The Bills gained an early advantage over the Dolphins on Saturday night, going into the halftime break with a 21-13 lead.
However, after being shutout in the third quarter, the Bills found themselves trailing Miami, 29-21, early in the fourth quarter after Jason Sanders' 47-yard field goal seconds into the fourth quarter.
With 9:02 left in the game, quarterback Josh Allen led a 75-yard scoring drive, capped off by a five-yard touchdown pass to tight end Dawson Knox, followed by a quarterback keeper for the two-point conversion to tie the game at 29-29.
Still tied with 5:56 remaining, Allen orchestrated a 15-play, 86-yard drive, culminating with Bass' game-winner as the final second ticked off the clock.
The Bills improve to AFC-best 11-3 on the season, clinching a spot in the playoffs for the fourth consecutive season.
