Elandon Roberts, linebacker for the Miami Dolphins, and several Buffalo Bills players engaged in a scuffle after the former pushed quarterback Josh Allen on the sideline. The two teams locked horns at a snowy Highmark Stadium on Saturday.
The Buffalo Bills won 32-29 and clinched a playoff berth.
In the fourth quarter, when Allen and co were getting desperate to recover points and end Miami’s lead, the quarterback made a run. He was shoved at the sideline by Roberts.
Dion Dawkins, Bills’ lineman, immediately rushed towards Roberts and the two got into each others face. A number of other Buffalo players also joined in.
Watch:
The Bills led for the entire game before the Dolphins turned the game in the third quarter. They hosts had to cover a 29-21 deficit in the final minutes. Josh Allen powered them to a touchdown and then 15-play, 86-yard drive that ate up the final 5:56.
With the win, Buffalo Bills qualified for post-season. The Miami Dolphins, on the other hand are now 8-6. They’ve now lost three in a row in their bid to qualify for the postseason for the first time since 2016.
Josh Allen finished 25 of 40 for 304 yards, and matched a career-best with four touchdowns passing. Nyheim Hynes, Quintin Morris and James Cook each had TD catches.
