00:00Bills history, and there is Thurman, Pro Football Hall of Famer, who, like many of the Bills, stays around the area and is here on hand tonight.
00:12So it's a two-possession game. Bills go for two. We've seen teams do that often, going for two the first time around, especially with this much time on the clock, just so you know what you need to do the rest of the game.
00:25Ali with the return, and he's got a seam, and he takes it across the 35 to the 36-yard line. Chris, let's go back to that two-point play, and almost a boneheaded play by Walter.
00:36Yeah, let's bring in Terry, because once he lateraled the ball back into the end zone, if he had taken a knee or just gotten tackled, that is a safety in one point, right, Terry?
00:47Absolutely, Chris. Once the entire ball gets out of the end zone, it's now on him. He puts it back in with the backward pass.
00:55Luckily, Van Nooy came into the field of play and went down on one knee, rather than doing it in the end zone.
01:00The veteran figured it out.
01:03We haven't had a play like that in NFL history that anybody can recall, where it would be one point, because the possession was on the defense and then back in the end zone.
01:12In any case, the pass incomplete intended for Zay Flowers.
01:15And, Chris, you've mentioned a few times Zay Flowers not being in the playoff game.
01:20Just in that third quarter, 39, 23, and 36-yard completions, Jackson to Flowers.
01:27Well, and the reason it was so significant is because the Buffalo Bills did a great job with their man coverage and taking that extra guy to take away Derrick Henry.
01:36And that was the reason his not being there, because he is the man-to-man specialist.
01:40He would have been a very difficult cover for this Bills team.
01:47Huge first half for Henry.
01:49Held a check in the rushing game the second half.
01:51That ball ruled a catch for Hill.
01:53And nine yards, one shot of the first down to the 44-yard line.
01:58Naquan Jones helping to go back and make the stop.
02:00The other thing I remember about that playoff game is Justice Hill.
02:05That was down.
02:06I thought it was down.
02:07We'll see if Replay Assist will take care of that.
02:11And they will.
02:12After assistance from Replay, the ruling on the field is an incomplete pass.
02:20I love Replay Assist.
02:21It's a 12-37, please.
02:2412-37.
02:27Clear and obvious.
02:29So Replay Assist does it.
02:31Don't have to challenge.
02:32And now the challenge from the Bills fans for third and ten.
02:36Buffalo bringing forward, leaving a spy on Jackson, who's in trouble.
02:54Gets away.
02:55Escaping.
02:56Got a lot of room.
02:57There he goes.
02:59First down, Lamar.
03:00Much more.
03:01Across midfield.
03:02To the 46-yard line.
03:04Takes a heavy hit, but 19 yards.
03:09I mean, I honestly don't know what to do with this guy.
03:14That is a sack for every quarterback almost that's ever played that position.
03:19And not only is it not a sack, it turns into one of the most spectacular plays of the weekend.
03:25He does it all the time, though.
03:26I mean, you want to know why these two guys are the 1-2 and the MVP voting?
03:32There you go.
03:33Wow.
03:34Gain in 19, probably right about 60 on that play.
03:37And here goes Henry.
03:39Quiet in the second half.
03:40Not anymore!
03:42Henry, another touchdown!
03:43Touchdown!
03:47He only had six yards in the second half after the huge first half.
03:52But now he's got 175 on the night and two touchdowns.
03:56Here's the problem.
03:57Here's the problem.
04:02Taylor raps about a 4-7 guy when he's running, and Derrick Henry is faster, bigger, and he just simply pulls away from the Buffalo Bills' safety.
04:13That was part of the reason they tried to get Cole Bishop in to add a little element of speed, but the play by Lamar Jackson was the backbreaker.
04:22It just took all the spirit out of the Bills' defense, and right on top of it, they go for another pitch.
04:29First doink of the season, Chris.
04:34That one no good for Luke.
04:36Won't be the last.
04:37It will not be.
04:38It keeps it a 15-point game on a night of big plays.
04:44Yet another one for Derrick Henry.
04:46Two more touchdowns against Buffalo.
04:53Derrick Henry on the night up to 175 yards, so that is game 7 over 150 past age 30.
05:02And that's Derrick Henry and Walter Payton.
05:04That's it.
05:04Sweetness in the hall, and King Henry will be there, too.
05:12Joining a lot of football greatness with some health and continued success this year.
05:18Brendan Codrington's return shy of the 30-yard line at the 28.
05:23Buffalo will take over there, down 15, 11.35 to go.
05:27You know, and this isn't rare what Baltimore is doing.
05:29They had 29 run plays of 20-plus yards a season ago,
05:33and we just had back-to-back.
05:35I mean, they were backed up in their own zone, right?
05:38Yes.
05:38And the Marro's running the wrong way.
05:40All of a sudden, he's out at the 50, and then, you know, Derrick did the rest.
05:44And that is out of those two numbers you just saw there.
05:47That's out of 42 total plays.
05:49The Ravens are averaging almost 10 yards per play here tonight.
05:55Allen's got to go to work here with the Bills.
05:57They're doing it on the sideline with Keon Coleman.
06:00Gets up very close to the first down, just shy of it, at the 37-yard line.
06:06Baltimore the first to serve up a 40-burger this year, scoring 40 points.
06:10But, Chrissy, in the last year, their last four regular season games was 35, 34, 31, 35.
06:16They're just picking up where they left off.
06:19I mean, it is magical to watch these two offenses.
06:22And the hard part is I've seen both coordinators with the Rolodex out
06:28and just spinning up defenses and trying everything possible.
06:33Sometimes the other guys are just better.
06:3543 for the four-man rush.
06:42Rollins throws, that intercepted.
06:44Terrific job going down to get it.
06:48And, yes, it is ruled a pick for Chidabay Awuzie.
06:53Ruled on the field, an interception.
06:54Let's check it at replay, though.
07:03I don't think so.
07:04Automatically reviewed, as it was called, an INT on the field.
07:12When he's laying on top of the ball there.
07:14After the review, the ruling on the field is an incomplete pass.
07:20It's just too much of the ball.
07:22Even though Terry, it's in contact with his body,
07:25he doesn't have control of it when it's against the ground, does he?
07:28No, Mike.
07:29He never got control before the ball hit the ground.
07:31Absolutely incomplete.
07:32Good play.
07:35Chris, that could be a big part in pickup of this defense this year
07:38with the veteran Awuzie.
07:39I mean, if those two guys stay healthy,
07:41Jairie Alexander and Awuzie stay healthy
07:44and can play all the way through the season,
07:46absolutely.
07:47Nate Wiggins, Marlon Humphrey,
07:50all the corners as well.
07:51So, incompletion, second and ten.
07:54Allen escaping.
07:56He's got some room to run here.
07:58And Josh Allen to the slide down.
08:01The mark of the slide actually has him short of the first down.
08:04Now, he knows it, too.
08:08So, it'll be third and one.
08:09Inside game, Ray Davis has to bounce up the flags down.
08:24And if Allen, by sliding early, didn't pick up the first down,
08:27and now Buffalo's going to be backed up to third and long.
08:29Go back and look at the slide.
08:39It is where the ball is when the slide begins.
08:43Nope, let's look at that.
08:44He's going forward, actually, here on this.
08:46Let's see.
08:49Terry,
08:50that body part comes down right at the line, doesn't it?
08:54Exactly.
08:54It's where theā€”it's the front of the football
08:56when the body part touches the ground,
08:59and it's clearly beyond the line, right there.
09:01It's clearly beyond the line.
09:02This should have been a first down.
09:03Missed the spot by about a yard on the field.
09:05Now, we have anotherā€”
09:06Should have been challenged.
09:07Sorry, Terry.
09:07We had another flag thrown down here
09:09after the penalty was being walked off.
09:11Holding.
09:12Offense number 73.
09:14Ten-yard penalty from the previous spot.
09:16Third down.
09:17Okay, they were just moving the flag back
09:19to where the penalty occurred.
09:22So, Deion Dawkins calls for the hole
09:24to take it back to third down.
09:26Terry, how tough is that play
09:29for the officials to spot the ball
09:31as it's going 10 yards downfield
09:33after the Allen run?
09:35It is difficult, Mike.
09:37He's following the play,
09:38but they'veā€”you know, they've done this for years.
09:41They should be able to get a little bit better
09:43than a yard away from it.
09:46Right.
09:48So now it's third and 11.
09:51And Allen in trouble, and he goes down.
09:54And he's sacked for the first time.
10:01Namde Matabike, who had 8 1ā„2 last year,
10:046 1ā„2, I should say,
10:05gets his first of this year,
10:06and the Bills will punt.
10:08Yeah, he had 13 sacks back in 23,
10:11and really was a big sensation in the league.
10:13And you can see that kind of movement, skill,
10:16and strength to go along with it.
10:18When those defensive tackles come from inside out,
10:21bang into the tackle,
10:22and bounce right to the quarterback,
10:24very difficult to stop.
10:28Robbins kick.
10:31Baltimore yelling at everybody,
10:32get away on that short punt by Robbins.
10:35And Buffalo will take over at,
10:38or Baltimore should say,
10:38take over at the 35.
10:40Buffalo gets nothing out of a drive.
10:42They had to have it.
10:43And they're down 15.
10:48We've seen this movie before.
10:50We saw the week four Derrick Henry
10:52dominance against the Bills,
10:54and a similar act,
10:55even more explosive runs in this one.
10:5714 carries 175 yards.
11:00It's insane.
11:01Three 30-plus-yard runs in this game
11:05for the first time in his terrific career.
11:09Adding to it here.
11:11He's built for it, that's for sure.
11:12I can remember the first time
11:14I saw some of these workouts
11:15that Derrick Henry was doing,
11:17and you just go,
11:18oh, that's why he's going to the Hall of Fame,
11:21and I never did.
11:22I mean, look at the work alone
11:24he does going up this hill.
11:26He's not just going up,
11:27he's making cuts back and forth,
11:29dragging whatever that is behind him.
11:30And finally making it up to the hill.
11:33So running past Raph is a piece of cake.
11:36It's not on a hill.
11:38I don't know how you could be more impressed
11:41with two football players.
11:43The combination of Lamar Jackson
11:44and Derrick Henry almost not fair.
11:48Here, stop for a loss, too.
11:52As Daquan Jones is there
11:53to bring up third and long.
11:54And when we asked him yesterday
11:55about his workouts,
11:57anything changing now
11:58that you're 31 years old?
11:59He said, no, didn't change.
12:01No reason to.
12:02He said, if anything,
12:03I added more of the hills.
12:06And from a nutrition standpoint,
12:08there's some intermittent fasting
12:09that he does along the way.
12:10Whatever he's doing,
12:12shame on us for not following.
12:13We're going to start it next week, man.
12:15I'm telling you.
12:16You sure?
12:16Yeah.
12:16Okay.
12:17What time?
12:18Jim in Minnesota on Friday?
12:20Ask for a list.
12:21Okay.
12:23Third and eight.
12:25Flag down here.
12:26And they'll kill the play.
12:30It'll be third and 13.
12:32I mean, it's almost, though.
12:33I want...
12:35False start.
12:37Offense number 16.
12:39Five-yard penalty.
12:40Third down.
12:42I just wonder how many teams
12:44in the AFC
12:45are sitting at home
12:46watching this game
12:47going, uh-oh.
12:49You know?
12:49I mean, seriously,
12:50this is a pretty dominant performance
12:54against one of the top teams
12:55in the league
12:56in their place.
12:59And you could just feel
13:01the frustration of the Ravens
13:04when we were talking to them
13:05about this playoff game
13:07a season ago.
13:09You know?
13:09It was just...
13:10They ate at them
13:11for the entire offseason.
13:14And they're paying it back now.
13:16Third and 13.
13:17Another flag down.
13:19And Zay Flowers
13:20is down shy.
13:22First down to check
13:23the marker on the far side.
13:35Six penalties, Baltimore.
13:37Four on Buffalo.
13:38One area the Ravens need to cut down on.
13:44Legal motion.
13:46Offense number four.
13:48That penalty is declined.
13:51Fourth down.
13:52So it's on Flowers.
13:53Yeah.
13:54They let you get away with a little bit,
13:56but not a lot of bit.
13:57And you're gonna see Flowers turn up
13:59towards the line of scrimmage,
14:01get a little jump on the route.
14:02Literally a foul.
14:06So the Bills do get the ball back
14:08with half the quarter left
14:09at a two-score game.
14:11So still alive,
14:12but obviously needs some special stuff to happen.
14:15A good number of folks have left
14:17here at Highmark Stadium.
14:20See if Brandon Codrington can
14:25give the Bills good field position
14:27as Jordan Stout
14:28will kick it here
14:30for the second time.
14:40Codrington going over for a look.
14:43Thought about it a lot.
14:45Should have grabbed it.
14:46Ravens down it at the one.
14:51Simpson, oh, touchback.
14:52He did get to the line.
14:56If you try to down the ball
14:58and slide into the line,
15:00that is a touchback.
15:04His number 32 slid into the end zone
15:07and touched the white line.
15:08Therefore, it's a touchback.
15:10It's a really poor play.
15:12I mean, at that point,
15:13you just have to knock it back off the line
15:15when you allow yourself
15:16to slide into the end zone.
15:18Any part of your body
15:20or that ball touches the line.
15:22That's it.
15:23And just one glove.
15:24One finger, one glove
15:26getting there.
15:27And you just don't anticipate
15:29how far you're going to slide
15:30when you try to dive on that ball.
15:33But you've just got to tap it back.
15:38So, plus 19 yards for the Bills
15:41and they start it at the 20.
15:42And Allen looking for something downfield.
15:47Coleman comes down
15:48and makes the catch.
15:50Great job going up to get a game.
15:5221.
15:54That was one of those
15:55perfect throwing motions right there.
15:57And that is what they can do
15:59on the outside for Josh Allen.
16:02Keon Coleman, that is his play right there.
16:07Allen trying to get out of there.
16:09Escapes.
16:12And uses the fake and the pump
16:14to get a whole bunch of yards on the ground
16:15and get close to another first down.
16:19Mark about the 47-yard lock.
16:21Let's go back and watch Josh Allen
16:23throwing to his left to Keon Coleman.
16:26This was a throw he really struggled with
16:28when he was coming out of college.
16:30Anything off to his left,
16:32he trained a long time
16:33to really open up his hips
16:35and get better at that.
16:37But the continued improvement
16:38of what he has done
16:40with his fundamentals
16:40of throwing the ball,
16:42he was not that accurate a guy
16:43when he was in college.
16:49Throwing in the middle here,
16:50Joshua Palmer.
16:53Three-yard line.
16:54And a first down for Buffalo.
16:566.05 to go.
16:57Down 15.
16:58And all three timeouts.
16:59So, still alive here
17:02if they can get it in the end zone.
17:042-0, 2-0.
17:06All right, Eddie, let's check.
17:10One knockdown.
17:13On the inside.
17:17I mean, they finally,
17:19the best part about that incomplete pass,
17:21it allowed those exhausted defensive linemen
17:23to get off the field.
17:25I mean,
17:25they were barely able to create a push
17:28and in part because of that,
17:29they were able to get their hands up
17:31and knock one down.
17:32But as soon as that ball was knocked down,
17:34they all turned and ran for the sideline.
17:37Full-fledged line change.
17:38Yes, they did.
17:39And the Sabre season doesn't start
17:41for about a month.
17:43They were coming over the boards.
17:45Second and ten.
17:45All right, Eddie, let's check.
17:49Now unprotected inside throat.
17:54Seven-yard line with Keon Coleman.
17:55That's catch number five tonight
17:58for the second-year man.
18:01The 29 all of last season.
18:04Still plenty of time here,
18:06and they just have to make a play.
18:08They need to score something right here
18:10and make one defensive stop
18:12before this game's over.
18:14But that has seemed to be almost impossible.
18:16Well left.
18:17You guys hear that.
18:20Nothing.
18:21Nothing.
18:21I got you, Mr. Shadow.
18:23I need him.
18:23I learned it.
18:24I learned it.
18:25Zero, zero, zero.
18:26Come here.
18:29Omaha's it.
18:32After all that,
18:33Allen to the sideline,
18:35incomplete for the flag.
18:38Right back to Coleman
18:39in front of Nate Wiggins.
18:41That six-foot-three frame of Coleman
18:43factor on this drive.
18:47Pass interference.
18:49Defense number two.
18:50Ball, he plays the spot of the foul.
18:53Automatic.
18:54First down.
18:56And Nate Wiggins runs a 4-2-8.
18:58He does not have to worry about Coleman going by him,
19:02which is why you're seeing him almost in a fist fight
19:05with every step of the way going down the field.
19:08He's not worried about the deep ball.
19:10He's worried about that one thrown behind him,
19:12that back shoulder.
19:13What is that?
19:16I learned it.
19:17I learned it.
19:18Run out, run out, run out.
19:21I learned it.
19:21What's that?
19:2229-yard line.
19:25Five coming.
19:26It's a Kincaid.
19:27He's got a first down inside the 20.
19:31Clock stopped at 4-59.
19:33It's just a different offense.
19:35It really is when Dalton Kincaid's in the lineup and healthy.
19:38It was a little hard to watch this offense without him.
19:42He could play, but he wasn't the same guy that he was,
19:46for the most part, early in his career and early in that season.
19:49Take her.
19:50Go to zero.
19:52Yeah.
19:55One, two, three, two.
19:56Fifth trip to the red zone.
19:57Bills have scored the prior four times.
20:00Allen looking end zone for Palmer.
20:02Bills have scored the third step away.
20:09I think every quarterback and every receiver will agree
20:12the hardest thing that they do is to hesitate and go
20:17and trying to time that throw up.
20:19Because it's different.
20:22You know, everybody's used to flying off the ball
20:25and getting down the field,
20:27but when you're in the red zone to go hesitate and go,
20:29it's like an opportunity to throw a go route.
20:31Right.
20:32When you don't have the space for it.
20:34It's just the timing of it is so hard.
20:36Hey, rear mount, rear mount, rear mount.
20:40All right, Eddie, let's get it.
20:41Six and ten.
20:44And Allen lofting in.
20:46Johnson couldn't bring it in.
20:49Ty Johnson with Teddy Buchanan, that rookie,
20:51the fourth-round pick out of Cal,
20:53in coverage.
20:55And you cannot throw a football better than that.
20:59It is absolutely perfect, pretty good coverage
21:02to his best receiving back coming out of the backfield,
21:06and Ty Johnson's going to catch that almost every time.
21:10That is a huge miss.
21:12He's going to bring up third and ten,
21:16obviously given the scoreboard situation,
21:19four-down territory for Buffalo.
21:20Run out, run out, run out, run out.
21:22We're good, we're good, we're good.
21:25All right, Eddie, let's go.
21:27Raven bringing four.
21:29It's thrown underneath.
21:30Palmer spinning.
21:32Very close to the first down.
21:34Keep the clock moving and rule him,
21:39let's see, two yards shy.
21:41It's fourth and long one, short two.
21:44I think you're going to see a spread-out formation,
21:48and depending on what they do on the back-end coverage,
21:50you'll either see Josh run the football here,
21:55or if they're just one-on-one,
21:57he'll pick and choose who he likes.
22:01Clock down to 4-12.
22:02The Bills got to have this fourth and two.
22:11Trying to spread out.
22:13And two Ravens pursuing,
22:15and Allen throws deflected,
22:17and caught by Coleman on the tip for six.
22:23And the Bills remain alive.
22:30Have you ever seen a football game like this
22:32before?
22:33Not week one.
22:34I mean, you feel like you're in an arcade or something,
22:36or playing Madden?
22:37I don't even know how to describe this stuff.
22:39Ball's getting tipped and flying around,
22:42quarterbacks running around like crazy people,
22:44nobody can catch them.
22:46Derrick Henry running up and down the field.
22:48And so this time down nine,
22:52Buffalo will go for one and try to make it a one-score game with three timeouts.
22:58Trying to do what's been really hard,
22:59stop the Ravens.
23:01Crater gets the extra point,
23:03and we have a one-score game here in Orchard Park.
23:08The Bills had to have Keyon Coleman come up with a big year.
23:14He is the guy they drafted a season ago.
23:17He's just going to keep competing here,
23:19gets to the back line,
23:20stays focused on it,
23:22the ball's tipped around,
23:23and he makes a diving catch.
23:26And Sean McDermott was telling us about Coleman
23:29when we visited with him on Friday.
23:32Maybe the guy who's grown the most on the team,
23:34he really had a plan when he left here.
23:36He was not up here during the offseason,
23:38but they kept getting videos of the work he was doing,
23:41and when he got here once the minicamp started,
23:43he came back with ability, maturity,
23:46and he comes up with a touchdown here
23:49to make it a one-possession game.
23:53I wonder if John Harbaugh is sitting over there going,
23:56what do we have to do to put these guys away?
23:59I'm so impressed with the Buffalo Bills.
24:02It just has never felt like they were really in the game,
24:06and yet they're hanging around,
24:07and it's an eight-point game right now.
24:10Anything can happen from here.
24:19Ali and Hilda have been kicking to Ali most of the night,
24:22takes it from the four,
24:25runs into a wall, brought down Shai,
24:28the 30-yard line by Dorian Williams.
24:31The guys on the top of the marquee
24:34have been as advertised.
24:37Better.
24:38Better?
24:39Better.
24:39All right, go ahead.
24:40You got it.
24:40I mean, you know,
24:42you take either one of these guys off of these two teams,
24:46and, I mean, basically,
24:48they've changed the face of the game.
24:51This is not a drop-back, throw-from-the-pocket league anymore
24:55with these two guys leading the way.
24:57And Lamar's going to take it in his own hands
24:59and slide inbounds to keep that clock turning
25:02and immediately get a first down of the 41-yard line.
25:06I mean, I want you to watch the edge player here.
25:12How many different things are presented in front of him?
25:15I mean, it simply is one guy is unblocked,
25:19and he has people going in three different directions,
25:22and there's just no way that you can keep up with what that is.
25:26Zaire Mitchell-Payden, first-year player, I should say,
25:34is the man protecting, and Henry lost the football!
25:38And the Bills are down there!
25:41And they have it!
25:47He's having an unbelievable night,
25:49but stopped behind the line,
25:51the ball punched out,
25:53and Terrell Bernard comes up with it!
25:56Guess who?
25:59Ed Oliver, again,
26:01going to end up making the play here,
26:04punching that thing out,
26:05and now 25,000 Bills fans
26:08are trying to get back in the stadium.
26:14He's had some kind of night, Oliver.
26:16Oh, my goodness.
26:18There are so many guys who've had a great night tonight.
26:22Ed Oliver has made the Pro Bowl tonight.
26:26So the Bills will take over at the 30-yard line.
26:30They've already scored 13 points in this fourth quarter.
26:34And a chance with a touch and a two to tie the game.
26:37Allen, taking a shot down the field!
26:53It's hauled in!
26:55Kick, and that's the third tight end, Jackson Hawes!
26:58The rookie out of Georgia Tech,
27:01his first ever catch!
27:03Brings it to the one!
27:07Bills get right on the ball!
27:12Allen, his top drive to go right!
27:16Keeps furrowing and is stopped!
27:18Jackson Hawes, fifth-round pick out of Georgia Tech.
27:23First five years, he was at Yale.
27:26He's the blocker.
27:27He's the blocker in this offense
27:29and makes the play on a second bounce.
27:34Mike, this game is nuts.
27:36This thing goes to overtime.
27:38It'll be one of the all-time all-timers.
27:44Closing in on the two-minute warning.
27:46Second and goal.
27:47One-eighty, we've got it!
27:51Give, hook, left side, fighting for the goal line!
27:55Ruled short.
27:57Ruled short, and we've got the two-minute warning.
28:00Oh, my goodness.
28:04So it will be third and goal from about a foot away.
28:08Remember, Buffalo needs a two-point conversion
28:10along with a touchdown to tie the game.
28:14After the game's first turnover,
28:17in stunning fashion.
28:20I mean, the Buffalo Bills,
28:22we talked about the Detroit Lions,
28:24we've talked about grit,
28:25we've talked about hard-nosed football players.
28:28The fact that the Bills have just hung in there in this game, right?
28:35All you could do.
28:36I mean, everything that Lamar and Derek was doing on the offensive side,
28:42there was no reason to believe.
28:43And then you hang in long enough, you get that one break finally,
28:47and here you are on the doorstep of tying this thing up.
28:51And you've got a bunch of what-ifs.
28:54The Bills took a point off the board, went for two,
28:56and Keon Coleman had a foot out of bounds and was the first to touch.
29:00They lost that.
29:01Tyler Loop doinked an extra point off the upright.
29:05So we've had both ways points that you thought were going to happen,
29:10not happen.
29:11So we sit on eight points here at the two-minute warning.
29:17Buffalo, a couple of shots to get a touchdown.
29:26Reaches over the pylon, over the goal line for the touchdown.
29:31Broke the plane just by jumping and using that six-foot-five frame,
29:37and now they go for two to try to tie this game.
29:42Everybody does the same thing on these quarterback sneaks.
29:46They try to submarine underneath, and that time Josh Allen right over the top.
29:53That's a pretty cool wrinkle to that, right?
29:55With everybody going down there.
29:56They've got some play that they have practiced almost every day in training camp,
30:02and we're about to see it.
30:03The most important play, the most practiced play that the Bills have in their arsenal.
30:08Here it is.
30:11The throw to Coleman is broken up by Nate Wiggins.
30:18Game certainly not over.
30:20Three timeouts, minute 58, multiple options on what Buffalo wants to do,
30:24but Wiggins keeps them from tying it.
30:28Remember we were talking about the battle they had down the field?
30:31Look at that.
30:32It wasn't even started, and Wiggins is looking back in the backfield.
30:37He knew the ball was coming.
30:39It was one-on-one opportunities, and he was there to make a huge play.
30:43It's not over.
30:46This is plenty of time, plenty of timeouts.
30:50And you were talking about the play you want to get to.
30:52Do you like getting to that play?
30:55I wasn't crazy about where it was thrown.
30:58I know it was a bit of a back shoulder,
31:00but you've got a big size advantage right there for Keon Coleman,
31:06and, you know, it was sort of thrown body high.
31:10Buffalo 0 for 3 on two-point conversions.
31:12They only tried one last year and converted it.
31:15I had three in this first game.
31:16Now they choose not to go for the declared onside kick here,
31:20and they're going to kick it off with three timeouts.
31:22Absolutely.
31:23Absolutely.
31:301.58 to go.
31:34I think Derrick Henry's going to get a chance to make a bend.
31:38Justice Hill and Ali wait.
31:40He'll be returned again.
31:41It's Ali from the sixth.
31:45Big hit.
31:46Bounces off and stays alive.
31:49Good tough running for Keon Ali to keep this going at the 31-yard line
31:53where Baltimore will take over with 1.51
31:55in all three Buffalo timeouts.
32:00Well, you know, for the Buffalo Bills, what they're going to do now,
32:03they're going to have to stack the line of scrimmage
32:05and take away the run
32:06and just hope somebody can make a play
32:09if, in fact, they throw the football.
32:12If they stop them with three downs,
32:15Bills can still get the ball back
32:17with about a minute 27 or so left.
32:25Crowd on the line.
32:27Henry's got it.
32:28Gary Russo over there.
32:31You see McDermott streaking toward the official
32:34to get the timeout at 1.45.
32:38So these multiple conversions as you go through the night
32:41and play the game out, here they are.
32:45These all two-point tries.
32:47Yeah, I think this was the key on Coleman
32:49stepping out of the back of the end zone.
32:50That did not count.
32:52Loss of down.
32:53Wiggins again there to make that play.
32:56And then again, Allen on the move,
32:58throws it to Kyle Hamilton,
32:59who almost threw it back for one point
33:01for Buffalo because he threw it back to a teammate.
33:04And then the last one a moment ago with Coleman.
33:06Now we're off second and nine coming up.
33:13And there may be folks who left,
33:16but those who are here are being heard.
33:18He's just Hill is there in the backfield.
33:24It's Flowers to the edge.
33:25He goes down, knowing not to go out of bounds.
33:29Matt Milano was there.
33:30Timeout Buffalo, 1.39 to go.
33:34Wow.
33:35They're going to have a chance.
33:37They are one play away
33:39from getting the ball back
33:41and only needing a field goal
33:43to win this football game.
33:46With a guy who just got here Thursday,
33:48Matt Prater.
33:51Crazy.
33:52This would be one of the gutsiest comebacks
33:53I think I've ever seen.
33:55Honestly.
33:56I mean, for this team,
33:58they've got to be exhausted.
34:00They've been chasing these guys up and down the field.
34:03And now here they are, one play.
34:06They need one play.
34:07Does the ball leave the hands of Lamar Jackson?
34:12I think you've got to throw the ball
34:15and try to win this thing right now.
34:19Lamar Jackson has to have it in his hands,
34:22but whether he throws it or runs it.
34:26Play clock running down.
34:27Jackson with direct communication
34:30to DeAndre Hopkins.
34:33They need to get to the 41.
34:37Flowers in motion.
34:40The Bills bring a blitz.
34:42And the throw is caught,
34:43but stuck shy of the first down.
34:45On the tackle by Christian Bedford.
34:48Hopkins is down to the 38.
34:50And Buffalo will get the ball back.
34:52Unless they decide to go.
34:58I'm going to say that you've got choices to make everywhere here.
35:02Your defense hasn't exactly been stopping the Buffalo Bills either.
35:06But they're in field goal range if they get stopped here, right?
35:09I got you.
35:11But you also have three timeouts on your side, too.
35:14You do, to get the ball back.
35:15Yeah.
35:19It is fourth and three,
35:21and it is Brandon Codrington going back.
35:26Jordan Stout to kick it.
35:28I have to play the fake first.
35:39Codrington's a tough time feeling these kicks.
35:42And Stout's done a nice job to keep it out of his hands.
35:44The Bills will get a ball back around the 20.
35:47The whistles you hear,
35:48there's just two gunners going after each other here
35:51and blocking,
35:52but that is all cleaned up.
35:54No fouls.
35:54Here comes Josh Allen.
35:56But first, a reminder,
35:57Chevrolet postgame ahead.
35:59Melissa with the stars of the game
36:00will look ahead to next Sunday night in Minnesota
36:02coming up right after the game.
36:05So,
36:06for a stadium that is seeing its 53rd and final season
36:11and has seen a lot of magical moments,
36:14this one would be right up there with any other.
36:18The Bills look down and out
36:20on this opening night.
36:22They were down 15 a short time ago,
36:25have rallied,
36:26and now a field goal could win it.
36:31Josh Allen starts from the 20.
36:34Underneath,
36:35brought in for six,
36:36Michael Shagir,
36:38Buffalo,
36:39no timeouts.
36:43Matt Prater in this direction,
36:45warming up,
36:45made a 53-yarder,
36:47so thinking about getting it.
36:48Another 40 yards.
36:55Allen swinging sideline brought in by Coleman.
36:59Seventh catch of the night for Keon Coleman.
37:02First down,
37:02Buffalo with a minute to go.
37:06Talking about looking like an MVP right now,
37:09Josh Allen looks in complete control.
37:11Just short drive-starting completions
37:17to get this thing going.
37:18Plenty of time for him.
37:24Allen gets away from the rush.
37:25He's got some space.
37:27He's going to take off
37:28and get out of bounds.
37:30Right around the 38,
37:31Roquan Smith
37:32was there hoping to hit him
37:35before he got to the sideline.
37:36That used seven seconds.
37:37And it's a good thing
37:39that Josh Allen's as big as he is
37:41because he continued forward on the play
37:43and didn't get knocked backwards,
37:45which would have ended up stopping the clock.
37:53Receivers are Palmer,
37:54Shakir,
37:55and Coleman.
37:56Go to zero, go to zero.
38:01Go to zero.
38:02Go there, you missed.
38:03You missed.
38:05Hey, go prison, go prison.
38:08I've got movement there.
38:10No running clock,
38:11so no 10-second runoff.
38:13Mike, what happened that time?
38:16Let the call be made.
38:18False start.
38:20Offense number 73.
38:22Five-yard penalty.
38:23Second down.
38:24They were up there
38:25at the line of scrimmage
38:26and making the call
38:27and there was silence.
38:29And then Josh saw something
38:30and got excited
38:31and he said,
38:31gold standard, go.
38:32And his offensive lineman
38:34that time,
38:34Deion Dawkins,
38:35ends up jumping
38:36because of the excited nature
38:39of the way that Josh Allen
38:40made that call.
38:42So you lose five,
38:43it's back to second and 10.
38:44Ram out, ram out.
38:45Ram out, ram out.
38:46Hey, alert it, alert it.
38:47Come on, come on, come on.
38:48Come on, come on, come on.
38:49There you go.
38:50Round one.
38:51Over high, set.
38:52Dawson knocks in motion.
38:54Allen unloading, throwing.
38:56That's Palmer!
38:58Out of bounds at the 35!
39:00They're in field goal range!
39:02Remarkable!
39:11Just absolutely zipped that throw in there.
39:14That was from the first quarter
39:16when he came out
39:17with that almost angry look.
39:19There's only a handful of quarterbacks
39:21in this league
39:22that could have made that throw
39:23right there.
39:23And now Baltimore
39:24has to start thinking about
39:26what they're going to do
39:28with their timeouts.
39:30They get it back
39:31to try to respond
39:33if Buffalo can score.
39:35Justin, gummy, squeeze!
39:37And pass it!
39:39Baltimore brings some pressure.
39:40And Allen throws.
39:41It's caught!
39:42Under one, Coleman!
39:43Keion Coleman tripped up
39:45at the nine-yard line!
39:46Timeout Ravens!
39:52I tell you,
39:53that may not be all bad.
39:54Exactly.
39:55Because if he had scored
39:57on that play,
39:58it would have given
39:59Baltimore and Lamar Jackson
40:01an opportunity
40:02to get the ball back.
40:04Now you're going to get
40:05into all those discussions.
40:07Now, I got you.
40:08We've got Matt Prater,
40:10another kicker,
40:11who's not their ordinary kicker,
40:13but this isn't much
40:14of a kick at this point.
40:15Do we even see
40:16the possibility
40:17of letting them
40:18score from here?
40:19And I guarantee
40:20the Buffalo Bills
40:21are over there saying
40:22even if they do that,
40:24take a knee
40:25on the one-yard line.
40:29That's it, Lamar,
40:30just shake your head.
40:31Because we're all
40:32doing the same.
40:33Of course,
40:34the Bills have had
40:35remarkable comebacks
40:36in this stadium.
40:37You think back
40:37to the playoffs
40:38and Frank Reich
40:40with the last win
40:41trailing by 15
40:42in the fourth quarter
40:43goes all the way back
40:44to a wild one
40:47against the Jets.
40:48So first and goal,
40:49two timeouts
40:50for Baltimore.
40:53And the Bills' strategy
40:55will be interesting
40:55to watch.
40:56Do they try to score
40:57and then does Baltimore
40:58let them?
41:00I mean,
41:00I assume they're
41:01setting up for a kick
41:02at this point.
41:04Do you want to,
41:05at the very least,
41:06get rid of those timeouts?
41:07I think if you take it
41:08down as far as you can,
41:10yeah, absolutely.
41:11Allen takes it
41:12to see Baltimore
41:12takes a timeout.
41:13They can take another one
41:15in, let's say,
41:15three seconds,
41:16but then they become
41:18powerless to stop
41:19the clock after that.
41:20And then,
41:21Melissa,
41:21it would turn
41:22to the veteran,
41:22Matt Prater.
41:23Yes,
41:23I talked to him
41:24right before the game
41:25during warm-ups.
41:26He, as you mentioned,
41:27took the red eye
41:28to Buffalo
41:28from Arizona
41:29on Thursday night.
41:30He told me
41:31he finally feels
41:32like himself today
41:33after catching up
41:34on sleep.
41:34We talked about
41:35if he knows
41:36any of his teammates'
41:37names yet.
41:37He said,
41:38I'm learning.
41:39And I asked how
41:39he feels kicking here.
41:40He said since he's
41:41played here several times,
41:42he is very comfortable.
41:44He has played
41:44three games here
41:45in his career.
41:47So hard to feel
41:48comfortable in this stadium,
41:49but he did kick it here
41:50week one last year
41:52against Arizona,
41:54but this is now
41:54short stuff for a guy
41:56who's attempted 487 NFL
42:00field goals
42:00coming into tonight.
42:02And add two more
42:03to that
42:04here this evening.
42:06They've been working
42:06on Spencer Brown
42:07in these timeouts.
42:09The big right tackle
42:10has been cramping,
42:11getting a lot of fluid
42:12in there
42:12as the Bills
42:13are about to run.
42:14Their 77th play
42:15of the night.
42:16And it's victory formation.
42:18Harbaugh takes
42:22a final timeout.
42:25And I remember
42:26Buffalo has
42:27no timeouts.
42:29So they have to have
42:31the strategy
42:32to get their guys
42:33out there quickly
42:34if they take a knee here
42:36and be set
42:37not for a fire drill
42:38field goal,
42:39but the closest thing
42:40to it.
42:40Of course a two-score game
42:52when it was 40 to 25.
42:54Teams in it.
42:55You're one play away
42:55and we saw the fumble
42:56happen.
42:57But even at home
42:58you just felt like
42:59the Bills lost their energy.
43:01Would you have Josh
43:02scramble around
43:03and throw it away?
43:05But then when he throws
43:06it away
43:06you're going to leave
43:07Baltimore 25 seconds.
43:09Right?
43:09No matter how long
43:10he scrambles.
43:11Yeah, so you're just
43:12going to run the field
43:13goal team out there.
43:14Which everybody
43:15practices,
43:16but they haven't done it
43:17with Prater.
43:17So he takes a knee
43:18and now they go out there.
43:20And Matt Prater will come on
43:21for a game-winning
43:22field goal.
43:2541-year-old
43:26who's been to the
43:27Pro Bowl a few times.
43:29He's made long ones.
43:31He's made game winners.
43:34Less than 100 hours
43:36in Western New York.
43:37As the clock runs down,
43:39and Prater lines up
43:40for a game-winning
43:41field goal.
43:45From 32 yards,
43:48Prater made it!
43:50And the Bills
43:52open their final season
43:55in this stadium
43:55with a stunning
43:57comeback win.
43:58the Buffalo Joy Bosa.
44:19Welcome to Buffalo, Joey Bosa.
44:44Any argument on the MVP anymore?
44:49That was incredible.
44:51This place is still going nuts.
45:01Matt Prater doesn't know a bunch of his teammates.
45:06They know him now.
45:09Josh Allen carried this team, kept them alive.
45:12And they continue their unbelievable run at home.
45:15They've won 12 in a row.
45:18Lamar Jackson played as good as you can and can't believe it.
45:21Derrick Henry, spectacular game, but the fumble changed everything.
45:26And Sean McDermott and the determined, focused Buffalo Bills come away with a win.
45:34Gut-wrenching loss to start the season for John Harbaugh and Matt Prater.
45:41Welcome to Buffalo.
45:43Welcome to hero status in Western New York.
45:45Chevrolet postgame, coming up next.
45:48Welcome to the TW parasite.

46:01Come doff or listen.
46:02Come doff or listen.
46:03Good.
