The Buffalo Bills beat the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.
Then the watch party began. The Bills win alone wouldn't end their 17-year playoff drought. They needed the Cincinnati Bengals to come back and beat the Baltimore Ravens.
The Bengals were trailing by three points with 44 seconds to go when Andy Dalton hit Tyler Boyd on a 49-yard touchdown pass to seal a 31-27 win.
Bills fans watching from the concourse of Hard Rock Stadium in Miami went crazy.
