MIAMI — The Bills’ first loss of the season featured many twists and turns, and ultimately, Buffalo fell to the division rival Dolphins despite finishing with 90 offensive plays and more than doubling Miami’s time of possession (40:40 to 19:20).

With the Bills’ final drive falling short as time expired after quarterback Josh Allen passed to Isaiah McKenzie, when the wide receiver appeared to have time to get out of bounds to stop the clock, offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey was shown on the CBS broadcast reacting in frustration, slamming his headset, hat and tablet into the desk and crumpling the papers around him.

If I could take it back, I would probably just go up field, get down, put it on the hash myself and live to fight another down.”

The Bills had many missed opportunities throughout the game, including a contested pass to wideout Gabe Davis in the end zone and a potential pick-six by linebacker Matt Milano that he was unable to haul in.

“I trust Gabe in those situations,” Allen said of the play to Davis. “Those are ones we come down with nine out of 10 times. That was the 10th time, I guess. I’ve got no loss in faith in him and what he’s able to do and his capabilities in this game.”

The Dolphins possessed the ball for only 7:55 in the second half, and they still came away with a win. Miami’s 19:20 time of possession was the lowest in a win since the 2014 season, when the New England Patriots beat the New York Jets in Week 7 with 19:06.
