The Buffalo Bills defeated the Miami Dolphins 30–27 on Sunday. After a lethargic first half, the offenses stepped it up in the second half, producing an instant classic. Tyler Bass, the Bills’ kicker, missed an extra point early in the game, adding to his struggles this season. When the game was on the line, he stepped up and hit a 61-yarder to seal the win. Josh Allen became upset while talking about the kicker with CBS after the game.
“I was emotional for him. Allen told Melanie Collins, “He’s been battling his ass off, fighting adversity; you saw that today.” “To be there in the most important moment and nail it for us, I’m very proud of him. I adore that man. Everyone in our locker room admires and trusts him. Just glad it went in.”
Tyler Bass missed a kick in the Divisional Round against the Chiefs to conclude last season. While he had a few excellent regular seasons before to it, it raised many worries about his future ability. He did little to alleviate those concerns in the early stages of the season.
Bass missed his fourth extra point of the season on Sunday and has three field goal misses overall. The Bills believe in their kicker, and he’ll have plenty of opportunity to express his gratitude.
This season, the Bills and Bass have not had a perfect relationship. When his difficulties were at their worst, they brought in Lucas Havrisik to audition for the job. Bass won the competition and retained his job, relegating Havrisik to the scrap bin. While Bass needed a push to get started this season, he has done well against the competition.
Tyler Bass’s extra point on Sunday is his lone missed kick in three games since the audition. The Bills needed him to improve after a poor performance against the Jets, and he has done just that. While there is still plenty of time to go this season, gaining confidence for the winter months is crucial.
The missed kicks in the Divisional Round last year occurred on a windy day in Western New York. Most Bills games after Halloween take place on windy days. As the wind and snow pile up, Bass’s confidence will be crucial. Days like Sunday will only boost your confidence.
