A mic’d out Josh Allen was overheard promising Tua Tagovailoa something audacious after Sunday’s Week 18 Buffalo Bills vs. Miami Dolphins game.
The Bills (11-6) secured their fourth consecutive AFC East division title and the No. 2 seed in the AFC by outlasting the Dolphins 21-14 on the road. On Sunday, Allen’s team will host the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card Round.
Tua Tagovailoa in action
The 11-6 Dolphins, who ended the season as the sixth seed, will now have to travel to meet the Kansas City Chiefs in the Wild Card Round.
Cameras captured Allen saying to Tua Tagovailoa, following the game, “We’ll see you guys again, huh? We’ll see you in a couple of weeks.”

There is simply no chance that the Dolphins, who are the sixth seed, will be able to play the Bills in the Divisional Round. The top-seeded Baltimore Ravens would visit the Dolphins, while the winner of the Houston Texans-Cleveland Browns game would play home to the Bills if both Miami and Buffalo win this weekend.
The Dolphins will need to overcome the reigning Super Bowl champions and then defeat the Ravens in order to go to the final four, while the Bills only need two wins at home to qualify to the AFC Championship Game.
Allen and the Bills’ five-game winning streak to end the season helped them defeat Miami and win the division. Buffalo defeated the injured Dolphins in the season series to win the head-to-head tiebreaker.
