The Buffalo Bills were pushed around all night by the Houston Texans during Thursday Night Football. Josh Allen was battered and bruised by the relentless pressure generated by Houston’s front four, getting sacked a career-worst eight times while throwing two very ugly interceptions. The Bills’ defense failed to generate pressure on backup quarterback Davis Mills and allowed the Texans to score 20 first-half points, including a back-breaking, last-second touchdown following Ray Davis’ 97-yard kickoff return for a touchdown.

Despite it all, the Bills still had a chance to walk away with a big conference win in Houston when Josh Allen,...

With a few minutes left in the first quarter against the Houston Texans, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was tackled from behind and hit the turf hard. He immediately rolled over onto his back in obvious pain, favoring his left arm. Everyone’s hearts went into their stomachs. Turns out, we needn’t worry.

When he came off the field, Allen had a quick chat with trainers and went immediately to the bench. They wrapped his left elbow with what the broadcast said was something for turf burn.

After the game, Allen said he landed hard on his shoulder and it went...

The Buffalo Bills lost to the Houston Texans on Thursday night to fall to 7-4 on the season. Their sixth straight AFC East title is probably not in the cards at this point, but they are still in very strong position to make the playoffs.

Right now, the Bills are in sixth place in the AFC but could fall to seventh still in just a few days. The full AFC playoff picture is here.

In 2024, Josh Allen was sacked 14 times total. On Thursday night, Josh Allen was sacked seven times. Not only was it half of his entire 2024 sacks total, Allen was sacked more times in this game than against any opponent in his entire career.

Allen’s previous high in sacks taken was years ago. In 2018, he was sacked seven times by the Green Bay Packers in a 22-0 rout. In 2020, the Seattle Seahawks brought him down seven times, too, but Allen was incredibly efficient in the game and Buffalo won 44-34. That games is the only time in...

The Buffalo Bills keep losing the wrong games, even if no loss is a good one to claim. Eight sacks and two more very ugly interceptions for quarterback Josh Allen. That’s not winning football no matter who’s throwing the football. Yet… the Bills had a chance with less than two minutes to go, thanks to the most unlikely of trick plays actually working to convert a 4th & 27.

Was it an awful game by Buffalo’s offense? Yes. But much of that was due to the incredible performance by the Houston Texans’ defense. This team now holds the record for...

The Buffalo Bills lost the the Houston Texans on Thursday night, and the AFC East is the New England Patriots to control. Again.

With the loss, the Bills fall to 7-4 on the season and they drop a spot to sixth in the AFC thanks to a tiebreaker loss to the Chargers. They can fall even further depending on how Week 12 plays out with the Jacksonville Jaguars. If the Jags beat the Cardinals, Buffalo is in seventh place in the AFC with the Chargers on their bye

With the Denver Broncos on a bye, the New England Patriots can...

Late in the third quarter, it was Spencer Brown’s turn in the blue medical tent on the Buffalo Bills sideline. The right tackle had his shoulder looked at by medical staff and then, after coming out of the tent, could be seen checking his strength as he pushed against athletic trainers.

While Brown was ultimately cleared to return, it’s evident that he is not at full strength. The Houston Texans’ defense seemed to push him around easily as they had Josh Allen running for his life in the Buffalo backfield.

Brown missed Week 4 with a calf injury, but other...

The injuries just keep piling up for the Buffalo Bills. Midway through the third quarter, it was rookie cornerback Maxwell Hairston who couldn’t get up off the turf as teammates waved for training staff to come to his aid.

Hairston missed all of preseason and the first six games of the regular season as he recovered from a PCL injury he picked up in July. Eventually, the cornerback walked off the field accompanied by trainers and headed to the blue medical tent. After time in the medical tent, he was sent to the locker room to be evaluated for a...

Early in the third quarter with the Buffalo Bills trailing the Houston Texans 20-16, linebackers Terrel Bernard and Matt Milano combined to drop Nick Chubb a yard behind the line of scrimmage. However, the result for Buffalo was the loss of their defensive captain.

Bernard immediately began rolling on the ground in obvious pain as he held his right arm close to his body. After a few minutes on the field, trainers had the fourth-year linebacker, who has already been hampered by an ankle injury for weeks this season, on his feet. The Buffalo training staff escorted Bernard straight to...

In what began as a low-scoring, tough and physical game between the Buffalo Bills and Houston Texans, very quickly evolved into an explosion of points during the final two minutes of the first half. After the Texans kicked a field goal to take a 13-9 lead, Buffalo responded in explosive fashion on the ensuing kickoff return.

Running back Ray Davis got the message, running straight into conflict and quickly up the field to leave everyone else on the field behind him en route to six points. Inside of two minutes, the Bills now held a 16-13 lead.

But not so...

The Buffalo Bills are in H-Town for Week 12, looking to take home a W at the Houston Texans’ expense. A win in NRG Stadium would be a first for head coach Sean McDermott and quarterback Josh Allen, among other long-tenured players and team personnel at One Bills Drive.

Buffalo’s top-ranked offense goes up against Houston’s top-ranked defense, and something has to give. Does Allen have to do it all alone again this week? Offensive coordinator Joe Brady would be wise to try leaning a bit on running back James Cook III early and often, allowing Allen to complement that...

The Buffalo Bills are squaring off against the Houston Texans in a primetime Thursday night clash and things should be interesting. Last week, the 7-3 Bills struggled at first against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, once the team shifted to allow Josh Allen to play slightly unhinged, the offense came alive. By the end of the game, their 44-32 victory seemed like an absolute thrashing.

If the Bills have any hope of stacking their wins, they have to play similar this week against the Texans. While on defense, they will be facing backup QB Davis Mills, on offense they will...
