was the Collision cost them a big play they had the ball at the four they now properly mark it at the three chrisan goal Buffalo for the lead left what a play by Brandon Jones from his safety spot gets him for a loss of two I tell you I love playoff type football I know we're not in the playoffs yet but the effort that we're seeing out of these players tonight has just been phenomenal this has been a great game not a pure game not a pretty game but such an intense game and we're starting to feel what the next month of the season's going to be like empty backfield second and go hook in motion Allen throws it's caught to The edone Knocks Buffalo takes the lead Dawson knocks his second touchdown of the Season yeah give the Buffalo Bills credit and Joe Brady in particular the offensive coordinator they have been working those picks on the outside and took it right down the field are they illegal picks no they're not they're intelligent picks and they're working Tyler back 2114 the phills got in the red zone two fourth quarter touchdowns for the bills on top by seven rexon baros dangerous Return Man will not get his hands on it it's a Touchback Dolphins start at their own 25 back to the game to a stepping up try and middle high for Hill and incomplete in that spot with everyone converging Hill slow to get up so with Buffalo leading right now the playoffs would look like Steelers at Bills Dolphins having to go on the road to Kansas City if they they come back and we end up in a tie Buffalo's the six seed and goes to Kansas City Miami's the two seed and we'll be here against Pittsburgh so you know what's at stake here in the final seven and [Applause] change he'll out second and [Applause] 10 T go bya first Lookers covered scrambling gets rid of it it's caught by Chase Claypool rare appearance for Claypool just as fourth catch of the year and he's at the 28 yd line third down coming up here Chris you know Chase claypool's a bigger body so when you're talking about trying to replace Jaylen Wadd and they love throwing over the middle of the field so much maybe that bigger body can be a factor we've seen tonight two a little high with some of those throws to Tyreek over the middle of the field so you put somebody bigger in there we'll see they W Miami first down in this second half Bill showing heat bringing some to throw to Hill is through his hands and incomplete tried to bring it in in front of Micah Hyde and Miami goes three and out again here in this second half this is a fantastic throw here by Tua under great duress inside and he hit Tyreek Hill maybe the best receiver Surefire Hall of Famer and he just cannot not real it in I me having to run David long and extra Personnel out remember Cameron good was hurt this is the fourth consecutive punch from Miami it's the first time that's happened all season double catch there for Hardy at the 25 yard line so worst possible time of the year for Miami offense to go through this kind of a struggle with 614 to go and Chris you also think about all the injuries we've seen here tonight these teams got to turn around and play a game even one more Notch up next week but they're both getting in a game tonight that feels like a playoff game and a little playoff experience helps going in there now it doesn't help when you've got your key guys out of the game but I think the pressure that these two quarterbacks have felt and the blitzes they've had to try and make plays off is really going to be a big part of what they're going to see going forward [Applause] now Miami may be seeing the blitzes of Steve spago in the Chiefs in Arrowhead on Saturday night if they can't rally here Allen in the bills trying to get back to Orchard Park down throw with his left tackle Dawkins back in with a dance of the move to the 32 G of six that's uh I don't know what would you call that move there Mike the Collinsworth oh you the only guy I saw that smooth that's freeze tag right there everybody just stopped oh here we go Qui three catches on the night carried it 13 times no surprise as usual Josh Allen's the leading rusher for the bills Jo Brady though has gotten Josh Allen started with a short completion in like the last three or four drives it feels like trying to get him in that Rhythm time out Buffalo here with 528 to go a little bit of confusion and there is Brady of course Ken dorsy was the offensive coordinator to start the season after the loss against Denver they made the switch to Brady Vic fangio is trying to stop Josh Al and he talked about it earlier this week in a colorful way Allan's just a beast of a guy a physical specimen you know like John Elway was in the mid 80s to the mid 90s this guy is the new John Elway on steroids and I don't mean he's taking steroids he's just bigger faster um Canon F arm tough you know he's he's a dude that was great from Vic he he he's a dude way describe him exactly right he's a dude and those of us who remember watching lway play and it kind of describes the way lway was now one's even bigger than new jet with 65 237 on a ride forette going run inside here keeping those leg pushing getting the extra push for the right tackle Spencer Brown as well they're going to mark it a yard shy of the first half the 35 yd line well the dude now in all likelihood is going to be called upon to pick up a yard here and it'll be a healthy yard but for the most part every time they have been going off to the left side he's got the big Pusher Leonard forette in there and forette saying which way's going left Tak to inside this time and push and Allen trying to extend it with rayquan Davis hanging on him had to get to the 36 yd line I believe that spots a hair short of it let's see he went left but then he kind of got kicked out back to the right Alex Kemp stopped the clocks at our time here the officials time had to get all the way to that 36 yd line I think this might be short going to bring out the sticks to look at it let see he's going to start off to the left side and then pops back this way that that extension there does that get to the 36 yd line I thought it was closer to the 36 than what they got right German's already used a challenge and wanted so he still has two and he has two timeouts listening to his guys upstairs watching the replay the one thing on the extension when is his knee down it's so hard to see in all of this looks like he's on on top of bodies yeah and the balls comes out there but it was definitely more than a half a yard more than where it was placed on fourth and one the bills keep the offense out for the moment they'll at least line up as if they're going for it go win the game on the offensive side why not it's going to take all the time here and then take a timeout no let's see all the time bleed off the play clock fourth and a half yard and then you go alen Sur over the top and has the first down wow the analytics did indicate go they do and get the first down it's going to force Mike McDaniel to use these timeouts so we've got a new thing now now we got a a tush push launch it's not just a push it's an up and over the top I haven't seen seen that one yet and give credit to forette for realizing what was happening and getting underneath him there and pushing him for that first down yeah W ball at the 37 yd line I didn't now he's going to start using those timeouts here forette off a tackle to the left gain of a couple timeout dolphins with three 17 to go well you talk about John Elway being a dude two timeouts left for the Dolphins out of the gun on second and eight and he brings the pressure Allen just pulls it PPS left it open will slide to stay in bounds and force Mike McDaniels to use his second timeout at 311 and we'll get to third down and about eight coming up Mike McDaniel Chris talked all week about what the intended goal of this Miami team was to win the division because Buffalo's run this division the last three years they've won it they're going for a fourth consecutive here and Mike McDaniel pointed to the accomplish because they were in the playoffs already said no this group needs to accomplish something like this cuz we haven't done it here since 2008 well and the thing that's got to be killing him is I think the game was going exactly the way that he wanted it to go they were running the foot ball they had a lead they punt the ball they have an injury that takes out two of their players and at 90 plus yard punt return and the game completely changed but now they need to play right here on defense to give two in his offense one more shot Buffalo trying to get to the 47 yd [Applause] line I it shows pressure bring it and we have a whistle and a delay of game on the bills delay of game offense 5yd penalty third down big [Applause] there especially coming out of timeout just a killer play there they did a little shifting around they were going to bring pressure but man I take that thing back to third and 13 all right got Diggs on the top against Ramsey let's see can not make the big mistake Buffalo Allen going to protect it going to take off long way to go and Allen got there flag down though flag down on the opposite side of the field Allen's run got him the first down at the 48 yd line see what this flag is again it's on the far side of the field away from where Allen was running holding Defense number five that's a 5yd penalty from the end of the run first down Jaylen Ramsey it has been the quick releases of Diggs and there you could see the grab but don't let that take away from this Josh Allen as he's done so many times bad shoulder and all just keeps fighting and big banio knew he was a dude and the dude got him that time exactly that was some effort at the tail end that any other quarterback other than maybe Lamar a couple of them right they're going down before that Collision point and instead he Dives for the first down 15yd run Miami does that one timeout left because there was a penalty there the clock stop so it's first down forette will lose a yard into the waiting arms of Emanuel agba Mike McDaniel takes his final timeout here with 259 to go so Buffalo will have a couple of plays before the two-minute warning The Last clock stoppage for the Dolphins give him credit you know Mike there are so many quarterbacks when things start to fall apart they fall apart he did not have a good first half right he he did not have a good first half I hearkened back to to one Brett Favre and I think I've got these numbers right in a playoff game one time he threw five interceptions and he was still firing at the end of the game and got to six but he didn't care he knew the game was in his hands to win or lose and I think Josh Allen lives every day just like that maybe he should distribute it more maybe he should hand it off but when the game's on the line he knows he can go win the football game money time this second half Buffalo has clearly outplayed Miami designed Allen run got to stay in bounds and he gets down just in time to do that and that will run the clock down to 213 before the next Buffalo sta on third down well you're right back where you started now and this has been when Josh has been running but you certainly don't want an incomplete pass here either right so how much confidence does Shawn mcder have in his own defense I would say a lot unless you're playing the Miami Dolphins who can strike as quickly as any team in football call any play you want dude you keep it on one ready break third and 10 Allen back he's throwing inside Shakir sh the first down so he stopped at the 37 yd line this will take it to the 2-minute warning it will be fourth and one and the decision coming for Buffalo here field goals 55 do you go for the first Josh Allen been great on third or fourth and one fourth and one conversion here would win the division for the bills this was a play two plays ago Allen's left hand went out of bounds before a body part went down he should have been out of bounds and stopped the clock now that was really close it was a bang bang play as it was happening they wound the clock you wonder why Miami didn't challenge they couldn't they had no timeouts remaining so they could not challenge to go back and look at that so here we go Chris lining up to go for it on fourth and one and it's a wildcat setup with forn nette and Shakir sent in motion and Allen coming back under Center jump watch out careful and they can't draw off and buffalo takes the timeout couple of timeouts left so they try to get him to jump they did not would you have gone for that I think I would have I'm kind of thinking yes I mean it you're leaving the ball it's not like you're kicking the field goal and going to leave it back at the 45 you're going to leave it at the 37 which worst things could happen to that and you're one play away from right winning the game and your point is if you do try the field goal to go up two scores and you miss it you're going to give him the extra eight yards cuz it goes back to the spot of the Miss and they tried to draw off that didn't work and so now Buffalo brings the offense back out Josh Allen's asking for one more person out there [Applause] yeah I agree with this one get Reggie Gilman the game game I I there's there's no harm in leaving it here and your odds of getting this are tremendous everybody in [Applause] tight keeps surfs over the top keeps going gets pushed the spot is coming down the 36 yd line that's where they had to get to a spot for the division title or Miami keeps its hopes alive [Applause] ball is placed right where the line is and we're going to get the sticks to come in just eyeballing it from here they look a hair short I mean whoever knows where they put that ball down you know and how to mark it right on that play [Applause] will Miami get their hands on the ball with one last [Applause] chance oh my yes they will yes they will so it's a fourth down change of possession so the spot will get looked at one more time to make sure it's in the right spot now TR the surf over bodies that ball never really gets to that pylon on that side until the end right there and the whistles were already being blown at that point once the officials coming in they were blowing the whistle at that point so this play has not been confirmed by New York you now they have you see the officials at the top they come in and blow the whistle right there you can see it so it is Miami ball and here we go touchdown to try to tie or maybe wi twoa Tyreek sideline out of bounds to the 45 the clock gets stopped there they've done nothing offensively in this half Tyreek at his best is built for these two minute offenses get the ball out of your hands so far the Buffalo Bills here in the second half have sort of gotten him off the spot have gotten him to move around a little bit that's not when he's at his best he's at his best catch it get it out quickly the bills on the other hand will try and distract these receivers getting some contact rexton baros in motion two a throws it's complete Grant Midfield dur Smite stopped there the push by Austin Jackson the clock keeps running Miami cannot stop it and it's up to these Dolphin receivers to get the ball back to the official quickly but plenty of time there's plenty of time here oh from Midfield tungle byoa in the middle off the hands of Hill and a flag down on the far side that's pass interference on the defense pass interference Defense number 30 balls place to the spot the foul automatic first down from Miami Dane Jackson in for the injured rul [Applause] Douglas let take a look on the outside you knew it was a matter of time before they could get Tyreek kill matched up against Jackson there's the little hook and turn just enough let's see if they try and Chase Christian Benford over on Tyreek do ball at the 40 yd line LS in the back in motion to a stepping up slinging in the air broke it up Taylor WP Taylor RP the third safety goes to the summit to knock it down from Hill and we're seeing a lot of unique looking defenses and Tyreek Hill has been limping off the field a few times here tonight just keeps hanging tough but these are some really nice disguises coming out here by Shawn mcdermitt's defense and they're playing their three safeties with Hyde puyer and the man who just made the pass break up WRA Hill on the sideline for second and 10 hea throwing and it second by wrap and that's a wrap on the division for the Buffalo Bills for the fourth straight season and rap is injured on the play Let's make sure anytime you catch one on your belly and I guarantee you MC's not celebrating yet [Applause] it looks clean to me kept it secure to his chest Chase Claypool was the receiver over in that direction in because Tyreek Hill was on the sideline and rap the veteran who played with the Rams proposed to his wife on the field after the Super Bowl victory Super Bowl 56 comes up with the pick the second one of the night for the Buffalo Bills RP gets up and the bills Mafia enjoys the worthwhile journey to South Florida that was some comeback by the buffalo it never looked like they were on their aame here tonight they had a multitude of entries out there mistake after mistake in the first half of the game and yet the Buffalo Bills were very Pittsburgh
