Tyler Bass hits a game-winning field goal from 61 yards, Bills beat the Dolphins 30-27

In Buffalo, salvation will be written BASS on Sunday.

Bills kicker Tyler Bass has struggled in 2024 as he missed another extra point in Sunday's game, hitting an extra point at the left post that still ended up going through.

However, it didn't matter at the end of the game, as Bass hit a 61-yard field goal with just five seconds left to give the Bills a 30-27 victory over the Dolphins.

Entering Sunday's game, Bass had missed two extra points and was just 3 of 6 on field goals of at least 40 yards this season. But the Bills still decided to give him the opportunity to win the game from that distance instead of opting for a Hail Mary.

This decision by head coach Sean McDermott paid off.

The Bills and Dolphins had gone back and forth throughout the contest, and the teams traded blows in the second half.

Miami tied the game 20-20 early in the fourth quarter with an 8-yard touchdown run by running back De'Von Achane. But Josh Allen put Buffalo back in the lead with an impressive 2-yard touchdown pass to Quintin Morris. Allen had to dodge the rush before throwing the ball to Morris just as he was hit.

In response, the Dolphins went down the field and scored a 7-yard touchdown from quarterback Tua Tagovailoa to Jaylen Waddle. The receiver was in danger of injury when he took a lump on the back of his leg, but shook it off to get back into the game in time to score.

On Buffalo's ensuing drive, former Bills safety Jordan Poyer was assessed an unnecessary roughness penalty on third down to keep the drive alive on third-and-9. But once the Bills reached the Miami 43-yard line, they couldn't gain any more yards.

It didn't matter to Bass because his previous long field goal was 58 yards.

Allen finished the game 25 of 39 for 235 yards with three touchdowns and one interception. Jalen Ramsey singled out Allen for his first INT of the season. Allen has only thrown two so far this year. Mack Hollins also had a touchdown reception in the game, as did running back Ray Davis – who caught a 63-yard swing pass in the third quarter.

Tagovailoa was 25 of 28 for 231 yards and two touchdowns. Tyreek Hill caught four passes for 80 yards. Achane rushed for 63 yards and caught eight passes for 58 yards. Waddle finished with the bizarre stat line of two catches for -4 yards with a touchdown. Odell Beckham Jr. caught three passes for 15 yards.

With the win, the Bills maintain a firm grip on the AFC East at 7-2. They will be on the road to face the Colts in Week 10.

The Dolphins have now dropped to 2-6. They will face the Rams next Monday night.
