The Buffalo Bills needed to make a stop from their own 1-yard line against the New York Giants to prevent them from winning with a touchdown Sunday night – and they did just that, holding off the late-game surge from their opponent to win, 14-9, in a low-scoring thriller.
The Giants were down 14-9 when Tyler Bass missed his first field goal attempt of the season on a 53-yard try late in the fourth quarter. Backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor, who was in for injured Daniel Jones, worked his way down the field to the point where tight end Darren Waller interfered on the final play of regulation, which led the ball to be placed at the 1-yard line for one final play to determine it all.
The Giants snapped the ball and Waller was the intended target again for Taylor, who lofted it high for only him to reach it, but cornerback Taron Johnson had terrific coverage on Waller and forced the incompletion to end the game.

This game wasn't supposed to be a close one, as the Giants were 14-point underdogs heading into Highmark Stadium, but the Bills started off very slow and the Giants' defense played a big part in that in the first half.
Josh Allen was able to get things going in the second half, though, and it started with a 17-play touchdown drive that sparked everyone in Buffalo.
Starting from their own 11-yard line, the Bills methodically worked their way down to the Giants’ 3-yard line,
