The Dolphins defense scored an awesome big-man TD after a wild strip sack of Josh Allen

Josh Allen Dolphins Bills Christian Wilkins Miami Zach Sieler Miami Dolphins

No one in their right mind expected the Miami Dolphins to put up much of a fight on Sunday afternoon. Especially with third-stringer Skylar Thompson entrenched as the starter. That is, no one except the Dolphins, who used the aftermath of a fight between Josh Allen and Christian Wilkins as a spark to regain momentum.

After Miami, somewhat inexplicably for a massive and shorthanded underdog, fought back from a 17-0 deficit, it kept coming in the second half. And on a first-down play on the Bills’ first possession of the third quarter, the Dolphins’ Eric Rowe sacked Josh Allen, forcing a fumble.

In the ensuing madness, as everyone on the field scrambled for the ball, Miami’s Zach Sieler — a listed 304-pound man — wound up scooping and scoring to give his team an unthinkable 24-20 lead. (Let’s also not forget that Tony Romo had a pre-play jinx.)

Just a bonkers play all around for a very large human being:

The fumble was Allen’s third turnover of the afternoon. In a game where all the Bills likely had to do was play their game and show up, the only thing that would’ve kept the Dolphins hanging around was a sloppy spate of Allen turnovers. And that’s precisely what happened for a quarterback who had 18 giveaways (!) in the regular season.

It’s pretty much a developing worst-case scenario for the Bills in their playoff opener.
