Sack - Just aboutpublished at 20:40 Greenwich Mean Time 15 January 2023
Miami Dolphins 24-20 Buffalo Bills
Thompson dies brilliantly to get the ball away when tackled by Milano, but it's eventually ruled as a sack and backs Mimi right up.

Bills shut downpublished at 20:37 Greenwich Mean Time 15 January 2023
Miami Dolphins 24-20 Buffalo Bills
Josh Allen's mind looks a little scrambled right now as the Dolphins blow up a running play for a loss of five then almost sack him as he gets a small gain.
Then on third down he goes for a big one to Diggs, throwing up a jump ball but although he gets two hands on it, it's well contested by Howard and the ball drops - forcing a Bills punt.

..Is only bettered by big man scores touchdown! One of the things we love to see in the NFL.
Dolphins puntpublished at 20:33 Greenwich Mean Time 15 January 2023
Miami Dolphins 24-20 Buffalo Bills
Thompson launches another dime downfield on third down but it goes right through the receivers hands and Miami have to punt.
The young rookie seems to have settled a lot more now and he's let those two throws go nicely - but has zero catches from them to show on his stat sheet.
Back over to Josh Allen...
Great play!published at 20:31 Greenwich Mean Time 15 January 2023
Miami Dolphins 24-20 Buffalo Bills
This is a great play all round! Great throw from Thompson who zips a long one to Waddle, who jumps high and claims a brilliant catch.
BUT Taron Johnson is there and pokes the ball out in mid-air- before Waddle can land and complete the catch. Great stuff by everyone!
Three-and-outpublished at 20:27 Greenwich Mean Time 15 January 2023
Miami Dolphins 24-20 Buffalo Bills
A little bit of a nervy series there from Josh Allen and Buffalo, with the QB missing his receivers on third down with the ball thrown too high for anyone to bring it in.
Another stop from the Miami defence and now even the Bills Mafia in the crowd sound like they're a bit stunned.
Turnovers turning this game aroundpublished at 20:26 Greenwich Mean Time 15 January 2023
Miami Dolphins 24-20 Buffalo Bills
Zach Sieler is six-foot-six and almost 300lb so not exactly a favourite to be scoring touchdowns!
They say turnovers are crucial in the play-offs and Miami now have three, and have scored 18 points off them.

Touchdown - Dolphinspublished at 20:19 Greenwich Mean Time 15 January 2023
Miami Dolphins 24-20 Buffalo Bills
My word! Josh Allen is taken down and the ball comes out, it's picked up by the Dolphins who score to take the lead!
Eric Rowe comes flying in off the edge unblocked and hammers into Allen, who spills the ball allowing defensive tackle Zach Sieler to embark on the 'big man with football' run into the end zone.

The second half is underway with the Dolphins getting the ball and having a chance to stick an early marker down.
Making the most of thingspublished at 20:10 Greenwich Mean Time 15 January 2023
Miami Dolphins 17-20 Buffalo Bills
Skylar Thompson and the Dolphins are right in this - and what's more they're in it without having done a great deal offensively - just 111 total yards in that first half against Buffalo's 275!

Allen invincible?published at 20:07 Greenwich Mean Time 15 January 2023
Miami Dolphins 17-20 Buffalo Bills
Great stat this - it'd be much stronger had we not seen the Jags come back from the dead and that 27-point deficit last night.
Anything can happen in the play-offs...

Can Buffalo keep their nerve?published at 20:01 Greenwich Mean Time 15 January 2023
Miami Dolphins 17-20 Buffalo Bills
Bills fans would have been mighty confident after that first quarter - opening up a 17-0 lead - but how will they be feeling right now?
Miami and Skylar Thompson did really well to fight their way back.
Game on!

Field goal - Billspublished at 19:59 Greenwich Mean Time 15 January 2023
Miami Dolphins 17-20 Buffalo Bills
The Bills used their last timeout on that Stefon Diggs play hoping the officials would review it.
There is no review so Tyler Bass is sent out with seven seconds to go and his kick is good from 39 yards.

Diggs almost comes up bigpublished at 19:58 Greenwich Mean Time 15 January 2023
Miami Dolphins 17-17 Buffalo Bills
The Dolphins back off in coverage to avoid a shot to the end zone. But it doesn't matter to Sean McDermott and Josh Allen who decides to throw the ball down the left side.
Stefon Diggs reaches out his left hand and he gets to it. He is able to make it stick but there is a little bit of a bobble and he is unable to get both feet down in bounds.
Firmly in field goal rangepublished at 19:55 Greenwich Mean Time 15 January 2023

Gabe Davis is able to get away from the coverage as he runs an in route.
The ball is upon quickly with just a flick of Josh Allen's wrist and the Bills are up to the Miami 21-yard line.

Momentum has slowly slipped away from the Buffalo sideline but they are trying to wrestle it back on this drive.
Josh Allen hits Gabe Davis on another go route for 33 yards and they are almost in field goal range.
Touchdown - Dolphinspublished at 19:51 Greenwich Mean Time 15 January 2023
Miami Dolphins 17-17 Buffalo Bills
Buffalo had not given up a touchdown to a tight end all season. That has changed now as Skylar Thompson looks off the defence and comes back to Mike Gesicki from eight yards out.
They decide to go for two and Thompson's pass to Tyreek Hill is on the money. We have a tied game.

A screen pass on third-and-one to Tyreek Hill picks up the first down and a little more and now the Dolphins are inside the 10.
