WATCH: Scuffle breaks out in Dolphins-Bills game following late hit by Elandon Roberts on Josh Allen
This Saturday night matchup between the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins had a little bit of everything. At one point in the game, play had to be stopped due to Buffalo fans throwing snowballs all over the field. Up to eight inches of snow fell before the game and only the field was cleared, which left plenty of snow in the stands for the fans. Game officials then warned that if a snowball hit someone, then a 15-yard penalty would be assessed. Play resumed. Then in the fourth quarter, Bills quarterback Josh Allen was shoved a few yards out of bounds by Dolphins linebacker Elandon Roberts.
Then, a scuffle ensued on the sideline between the Bills’ offensive linemen and Roberts. Dion Dawkins was the first to get up in Roberts’ face. Then a number of the other Bills’ offensive lineman joined in. It was a pretty heated melee on the sideline. And you can also see that the players were showered with snow, but no penalty flag was thrown, as previously warned.

The Bills ended up prevailing in the snowy game, 32-29. Saturday night’s game is just another example of the wild and wacky weather that the players have to deal with in Buffalo, New York. The area routinely receives some of the worst snowfall in America, but Bills fans seem to enjoy it.
Bills’ quarterback Josh Allen had another spectacular performance, throwing for 304 yards and four touchdowns through the air, while rushing for another 77 yards on the ground.
The win moved the Bills’ overall record to 11-3 overall. They’re still looking like one of the best teams in the league with the playoffs coming up in a few weeks.
Dolphins’ wide receiver Jaylen Waddle had another excellent performance, hauling in three catches for 114 receiving yards and a touchdown. His homerun hitting speed continues to make him of the league’s most unstoppable offensive weapons.
