The Buffalo Bills went into the bag of tricks and outfoxed the master, Bill Belichick, in the waning seconds of the first half Saturday for a touchdown that tied the game with the Patriots at 10-10.
Two plays after the Bills appeared to have scored a touchdown, a review declared tight end Dawson Knox was short of the goal line. Sean McDermott eschewed the field goal with six seconds left in favor of trickeration.
Dion Dawkins, a 6-foot-5, 320-pound tackle from Temple, checked in as eligible and Josh Allen found the big guy all alone in the end zone.
The PAT tied the critical AFC East battle in Foxboro as the teams went to the half.
This was the second TD reception of Dawkins’ career. He had a 7-yarder from Matt Barkley for a score in 2018.
