Bills eliminated from playoffs for 17th straight year after Dolphins hit game-winning FG in OT

Things aren’t looking great for Rex Ryan.

The Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins played an entertaining one in western New York on Saturday, that ended with the Dolphins winning 34-31.

The game went to overtime after a crazy finish that included Ryan trying but not really trying to call a timeout before a field goal at the end of regulation.

In overtime, Ryan opted to punt with four minutes left. A tie would eliminate the Bills from playoff contention, yet Ryan still decided to roll the dice.

Upon receiving the ball, the Dolphins got a big chunk of yardage, putting themselves into Bills territory thanks to Jay Ajayi.

As it turns out, the Bills had just 10 players on the field for that play.

After a couple more runs from Ajayi, the Dolphins took a knee in the middle of the field to set up a game-winning field goal by Andrew Franks.

Franks had tied the game from 55 yards out, and he won it with the 27-yard attempt.

The win effectively knocked the Bills out of playoff contention and put the Dolphins at 10-5. The Dolphins will clinch a playoff spot if the Broncos lose on Christmas.
