Matchups between the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins are always memorable, but this one, in the year 2020, definitely set a standard. The bizarre day featured downpours, power outages, lightning delays, and 750 combined passing yards. A team known for great defense had to count on its offense to keep victory in reach, and for the first time in a while, the offense delivered. Buffalo won this shootout, 31-28.

Josh Allen just text that he threw this post-game pass to his Mom and Dad, who traveled from California to Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, where the team allowed 13,000 fans to attend Sunday. That's a good son. https://t.co/pXel7l1s7q
