Penalty On Von Miller

At the time of the penalty, you wouldn’t think for it to be that big of a game changer. But looking back on it, it cost Denver the game. With 7:38 left, the Bills were facing a third and six, Taylor was pressured right up the middle by Miller and took a shot.

Taylor’s pass was incomplete which would’ve resulted in the Bills having to punt the ball. That wasn’t the case as Miller was penalized 15-yards for an unsportsmanlike penalty after he stuck his hand out to help Taylor back up but then quickly pulled it away.

This costly penalty gave the Bills a fresh new set of downs as they marched their way to the goal line, killing some clock and icing the game with a 27-yard Steven Hauschka field goal to make it a 26-16 game, sealing the win for Buffalo.
