Mike McDaniel was left speechless after Trent Sherfield’s toe-drag TD
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Trent Sherfield left spectators speechless Sunday with his spectacular first-half touchdown at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla. Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel was chief among them.
The Bills trailed 7-0 with 4:38 left in the second quarter and had 2nd-and-goal at the Dolphins’ 6-yard line. Quarterback Josh Allen faked the handoff to James Cook and tried to throw a dart at Sherfield in the middle of the end zone but Dolphins linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel deflected Allen’s pass.
That’s when Sherfield channeled his inner Julio Jones with an epic toe-drag TD to score the Bills’ lone touchdown of the half. McDaniel’s face said it all.

The Dolphins were able to bring their coach some positive vibes before the half ended. Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill didn’t need any toe drags to put Miami up 14-7 heading into the break.
A TD and a flip for Tyreek 🐆

The Bills entered the game having already clinched a playoff spot after the Jacksonville Jaguars lost to the Tennessee Titans earlier in the day.
However, Buffalo still had something to play for. They won the game 21-14 and secured the No. 2 spot in the AFC. Buffalo will host Pittsburgh in the wild-card round.
