Tyler Bass sent the Buffalo Bills into the win column against the Miami Dolphins in Week 9 and sent waves across the NFL in the process.
The Bills (7-2) defeated the Dolphins (2-6) on Sunday. The 30-27 final came down to Bass’ right foot.
Despite missing an extra point in the outing, the Bills sent Bass out on the field with 10 seconds left to attempt a 61-yard field goal. From the moment it left his foot, it was never in doubt.
When Bass connected on that boot, the Bills and their kicker caught attention from across the NFL world.

The Bills are now 7-2, and the four-time reigning division champs have opened a four-game lead on the rest of the division.
Buffalo also scores the sweep of the Dolphins.
