‘The Bills offense was humming for most of the first half, totaling 286 yards of offense in the first 30 minutes. The big problem was that Josh Allen was playing crazy ball. Bills fans have seen it over and over for years. It’s an experience with the elite quarterback who can make all the throws and sometimes forgets the situation may not call for some of them.’

Bills outlast Dolphins in sloppy Sunday night affair, earn AFC East title with Week 18 victory
‘The Bills had an opportunity to seal the game with 1:53 remaining, but a quarterback sneak failed, turning the ball over to the Dolphins on downs. But Buffalo’s defense came up with one last stop to cap a remarkable four-quarter effort, securing a game-sealing stop with safety Taylor Rapp recording Buffalo’s second interception of the game with 1:17 remaining.’
Seven Takeaways: McDermott's 'D,' contributions from unlikely sources key Bills division-clinching win over Dolphins; Buffalo headed to playoffs for 5th straight season
‘Buffalo, which lost two defensive starters during the win — linebacker Tyrel Dodson and cornerback Rasul Douglas — limited Miami to just 275 yards of total offense and 4 of 10 conversions on third down, while quarterback Tua Tagavailoa finished an uninspiring performance 17 of 27 passing for 173 yards, 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions. Miami’s leading receiver was Tyreek Hill, who finished with a solid performance consisting of 7 receptions for 82 yards and a touchdown. But Miami’s running game, which was red-hot in the early going, gaining 100 yards on its first 16 carries, faded as the game progressed and finished with a total of 108 yards rushing on 20 attempts. Miami gained just 57 total yards of offense over the final two quarters.’
Bills show their mettle in comeback win over Dolphins to clinch fourth-straight AFC East title
‘They are maddening. They are inconsistent. They can be downright baffling. They are also perseverant.’
Sabato: Bills will go where Josh Allen takes them and it might be Super Bowl or bust
‘It’s a common theme because the Buffalo Bills too frequently still put Allen in those situations. Two dreadful plays and a delay of game put the Bills in that predicament with 3:12 left on the clock, nursing a 21-14 lead and unwilling to give the ball back to the dangerous Miami Dolphins offense.’

Bills vs. Dolphins Sunday Night Football highlights: Buffalo clinches AFC East division title
‘Look how much has changed: Buffalo’s window is wide open again after one of the most resilient finishes in the league this season. And that could be bad news for the rest of the league as the playoffs begin next week.’
Josh Allen rallies Bills for 21-14 win over Dolphins. Buffalo secures No. 2 seed in AFC
‘Allen made things difficult for the Bills with three turnovers in Miami territory, but he came through at the end to help Buffalo earn the No. 2 seed in the conference. The Bills, who didn’t clinch a playoff berth until Tennessee beat Jacksonville earlier Sunday, will host seventh-seeded Pittsburgh in the wild-card round on Sunday.’
Bills rule out WR Gabe Davis vs. Dolphins with knee injury
‘Davis was initially listed as questionable to return but came out of the locker room after halftime out of uniform and was later ruled out.’
Trent Sherfield toe-drag TD pulls Bills even with Dolphins
‘Two plays before the touchdown, Allen connected with wide receiver Stefon Diggs on 36-yard pass to get Buffalo into the red zone. After a 1-yard run by running back James Cook, Allen then found Sherfield, who played with Miami last year, for a 6-yard touchdown pass. The catch marked Sherfield’s first touchdown with the Bills since signing with the team in free agency.’
Buffalo Bills rally, win fourth straight AFC East title
‘This is a team, however, that has experience in close games. All six of the Bills’ losses this year were in one-score games, including the last one, an overtime defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 12. After a Week 13 bye, the Bills had a 21% chance to make the playoffs and just a 4% chance to win the division, per ESPN Analytics.’
Dolphins vs. Bills score, takeaways: Buffalo caps magical late-season run to win AFC East and No. 2 seed
‘It was a rather clunky start for both of these teams as Tua Tagovailoa and Josh Allen swapped interceptions on the opening two drives. Allen also had another pick on Buffalo’s second drive of the night and this turnover came inside the end zone to eliminate a scoring opportunity for the Bills.’
Bills take good, bad and ugly with Josh Allen en route to AFC East title
‘For Allen, this game was the same story as the rest of the year (and maybe his whole career). There have always been two versions of the quarterback. Crazy Good Josh Allen and Crazy Bad Josh Allen. But one quarter of the Crazy Good was enough to wipe away the Crazy Bad in this pivotal Week 18 matchup.’
