Their playoff lives on the line Sunday, the Bills rallied from 14 down to take a 31–28 lead on the Dolphins. They then proceeded to allow a game-tying FG drive in the closing minutes, missed an OT field goal of their own after a failed trick play, and later allowed a 57-yard Jay Ajayi run to set up a Dolphins victory.
This is how it went for the Bills in the short-lived Rex Ryan era: They were competitive, scrappy even, yet never quite good enough to be a real threat.
The Bills announced Tuesday that they had fired Ryan, as well as his brother, defensive coordinator Rob Ryan.
