Buffalo,NY - Sep 20,2025

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel revealed that the team has contacted the NFL to seek clarification regarding a potential fumble by Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen during a kneel-down play. McDaniel stated, "It appeared to me that it was a fumble... I don't think it's appropriate for everyone to wait around while I'm having an adult temper tantrum." The Dolphins are seeking an explanation from the league about this controversial moment. (@MiamiDolphins) #PhinsUp

The match between Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins took place on September 18, 2025, with the Bills winning 31-21. At the end of the first half, the Dolphins scored a touchdown, tying the game at 14-14 with 8 seconds remaining. After the kickoff, the Bills received the ball and performed a kneel-down to end the first half. However, Josh Allen mishandled the snap, causing the ball to come loose, but he recovered it while on his knee, and the referee blew the whistle to end the play. The Dolphins believe the ball was still live, and they could have jumped in to contest for possession.

If the Dolphins had successfully recovered the ball at the Bills' approximately 25-yard line with 1-2 seconds remaining, they could have attempted a field goal from around 42 yards to take a 17-14 lead before halftime. Leading at the end of the first half could have shifted the momentum of the game, giving the Dolphins more confidence in the second half, where the Bills scored an additional 17 points while the Dolphins only managed 7. However, the chances of scoring were low due to the limited time and the need for a quick recovery of the ball.

If the league confirms that the referee made an error, the result of the game will not be changed because the NFL does not reverse results after the game has ended. The Bills will not be penalized as this was an unintentional mishandled snap, not a deliberate violation. However, the league may review the referee's performance, leading to a warning or demotion for the involved referee. Additionally, the Dolphins' contact with the league to clarify the rules could result in the league issuing new guidelines for similar situations in the future.

Justin Fuller, known by the nickname "Spidey," died after a tandem skydiving jump went wrong on Oct. 4, 2025, near Nashville, Tennessee. (Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey) Fuller, known affectionately as “Spidey,” had completed more than 5,000 jumps and trained U.S. military personnel in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused, and committed to lifting others higher — both in life and in the air.” Puni, whose mother is the younger sister of Fuller's , grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose. Family members say that influence helped shape his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Dominick that strength isn’t about being unbreakable — it’s about standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how Dominick lives and plays today.” Puni, a rookie out of Kansas, has steadily earned the 49ers’ trust along the offensive line, praised for his physicality in the run game and poise in protection. Coaches describe him as “wise beyond his years.” The 49ers have privately offered support and time for Puni and his family, ensuring he can process the loss away from team obligations. Teammates have rallied behind him, honoring his family’s resilience and service background. The FAA is investigating the incident, while tributes to Fuller — under his nickname “Spidey” — continue to flood social media from military peers, skydivers, and fans nationwide. “He taught others to fly — now he’s flying higher than all of us,” one tribute read.
