The Buffalo Bills came back in the second half to defeat the Miami Dolphins 21-14 and win the AFC East.
The Bills are currently the No. 2 seed in the AFC, but the Dolphins will move to the No. 6 seed in a brutal move that requires them to travel to Kansas City to play the No. 3 Chiefs.
If Buffalo wins next week against the Pittsburgh Steelers, it will host two playoff games at home.

The game started with great defense from both teams, with three interceptions on the first four drives before scoring.
First, it was Tua Tagovailoa who was targeting Tyreek Hill on a deep ball to the left when Buffalo's substitute Christian Benford pulled a pass.
But Josh Allen got the Bills back with a dominant drive, and Eli Apple won on a third-and-goal in the end zone from Miami's own 5-yard line. He finished with no points on the 6-minute, 45-second drive.
After another pass from Allen was intercepted, the Dolphins finally scored points on a methodical drive of their own.
Devon Ashen, the speedy rookie running back who has added a lethal offensive weapon to Mike McDaniel's offense this season, forced several Bills defenders to miss on his 25-yard touchdown run. But just like his interception streak, his touchdowns started to add up.
The Bills responded to Aschen's score, but in the weirdest way possible.

On an RPO play, Allen pulled the ball from the Miami 6-yard line to second-and-goal and decided to hit Trent Sherfield on a diagonal. However, the ball hit the offensive line and went airborne.
However, no one other than Sherfield saw the ball fly into the air, but he tracked it while keeping both feet in bounds, leaving everyone at Hard Rock Stadium perplexed.
The Dolphins hate losing leads, and Tagovailoa used Hill to quickly get down the field and score a touchdown to make it 14-7. Hill was targeted on a quick out route near the goal line, and after bringing it in, the speedster performed a celebratory backflip in the end zone.
The Bills had a poor start to the second half after a punt on their first drive was followed by a wild fumble recovery by Dolphins defensive tackle Christian Wilkins, but Wilkins missed Allen's hand during the drive. I just stole the ball from him.

But the momentum quickly shifted when Deonte Harty punted for the Dolphins on the ensuing 96-yard drive home to tie the game. The tie wasn't enough, but the Bills got a three-and-out and took advantage of it to take their first lead of the night.
Allen was active downfield, setting up a first-and-goal from Miami's own 3-yard line, with rookie tight ends Dalton Kincaid gaining 26 yards and Khalil Shakir gaining 28 yards.
Two plays later, Dawson Knox crossed the goal line and scored from five yards left for a 21-14 lead.
The Dolphins had a chance after a two-minute warning with 1:53 remaining after stuffing Allen with a fourth-and-1 opportunity. But once again Tagovailoa threw a terrible interception, this time seeing Taylor Rapp target Chase Claypool all the way.
