‘”It’s once you get back there, now you have to go from pass rusher to linebacker and you’ve got to corral somebody who’s trying to not necessarily throw the ball but run and get yardage,” Miami defensive end Cameron Wake said. “There’s more of them blocking there than there is of us rushing. It’s going to be a lane somewhere and good guys are going to find it. He got out there a couple times.”‘

Nobody took Buffalo Bills’ loss harder than OC Brian Daboll (video)
‘Bills fan Michael LaFave shared a different view of the game following the loss that featured Daboll in the center of the screen. Daboll, seeing the ball fall to the ground, takes a Ric Flair type of face drop to the field.’
Bills’ Jerry Hughes doesn’t recall screaming at officials after game (videos)
‘”Who was angry?” Hughes asked reporters. “I lost the game so I’m supposed to be angry. We just played our butts off for four quarters and we came six inches short of winning the football game. So I think myself, with a lot of Buffalo Bills fans are probably upset right now. That’s just the nature of sports. Someone is going to win and someone is going to lose.”‘
Report card: Bills’ comeback falls short vs. Dolphins
‘Buffalo’s rookie quarterback still has some work to do. He missed Zay Jones on a wide open touchdown earlier in the game and just overthrew Robert Foster for another score late in the game. Allen also needs to work on his adding some touch to his passes.’
NFL Week 14 odds, over/under: Bills are favorite for first time this season
‘The Buffalo Bills opened as a three-point favorite Sunday night for next week’s game against the New York Jets back in Orchard Park, N.Y. The line quickly moved to 3.5 points.’
Clay’s drop epitomized Bills loss
‘That play was the epitome of the Bills’ loss on Sunday. Allen used his athleticism with his legs to escape pressure — like he had to all game long — and just fell short of making it count when it mattered most. From the deep throw to Robert Foster that was overthrown by no more than three feet, to the throw behind Zay Jones in the endzone for what would’ve been an easy touchdown, to the missed safety that the Dolphins only avoided by the length of a football, the Bills had opportunity after opportunity fall just out of reach. Clay’s drop at the end was just the latest example.’
Buffalo Bills Week 13 Report Card: Josh Allen has big game, but Bills lose to Dolphins 21-17
‘Josh Allen had a day. He showed off his arm with 231 passing yards and two touchdown passes to Zay Jones. The one touchdown pass to Jones in the back of the end zone was a beauty. Allen rolled to his right and threw that pass on the run. It was an impressive display of his athleticism. He once again showed off his running ability with 135 rushing yards. Having that dual threat is an asset to the Bills’ offense.’
NFL roundup: Bills QB Josh Allen sparkles in Miami despite loss
‘In the second half, Allen by far was the most compelling offensive performer for either team. He made several elite, chunk gains with his powerful arm as well as his feet.’
A Bills defensive lineman had harsh words for a ref after losing to the Dolphins
‘“You called me a ‘B—-,’ though,” Hughes can be heard yelling in a 23-second video caught by Spectrum News Buffalo’s Jon Scott, all while pointing toward an official. “I’ll catch you. Trust me, I’ll catch you. I’ll catch you, guarantee it.”’
Miami Dolphins win today but Buffalo has a better QB situation for tomorrow
‘Because while Tannehill showed in his seventh season he’s polished his game to a certain solid level, Allen showed in his seventh start his ceiling is way higher and way more promising than anything the Dolphins have.’
Video shows Bills defensive end Jerry Hughes scream at official, charging that he was called ‘a b—-‘
‘The target of his ire isn’t clearly shown, but three officials appear to be walling off Hughes before a man identified as injured Bills lineman John Miller — a Miami Central High School graduate — intercedes and turns Hughes back toward the Bills locker room.’
Bills DT Jordan Phillips: Dolphins coach Adam Gase ‘definitely respects me after this game’
‘“Every time I made a play, I clapped my hands. And it was directed toward them. For some reason, they felt the need to run at me, and they paid for it,” Phillips said of the Dolphins after the game.’
Charles Clay drop: How players and coaches saw final Bills play in Dolphins victory
‘Clay was so wide open. He certainly could have caught it. But he didn’t.’
Lieser: Buffalo Bills’ Josh Allen is QB Miami Dolphins wish they had
‘They got their first look at Buffalo rookie quarterback Josh Allen, and he kept them guessing all afternoon. He wasn’t always the good kind of unpredictable, but he radiated confidence and potential in a way that’s been unfamiliar to this franchise the last two decades.’
