The Buffalo Bills nearly pulled off a last-minute comeback but Josh Allen and the Bills offense ran out of time as the clock expired after an Isaiah McKenzie catch across midfield.
The Bills were trying to get in position for a game-winning field goal but McKenzie was tackled inbounds at the Dolphins 41-yard line and time ran out before Allen could spike the ball.
Early on the Bills took a 7-0 lead, then a 14-7 lead, but Miami came back and took the lead in the 4th quarter on a Chase Edmonds TD run to make it 21-17 Dolphins. After the Bills couldn't convert on 4th and goal late in the 4th quarter, the Buffalo defense forced a stop and then a blocked punt (off a Miami player) that resulted in a safety and gave the ball back to the Bills down 21-19 with 1:37 to go.
Unfortunately, the Bills couldn't complete the comeback and go to 2-1 on the season as Miami moves to 3-0 (1st place in AFC East).
