The Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins were deadlocked at 27 apiece late in the fourth quarter because Bills kicker Tyler Bass had missed an extra point earlier in the game.
But Bass made up for that when he drilled a new career-long field goal from 61 yards out with five seconds left to give Buffalo a 30-27 victory over its AFC East rival.
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.
But the 58-yard field goal line, which was Bass’s previous career high, wasn’t reached after Allen couldn’t find Dalton Kincaid down the field for what would’ve been a large gain and a much easier field goal.
However, when Bass stepped into the kick, he wasn’t thinking about the previous miss on the 33-yard extra point. Instead, he absolutely drilled the 61-yarder and celebrated accordingly with five seconds left.
De’Von Achane also scored on both the ground and through the air, as he racked up 121 yards from scrimmage on the day.
