Plenty of NFL games come down to a small handful of moments.
Last night, there were two that turned a potential Miami upset into a Buffalo win: (1) Zach Sieler’s inexplicable roughing the punter penalty, which fueled the go-ahead touchdown drive; and (2) Terrel Bernard’s interception of Tua Tagovailoa, as the Dolphins were driving for a late score, down by seven points.
From the first replay , it was obvious based on the way Bernard broke on the ball that he didn’t read Tua’s eyes or otherwise figure it out on the fly. It was a film-study interception.
Basically, the Bills cracked the code on Miami’s tendencies and tells. And the Dolphins failed to self-scout themselves.
Speaking to reporters, Bernard basically confirmed the point.
