LARAMIE, Wyoming (11/5/24) – Buffalo kicker Tyler Bass had struggled for the majority of this season coming into Sunday’s game against Miami. The mishaps continued during the game with a missed extra point and another that went off the upright and in.

However, when Bass needed a kick, and it was a long one at that, he got it. He nailed a 61-yard field goal with five seconds remaining to give the Bills a 30-27 victory that improved them to 7-2 on the year.

The win preserved what was a very stout game from quarterback Josh Allen. The former University of Wyoming quarterback was 25-for-39 for 235 yards with three touchdowns and one interception.

For the season, Allen is 168-for-262 for 2,001 yards with 17 touchdowns and just two picks. On the ground, he’s carried it 47 times for 211 yards and three scores.

Buffalo travels to Indianapolis in Week 10.
