First, it was Tua Tagovailoa looking for Tyreek Hill on a deep ball down the left side when Christian Benford hauled in the pass instead for Buffalo.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Josh Allen returned the favor on a crushing drive for the Bills, as Eli Apple won the battle in the end zone on third-and-goal from Miami\u2019s 5-yard line. It was a 6:45 drive that ended with no points.<\/p>\n
FROM OUTKICK: CHRIS JONES GETS $1.25 MILLION SACK, CHIEFS TEAMMATES GO BONKERS, \u2018MAKE IT RAIN\u2019 ON STAR DEFENDER<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\nAfter another pass was intercepted from Allen, the Dolphins finally got the points seal with a methodic drive of their own.\u00a0<\/p>\n
De\u2019Von Achane, the speedy rookie running back that has added to the lethal offensive weapons in Mike McDaniel\u2019s offense this season, made a few Bills defenders miss on his 25-yard touchdown run. However, much like the interception streak, touchdowns started pouring in.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Bills got on to respond to Achane\u2019s score, and it was in the wackiest way possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tyreek Hill #10 of the Miami Dolphins celebrates after a touchdown during the second quarter against the Buffalo Bills at Hard Rock Stadium on January 07, 2024 in Miami Gardens, Florida.\u00a0<\/span> (Rich Storry\/Getty Images)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nOn an RPO play, Allen decided to pull the ball on second-and-goal from Miami\u2019s six-yard line and try to hit the slanting Trent Sherfield. But the ball was tipped at the offensive line and flew into the air.<\/p>\n
No one but Sherfield saw the ball in the air, though, and he tracked it while keeping his two feet in bounds and made the catch to the bewilderment of everyone at Hard Rock Stadium.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Dolphins didn\u2019t like losing their lead, and Tagovailoa used Hill to get down the field quickly for a touchdown to make things 14-7. Hill was the target on a quick out route near the goal line, and after hauling it in, the speedster did a celebratory backflip in the end zone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Things weren\u2019t going well for the Bills to start the second half after a first-drive punt followed by a wild fumble recovery for Dolphins defensive tackle Christian Wilkins, who simply stole the ball out of Allen\u2019s hand while they were driving.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tua Tagovailoa #1 of the Miami Dolphins looks to pass during the first quarter against the Buffalo Bills at Hard Rock Stadium on January 07, 2024 in Miami Gardens, Florida.<\/span> (Rich Storry\/Getty Images)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nBut momentum changed immediately when Deonte Harty took a Dolphins punt after the ensuing drive 96 yards to the house to tie the game up. If the tie wasn\u2019t enough, the Bills got a three-and-out and used it to take their first lead of the night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Allen worked his way downfield, finding rookie tight end Dalton Kincaid for 26 yards and Khalil Shakir for 28 yards to set things up first-and-goal from Miami\u2019s three-yard line.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Two plays later, Dawson Knox reached over the goal line to score from five yards out, taking a 21-14 lead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Dolphins had a chance with 1:53 left to play after stuffing Allen on a fourth-and-1 chance following the two-minute warning. But once again, Tagovailoa threw a bad interception, this time to Taylor Rapp who saw him targeting Chase Claypool all the way.\u00a0<\/p>\n
