“Woah… stay out of my lane bro,” Sanchez tweeted at Morstead.Īllen had about a minute to guide Buffalo into field goal range, and did so, but the Bills ran out of time. Sanchez ran into the bottom of lineman Brandon Moore, jarring the ball loose. The kick clanked right off Sherfield and went out the rear of the end zone for a safety - a mishap drawing immediate comparisons to Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez's infamous “butt fumble” from 10 years earlier.
The Dolphins' defense did just enough to stall Allen twice in the fourth quarter, the first effort a goal-line stand that followed a go-ahead rushing touchdown by Miami's Chase Edmonds.Īllen threw incomplete on fourth down from the 2-yard line, ending a 17-play, eight-minute drive - and seemingly Buffalo's chances for a comeback win.īut then Tagovailoa and the Dolphins went three-and-out, leaving Morstead with little room to kick the ball away. He finished with 186 yards and a touchdown pass to River Cracraft.Īllen was also scraped up, getting X-rays on his right hand after the game after banging it on a helmet or facemask. “But I’m just really, really happy for the team because this much I do know: Teams win football games, and if you are going to have success over the long haul, you have to have confidence that whatever phase can win a football game for you, can go ahead and do that.”ĭolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa briefly left the game in the second quarter, returning after halftime despite appearing to be disoriented by a head injury - the team clarified later that actually, he had an issue with his back. “I don’t like these shock endings,” Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said. Miami overcame what was quickly dubbed the “butt punt” by shutting down Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills twice in the final minutes, improving to 3-0 with a 21-19 victory that ended with Allen desperately trying to spike the football on the edge of field goal range. Nearly the butt of a bad joke ending, the Dolphins held on for the last laugh against the reigning AFC East champions instead. Right into the backside of blocker Trent Sherfield.
Thomas Morstead stepped into the middle of Miami's end zone, swung his powerful right leg and booted a punt.
