The Buffalo Bills edged out a 21–14 win over the Miami Dolphins to secure the AFC East title and No. 2 playoff seed on Sunday night thanks to quarterback Josh Allen’s ferocious drive in the fourth quarter.
In a nearly five-minute drive, Allen pushed the Bills down the field resulting in a Dawson Knox touchdown to eventually give them the win.
So what sparked this drive? A video by NFL Films caught wide receiver Stefon Diggs giving Allen a quick, but impactful, pep talk before the Bills took the field.
“Ay! Don’t force it, but this next drive, put the dagger in ‘em,” Diggs said. “This is when a good team show that they’re a good team.”
"Put the dagger in 'em."

At the end of the clip, Diggs is shown again saying “This is a great f------ play” as Allen responds by saying “Love it.” The drive was an example of the teamwork across the Bills’ roster both on and off the field.
The Bills will face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET in the wild-card round of the playoffs.
