Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said he plans to speak with the NFL about a potential missed call on a kneeldown fumble by Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen in the final seconds of Thursday’s first half against the Dolphins.
Allen appeared to fumble the snap, but officials whistled for the play to end before the Dolphins defense could pursue the ball.
“It was a great exercise in my mental discipline. I saw it. I knew what happened, and I also saw the whistle blow, and then I saw them run it in,” McDaniel told reporters at the 28:00 mark of his Friday media availability. “So I ran in to prepare for the second half, knowing that he’d just fumbled, or I thought they did, at least.
“So, we’ll be in talks with the league. I haven’t gotten any feedback yet. But live speed, it appeared to me that it was a fumble, with the assumption it was a clean center-quarterback exchange. But we’ll see how the league rules it.”
The Bills kept the ball to open the third quarter and finished off the drive with a touchdown before going on to claim a 31-21 win.
