American FootballMiami Dolphins' rookie quarterback Ryan Tannehill threw two late interceptions as the Buffalo Bills held on for a 19-14 win in the AFC East divisional clash late on Thursday.

Miami suffered their third consecutive loss and slipped to 4-6 in the division with their play-off hopes becoming increasingly marginal.

"We had a couple of opportunities late in the game to win the game and we weren't able to get it done," Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin said.

"It was not a good offensive performance, we had nothing going on."

The Bills got off to the perfect start with a 79 yard punt return from Leodis McKelvin and then a 32 yard field goal from Rian Lindell making it 10-0.
