Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins players engaged in a shootout in the second quarter after Josh Allen hit Javie Howard.
The incident took place in about 6 minutes at the end of the first half. Allen threw a very long pass near the end zone that was intercepted by Howard. The cornerback ran the ball 49 yards, taking it away from wide receiver John Brown.

At running back, Allen appeared to connect with Dolphins linebacker Christian Wilkins. The two pushed back and forth as Bills offensive lineman Matt Morse came to defend his quarterback. Buffalo players began giving Wilkins the business and penalty flags were thrown.
Fortunately for both teams, no one was sent off. Wilkins and Morse were penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct for the incident. The penalties were called, and Miami took over at the Bills’ 48-yard line.
