It wasn’t pretty — it was pretty ugly, to be honest. The Buffalo Bills are moving on to the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs after defeating the Miami Dolphins, 34-31, Sunday at Highmark Stadium.
The game was dreadfully slow. Miami’s offense led by third-stringer Skylar Thompson had no luck managing the game clock.
Mike McDaniel and his Fish were out of timeouts long before the two-minute warning, rendering their chances futile after a failed fourth-down pass.

Kaiir Elam, who had an interception earlier, broke up the pass and Buffalo was able to exhaust the rest of the clock.
There was a delay after a third-down Bills play when Buffalo was credited with a first down.
After a lengthy review, the call stood and the Bills now get to play another home game in the Divisional Round against either Jacksonville or Cincinnati.
Thompson was 18-of-45 for 220 yards with a TD and 2 interceptions.
Josh Allen was 23-of-39 for 352 yards for the Bills.
