Bass' 61-yard field goal gives Allen and Bills a thrilling 30-27 win over Tagovailoa and Dolphins
Tyler Bass kicked a career-best 61-yard field goal with 5 seconds left, Josh Allen threw three second-half touchdown passes in a back-and-forth duel with Miami’s Tua Tagovailoa, and the Buffalo Bills continued their domination of the Dolphins with a 30-27 victory
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Tyler Bass tuned out the doubts, the ongoing questions about his consistency and the most recent challenge to his job.
Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott showed faith in Bass by sending him out to try a 61-yard field goal with 5 seconds left, and the kick was good to give Buffalo a 30-27 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.
“It means everything. Very emotional,” the 27-year-old Bass said of a field goal that was the longest of his career and broke the franchise record by 2 yards. Steve Christie had the previous mark, a 59-yarder in 1993.
“Just reminding myself that I love this, I love the sport. This is what I’ve dreamed of and when I was out there,” he added. “I honestly wasn’t thinking about anything. Just went through my process and trusted my preparation. And that was it.”
