‘Then you mix in the fact that Miami was so overdue to get one over on the Bills after losing 12 of the 14 games between the teams since Sean McDermott took over as head coach in Buffalo, it felt like it was Miami’s time and sure enough, the Dolphins played their best game of the season.’

Bills report card: Tyler Bass bails out Buffalo for stressful win over Dolphins
‘Not a great day for the offensive line as it struggled to move the Dolphins out of the way. James Cook had just 44 yards on 10 carries, one of them a 13-yarder, while Ty Johnson had 17 of his 23 yards on one carry. Those helped inflate the Bills’ average per carry to 4.9 yards, but it was not easy out there.’
Teammates ecstatic over Bass’ game-winner, profess confidence
‘“We knew it was going to be a low kick just so T-Bass could put a little juice on it,” Brown said, recalling the play in the locker room. “Protection was good.”’
Bills-Dolphins takeaways: Tyler Bass sets new franchise record with game winner
‘The Bills’ passing offense found it hard to generate explosive plays for most of the afternoon against the Dolphins’ defense. That’s when Davis took a short pass from Allen to the house for 63 yards, giving the Bills the lead back in the third quarter. Davis had to split a pair of defenders and broke the only potential tackle on his way to the end zone. Starting running back James Cook still led all Bills runners in carries, but Davis continues to make the most of his opportunities. He touched the ball five times in the game and totaled 90 all-purpose yards to lead all Bills players.’
How the Bills’ belief in Tyler Bass led to epic game-winning field goal
‘The Bills have maintained their belief in Bass throughout his struggles, but that didn’t stop general manager Brandon Beane from bringing in competition two weeks ago after Bass missed a 47-yard field goal and an extra point in a close, 23-20 win over the New York Jets. Buffalo signed kicker Lucas Havrisik to their practice squad, putting Bass on notice.’

‘“What can you do? I don’t know,” Poyer said. “I felt I had a great post-break and he went up for the ball. I literally didn’t stop my feet. I felt like I hit him right where I was supposed to hit him. The refs didn’t think so. It is what it is.”’

‘Run defense: Buffalo may need to find some help upfront with the trade deadline looming. Buffalo failed to set the edge against the Dolphins consistently and struggled on the interior. Both of Miami’s backs averaged over five yards per carry on the ground.’

‘Miami competed well in defeat, giving Buffalo all it could handle before falling to 2-6 on the year.’
Five Takeaways: Bass' 61-yard bomb wins it for Bills over Dolphins
‘Two weeks removed from his first 100-yard game against the Tennessee Titans and one week following another standout effort against the Seattle Seahawks, rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman experienced the lows of a rookie campaign on Sunday against the Dolphins. With Buffalo driving toward the end zone midway through the second quarter, Coleman allowed a well-placed pass from Allen go off his chest and pop into the air before he failed to haul it in on the second effort, as Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey ripped the ball out of his grasp for the takeaway.’

‘It also didn’t matter that Bass missed nine of his last 19 kicks over 40 yards nor that he only had four attempts over 50 yards in the last 23 games. Whatever trust waned in the Bills enough to sign potential replacement Lucas Havrisik to the practice squad two weeks didn’t stop Bills coach Sean McDermott from trotting out Bass for a 61-yard field goal.’

Bass’ 61-yard field goal gives Allen and Bills a thrilling 30-27 win over Tagovailoa and Dolphins
‘“It means everything. Very emotional,” the 27-year-old Bass said of a field goal that was the longest of his career and broke the franchise record by 2 yards. Steve Christie had the previous mark, a 59-yarder in 1993.’
Bills' Tyler Bass sets new career high with 61-yard field goal to beat Dolphins
‘Jason Sanders’ extra point would tie the game, leaving Allen with just over 90 seconds to play in the game. And this one appeared to be pegged for overtime after Allen couldn’t connect on a deep ball to Keon Coleman on third-and-9. However, a crucial penalty was called on Dolphins safety Jordan Poyer, the former captain in Buffalo, for unnecessary roughness, which gave the Bills 15 extra yards and a first down with less than one minute to play.’
Bills' Tyler Bass kicks 61-yard field goal to set franchise record
‘The kick set a franchise record — the previous record was 59 yards by Steve Christie in 1993 — but for Bass, it came after weeks with his job status uncertain and at the end of a tough game. Previously, Bills kickers were 0-5 all-time on 60-plus yard field goals, including Bass missing a 61-yard kick in 2020.’
