Five Takeaways: Bass’ 61-yard bomb wins it for Bills over Dolphins
‘Two weeks removed from his first 100-yard game against the Tennessee Titans and one week following another standout effort against the Seattle Seahawks, rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman experienced the lows of a rookie campaign on Sunday against the Dolphins. With Buffalo driving toward the end zone midway through the second quarter, Coleman allowed a well-placed pass from Allen go off his chest and pop into the air before he failed to haul it in on the second effort, as Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey ripped the ball out of his grasp for the takeaway.’

‘It also didn’t matter that Bass missed nine of his last 19 kicks over 40 yards nor that he only had four attempts over 50 yards in the last 23 games. Whatever trust waned in the Bills enough to sign potential replacement Lucas Havrisik to the practice squad two weeks didn’t stop Bills coach Sean McDermott from trotting out Bass for a 61-yard field goal.’

Bass’ 61-yard field goal gives Allen and Bills a thrilling 30-27 win over Tagovailoa and Dolphins
‘“It means everything. Very emotional,” the 27-year-old Bass said of a field goal that was the longest of his career and broke the franchise record by 2 yards. Steve Christie had the previous mark, a 59-yarder in 1993.’
Bills’ Tyler Bass sets new career high with 61-yard field goal to beat Dolphins
‘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.’
Bills’ Tyler Bass kicks 61-yard field goal to set franchise record
‘The kick set a franchise record — the previous record was 59 yards by Steve Christie in 1993 — but for Bass, it came after weeks with his job status uncertain and at the end of a tough game. Previously, Bills kickers were 0-5 all-time on 60-plus yard field goals, including Bass missing a 61-yard kick in 2020.’
Bills’ WR Mack Hollins scores on fourth-and-goal vs. Dolphins
‘It took until the third quarter, but the Buffalo Bills scored the team’s first two touchdowns Sunday in a key AFC East game against the Miami Dolphins by converting a fourth down on a 1-yard pass from quarterback Josh Allen to wide receiver Mack Hollins, plus Ray Davis scoring on a 63-yard catch-and-run.’
Bills find way to win, take control of AFC East despite not being their best
‘Among the qualities of good football teams is being able to win games when they are not at their best. That was the Buffalo Bills on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins.’
Bass goes fishing, helps Bills down Dolphins in thriller
‘Despite some struggles already this season, the veteran kicker came up in the clutch with a late 61-yard go-ahead field goal to help secure a 30-27 win over the Dolphins on Sunday afternoon at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park.’
McDermott believes Bills can play better despite clutch victory over Dolphins
‘”Fundamentally, we’re better than what we were today. Just a lot to improve on”, McDermott said. “But when you can win a close one like this, and it’s back and forth, and we didn’t have our A-Game, and give them credit, they came in here ready to play, and I thought they did a great job with their coaching staff, having that team ready to play.’
Allen on Bills’ dramatic victory over Dolphins: ‘That’s what stories are made of’
‘Josh Allen finished his day going 25-of-39 for 235 yards, three touchdowns and an interception. Allen talked about his emotions on the sideline after watching the game winning 61-yard field goal from Tyler Bass in his postgame presser. “So proud of him, so happy for him”, Allen said. “Got emotional in my little post game speech out there.”‘
Opinion: Death, taxes and Bills beating Miami
‘I’ll take care of the big picture first. It sure feels like the Bills have clinched a fifth straight AFC East title after beating Miami for the 13th time in the last 14 meetings but obviously that isn’t the case. Dolphins players and coaches had to be sitting in the visiting locker room wondering when or if they would ever beat the Bills.’
Opinion: Capaccio: Arrow Up/Arrow Down: Dolphins at Bills
‘Bass nailed the game-winning kick from a franchise-record 61 yards out with just five seconds remaining. For a kicker who has struggled this season, and even in this particular game, it was a massive kick for him and his team. He also made field goal from 49 and 40 yards out. He was excellent from distance.’

‘”There’s a lot of posts on social media, encouraging everyone to donate $61 to Ten Lives Club,” stated Ten Lives Club Spokesperson Kim LaRussa.’
