What was anticipated to be a blowout turned into a closely fought Wild Card matchup. Buffalo led 14-0 at the end of the first quarter, and despite seeming dominance, Allen's two interceptions allowed the Dolphins back in the game. Ultimately, the Bills prevailed but it remained a tight playoff match.
Game 3: January 12, 1991 - Bills 44, Dolphins 34
This marked a significant turning point for Buffalo. While they had made the playoffs in the preceding two seasons, this was their inaugural Super Bowl appearance, featuring another iconic face-off between Marino and Kelly, with both quarterbacks achieving three touchdowns and surpassing 300 yards. Two Buffalo receivers each delivered performances over 120 yards, and despite being down 27-10, the Dolphins fought back to narrow it to 30-27 in the fourth quarter. While they didn’t win, the game was a key moment in the AFC East rivalry.
