After posting what is likely the BIGGEST UPSET in this season so far with a shocking win over the Patroits, Miami had themselves in position to stake firm control over an otherwise crazy tight divisional battle amongst the top three in the division, namely the Phins, The Pats, and the Bills. With the Bills winning the first matchup earlier in season easily 66-31, Miami came into the game in a MUST-WIN attitude, any loss to a divisional rival likely spells doom to any hoped for playoff push, especially with three more tough battles looming (maybe four) against the likes of Titans, Jags, Pats again, and newcomer Texans. Win now is the theme!!Now all Miami had to do was do just that......
but, back to being typical Miami, the phins fall behind BIG early in game, down 14 within 2 minutes yet AGAIN and down 21-3 just after start of 2nd quarter. A semi-charge before the half brought Miami within striking range, down only 24-17 at the MidPoint.
miami took ball first in 3rd, controlled clock and drove length of field and scored late in 3rd to tie game at 24 each. However, 1st play in 4th quarter, on a 4th and Goal play, the Bills stumbled into the lead again 31-24. Miami quickly answers, tie game once again at 31. Bills , on 3rd and 21 from own sid of field again score on next drive taking lead temporarily 38-31. As would be theme of game, Miami quickly responds, tie game again at 38. Two more TDs by both squads ties game yet AGAIN at 45-45 with 17 secs to go. Bills takes snap, hits a 30 yarder and out bounds, then 16 yarder to set up Game Winning Field Goal from 51 yards away as time expires. Final Score, Bills 48, miami 45..
Miami falls to 8-3 after all games are said and done for this block of games, behind the Bills and Pats whom each have 2 games left. All three however still face the Tough Jacksonville Jaguars, and miami still has a tussle with Texans and the mighty titans. Good Riddins to Miami Hopes of a playoff spot!!!
