The Buffalo Bills earned the two seed in the AFC, giving them the right to host their AFC rivals, the Miami Dolphins, in the first round of the playoffs.
Hello everyone and welcome to Highmark Stadium where the Buffalo Bills have looked like one of the best teams in the league all season and finished with the second seed in the AFC. Hines ran another kick back in the most improbably of days from Orchard Park, and Josh Allen finished the game with 254 yards and three touchdowns. With the cancellation of the Bills-Bengals game, the AFC playoff picture got murky as Cincy and Buffalo finished the season with a game less then the rest of the pack. The easy thing to do would be to take the Bills with the points. Allen goes deep for Diggs on the first play of the game, but the pass was overthrown. Thompson looking for Ahmed out of the backfield and he was LIT UP by Edmunds!!! Allen looking for Diggs in the end zone and he dragged in the one handed catch, but couldn't get two feet inbounds. The Dolphins snapped the ball, and went for a deep pass to Waddle. Thompson rolling right and lookng for Gesicki down the sideline but the pass was batted away. Another big stop for the Dolphins. Allen found Beasley for the 6 yard TD. The play is under review and take a look at where he was down.

The Buffalo Bills are massive favorites hosting playoff football at Highmark Stadium against a rookie third-string quarterback.
Diggs caught a screen for 2 yards on the next play and was sacked by Jerome Backer on second down. Cook took a carry off a misdirection for 12 yards for the touchdown. On third-and-19, Thompson completed to Hill for 19 yards and a first down. James Cook ran up the middle for 1 yard and linebacker Jerome Baker was called for defensive offside to set up a second-and-4. A pass for Cole Beasley was defended by Kader Kohou, the ball popped in the air and it was picked off by Jevon Holland, who returned it 29 yards to the Bills' 18. James Cook was dropped in the backfield by linebacker Jaelan Phillips on first down, Josh Allen completed to Dawson Knox for 3 yards and Allen threw incomplete for Stefon Diggs on third down. Josh Allen ran for 12 yards on a designed run for a first down to set up first-and-goal. Cole Beasley took a short pass 29 yards to the Dolphins' 23-yard line and Josh Allen tossed a touchdown to Gabe Davis on the next play. Tyreek Hill lost 3 yards on a reverse and Skylar Thompson completed to Salvon Ahmed for 12 yards. On third-and-11 from the Bills' 49, Josh Allen was stripped by Bradley Chubb on a sack. Thompson threw incomplete on first down, hit Waddle for 14 yards on third down and Salvon Ahmed was stopped for no gain on third down. Miami scored the final 11 points but went three-and-out and turned the ball over on downs in the fourth quarter with a chance to tie or take the lead.
The Bills are headed to the AFC divisional round after surviving a Dolphin-shaped scare, holding on to edge Miami 34-31 on Sunday.
1:03 p.m.: Allen airs the ball out on the very first play, looking for Stefon Diggs on the go route. Per AP, Hamlin hasn't yet made his choice on whether he'll make the trip to Highmark. Finds Khalil Shakir and Diggs on back-to-back plays, moving the chains with each throw. 2:07 p.m.: The Fins got things moving on this drive. Third and long on the cards for Miami. Three straight first downs to move the ball into Bills territory. From out of the league to back on the scoresheet. 1:15 left for the Bills to add to their advantage. The youngster takes a chance on third down and lofts a pass right into the grasp of cornerback Kaiir Elam. Allen tries to hit Cole Beasley, who deflects the ball right into the path of Devon Holland for the interception. A really bad game of delay by Thompson on fourth down sets the Dolphins back five yards. He brings himself right to the brink of the first down marker.
The Buffalo Bills held off the Miami Dolphins, 34-31, to advance to the AFC Divisional Round of the playoffs.

But considering the four false starts and delay of game, the play calls coming in late, multiple big drops by receivers early and late, and the run game being ignored much of the afternoon, Thompson did what he had to to keep his team alive. On the one hand, it allowed Allen to hit on plays such as the Thompson struggled on third downs most of the game, completing only 4 of his first 14 passes in those situations for 34 yards, an INT and only three first downs prior to the big completion late to Waddle. The critical mistakes they made against the Bills likely cost themselves a chance to pull off a huge upset. Allen’s two picks and a lost fumble (one of three fumbles he had in the game) cost the Bills 17 points, including Miami’s [scoop-and-score](https://www.nfl.com/videos/can-t-miss-play-strip-six-rowe-s-forced-fumble-vs-allen-sparks-sieler-s-td-scoop)on the first series of the second half. The Dolphins’ lack of offensive execution, even with a quarterback and head coach in their first playoff games, was the story. The difference here was that the Bills were able to finish off the feisty Dolphins in the final minutes, thanks in part to Miami’s own self-inflicted errors.

Heavy underdog Miami erases a 17-point deficit, but Buffalo regroups to earn a 34-31 win in the wild-card round.
He was making his third career start in place of Tua Tagovailoa, who is still in the concussion protocol, and with backup Teddy Bridgewater dealing with a dislocated pinky finger. Dawson Knox also scored on a 6-yard catch for Buffalo, and James Cook scored on 12-yard run. The Dolphins won 21-19 at Miami in September, and the Bills rallied for a 32-29 win last month. Starting left tackle Terron Armstead played despite missing two of three practices because of injuries to his toe, pectoral muscle, knee and hip. Allen finished 23 of 39 for 352 yards and three TDs, but he threw two interceptions, which resulted in the Dolphins scoring 10 points. That matchup will be determined when the Bengals host Baltimore on Sunday night.

The Dolphins stayed in it nearly until the end. Early in the third quarter, the Dolphins took a 24-20 lead on an Allen fumble. What the Bills have experienced the last two weeks is not the usual kind of adversity that athletes pride themselves on overcoming. A turning point for Buffalo came midway through the third quarter when Bills safety Kaiir Elam intercepted Thompson, who was backed up in his own end zone. On the Bills’ second drive, receiver Stefon Diggs beat Miami cornerback Xavien Howard downfield on a 52-yard catch deep in Dolphins territory. Two plays later, Marlowe intercepted Skylar Thompson, a third-string quarterback who started for Miami, helping the Bills build their early lead. The playoffs are an exhausting gantlet even in the best of circumstances, let alone for players who witnessed a teammate fight for his life during a nationally televised event. Tre’Davious White, one of Hamlin’s closest friends on the team, got the hug he’d been waiting for since Hamlin collapsed. “It doesn’t matter how we win, it’s if we win,” said Bills quarterback Josh Allen, whose up-and-down individual performance was emblematic of the team’s showing. It did not start with the same magic as the previous week’s game, when, on the first play since Hamlin’s collapse, After a week in an intensive care unit in Cincinnati and two more days in a Buffalo hospital, Hamlin was able to watch Sunday’s game at home. 2 after going into cardiac arrest, the Bills have played two more games, each time with something on the line.
The Buffalo Bills advanced to the divisional round of the AFC playoffs with their 34-31 victory over the Dolphins. Now they await their next opponent.
1 seed in the bracket, a potential division game against the Bills would be in Buffalo, not Cincinnati, because the Bills had one fewer loss. 2 when the game many thought would be one of the biggest and best of the regular season was started but not finished after Now, as the Buffalo Bills breathe a hurricane-forced sigh of relief, we wait until late Sunday night to see who they get next in the NFL playoffs. The AFC South champions pulled off an incredible rally from down 27-0 and defeated the Los Angeles Chargers 31-30 Saturday night. That was the Monday night of Jan. As I said, we don’t know yet.

Allen's roller coaster day, defense shows toughness and rookies shine in playoff debut.
He became the first Bill since Darick Holmes and Tim Tindale to score a rushing TD in their playoff debuts (vs. Mostly young players years ago never played or maybe your first-round pick played, so now, the day and age of the NFL is these young players are going to be counted on to play and contribute." The playoffs are about who steps up in the biggest moment and sometimes those contributions can come from unexpected places. Buffalo didn't trail the rest of the game. Allen started off on fire going 9 of 11 for 141 passing yards and a touchdown in the first quarter as the Bills opened up a 17-0 lead. The Bills limited Miami to 3.3 yards per play, 231 total yards and 4 for 16 (25%) on third down conversions. But just as Allen had head-scratching plays, he also showed why he's still one of the best in the business late in the game. Again, Buffalo's defensive unit kept Miami out of the end zone and forced a field goal. In the second quarter, Allen tried to hit John Brown deep downfield on a similar play that he scored on last week, only this time Allen was off target and Dolphins CB Xavien Howard picked him off. He also joins QB Matt Ryan as the only players ever with at least 300 passing yards and three TD passes in three consecutive postseason games. Coming out of half time, the Dolphins had a free rusher right in the face of Allen on a first down play. He had thrown just one interception in his playoff career coming into the day; on Sunday that total jumped to three.
Los Bills evitaron lo que hubiera sido una de las peores derrotas en la historia de la franquicia, pero tienen mucho por limpiar en un periodo corto.
En un día en el que la ofensiva no pudo lograr gran cosa, los Dolphins brillaron en el aspecto de fútbol americano complementario. Eso fue lo que se llevaron los Bills, casi apuntándose una de las derrotas más penosas en la historia de los playoffs en la historia reciente, en casa ante unos Dolphins alineando con el quarterback de tercer equipo, un novato. Esa entrega preparó la anotación de 12 yardas del corredor novato [James Cook](https://espndeportes.espn.com/futbol-americano/nfl/jugador/_/id/4379399/james-cook) cuatro jugadas más tarde, dando a los Bills una ventaja de 14-0. [Tyrel Dodson](https://espndeportes.espn.com/futbol-americano/nfl/jugador/_/id/4035232/tyrel-dodson) evitó el desastre cuando recuperó un balón suelto en patada de despeje en el tercer periodo con los Bills adelante por 27-24. Allen también sufrió un balón suelto en el cuarto periodo, recuperado por el tackle derecho [Spencer Brown](https://espndeportes.espn.com/futbol-americano/nfl/jugador/_/id/4030899/spencer-brown). Tendencia que promete/preocupa: La defensiva de los Dolphins a lo largo de las últimas campañas ha predicado la creación de robos de balón, pero se ubicaron penúltimos en la NFL esta temporada en ese renglón. El receptor abierto [Gabe Davis](https://espndeportes.espn.com/futbol-americano/nfl/jugador/_/id/4243537/gabe-davis) tuvo una de sus mejores actuaciones de la campaña con seis atrapadas para 113 yardas. El head coach de primer año, Mike McDaniel, cortó la sequía de cinco años sin postemporada para la franquicia, pero se necesitan mejorías para un juego terrestre que se ubicó N° 25 en yardas terrestres por partido, y una defensiva que se ubicó N° 21 en puntos esperados añadidos, luego de culminar octavos en esa misma categoría en el 2021. El partido iba a ser, se suponía, una vapuleada sin misericordia, y ciertamente parecía estar encaminándose a eso cuando los Bills consiguieron una ventaja rápida de 17-0 para iniciar el partido. [Cole Beasley](https://espndeportes.espn.com/futbol-americano/nfl/jugador/_/id/15349/cole-beasley), no pareció ser culpa del pasador-- y perdiendo el ovoide, lo que resultó en una anotación para los Dolphins.

people will critique his late decisions and calls. Biracial king Mike McDaniel is making it happen in Miami if he's given the time he deserves.

While there's no issue here with the decision, at some point the Dolphins aren't going to have to stop settling for field goals. The completion to Hill converted a third-and-19.

The Bills win but get a major scare from the underdog Dolphins on Sunday.
When the Dolphins sold out to take him out of the game, the Bills couldn’t get much going. Despite several attempts to allow the Dolphins back into the game, the Bills finally put the game away with two clutch touchdowns, several defensive stops and The Bills had to rely on their defense to bail them out repeatedly and the unit held up its end of the bargain a lot of the time. That was a staple of how Daboll used to call his games when he was feeling it, and it was clear that Dorsey was doing a great job with it early in the game. Basham saw the pre-snap movement of running back [Salvon Ahmed](https://theathletic.com/nfl/player/salvon-ahmed-EEILE2SZd4pJkcPs/) and vigorously pointed toward the flat area on his side to help his second-level teammates. Bills MVP: WR Stefon Diggs – When Diggs was a big part of the offense, the Bills couldn’t be stopped. But against the Dolphins in the first half, the down-to-down substitution patterns looked more like a hockey game, with the forwards jumping on the ice to replace the previous group as the Bills were going fast. The worst was when the Bills called one go ball on a first-down play to [Gabe Davis](https://theathletic.com/nfl/player/gabe-davis-r6EKVq5tIsdjEGad/), didn’t sub him out for the next play, and dialed it up again on the next play where Davis looked out of gas. [Stefon Diggs](https://theathletic.com/nfl/player/stefon-diggs-lPTtUiEJUgmoQukD/) out of the game after some early-afternoon dominance, leaving the Bills disjointed on offense. Diggs was targeted only once in the second half by Miami’s design, and the Bills had to depend on the rest of their receivers and the running game. What led to some of their struggles, and how did the Bills get through with a win? After racing out to an early 17-0 lead, the Bills watched as the 13.5-point underdog Dolphins nearly pulled off the shock of the weekend.
Get a recap of the Miami Dolphins vs. Buffalo Bills football game.
Their matchup will be determined after the Bengals host Baltimore on Sunday night.

Buffalo Bills stock report vs. Miami Dolphins in Wild Card win, 34-31.
Milano thrived and was a star from the Bills linebacker room against the Dolphins. The Bills escaped it, but in such a close game, that muffed punt of his made hearts stop. He recorded [an interception](https://billswire.usatoday.com/2023/01/15/buffalo-bills-dean-marlowe-miami-dolphins-interception/) against the Dolphins. He was all over against the Dolphins, notably recording two sacks and two tackles for a loss. Deserving of a stock up for that. [traded for Marlowe](https://billswire.usatoday.com/2022/11/01/buffalo-bills-dean-marlowe-trade-atlanta-falcons/) earlier this year for this exact scenario.
The Dolphins took rival Buffalo to the wire in an exhilarating Wild Card game but ultimately came up short 34-31.
The Dolphins played the Bills three times this season with a cumulative score of 85-81, a team they struggled with last in previous years and one that is a popular Super Bowl pick. We saw wide receiver Jaylen Waddle exit and return to the playoff game dealing with that shoulder injury. "We're getting the right people in the building," Armstead said. The Miami pass rush was relentless all year and finally paid off with a massive day of production. "People that respect the game, respect how it's played and all the nuances of it on and off the field. Last week, tackle Terron Armstead won the media's Good Guy Award for the 2022 season – voted on by local media for professionalism and accommodation of the beat covering the team. Furthermore, the Dolphins were within one score in the fourth quarter in every game they didn't win this season, indicating they had a chance to win every game in the final frame. The metric is adjusted based upon the opponent faced. With the benefit of hindsight, the value of Sunday's experience is relatively quantifiable given Hill's comments. It's the type of performance that gives the Dolphins momentum heading into the offseason. They got a taste of competing in high-intensity situations with the greatest stakes the sport can offer – elimination games. The majority offered applause to a team that competed for a full 60 minutes against difficult circumstances.
Buffalo came into Sunday's game as a two-touchdown favorite over Miami. After holding on for a 34-31 win, the Bills have much to clean up.
“And it’s never just one player or one play; it’s usually a combination of things. “If they wanted to play no safety high — they played a lot of [cover-zero] today, which we kind of expected — I thought we had some good answers, some really good plays and, again, some not-so-great ones that we got to clean up. Every guy on the team just was so happy to see him.” But the stakes have been raised this time around, and as the Bills were reminded Sunday, home-field advantage doesn’t spare a team from mistakes. “We were up 17-3, and we got to do a better job with that. “We can’t expect to do that again and get a win out of it.” Buffalo took a number of shots deep downfield to capitalize and often succeeded. [went into cardiac arrest](https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2023/01/03/damar-hamlin-injury-update/?itid=lk_inline_manual_8&itid=lk_inline_manual_32) in the first quarter of the Bills’ Week 17 game at Cincinnati, is back home. “I feel like they did it a lot more early than they did it later. The Dolphins are also known for playing a lot of their defensive snaps with one high safety. Minutes later, Allen targeted Cole Beasley on a hitch route, but the ball bounced off the wide receiver’s chest and into the arms of Miami safety Jevon Holland. “I thought we could’ve made a better decision there,” McDermott told reporters Monday.
BUFFALO, NY (WFXR/WIVB) — Buffalo Bills linebacker Tremaine Edmunds made five tackles, four of them solo, in the Wild Card win over the Dolphins on Sunday.
