🥚3. Bills held scoreless second quarter, Texans score late
Neither offense was able to generate points through much of the second quarter. The Bills offense struggled to get much going on their three second quarter drives, punting on all three consecutive drives.
The Texans had an opportunity to score on their first drive of the second quarter, but were stopped deep in Buffalo territory on a fourth down run to RB Dare Ogunbowale that LB Terrel Bernard and DB Cam Lewis combined for the tackle.
On their final drive of the half after a P Sam Martin punt, with 30 seconds left in the half, Stroud drove the Texans to the Bills' 32-yard line that led to a K Ka'imi Fairbairn 50-yard field goal, bringing the second quarter to a close with a 17-3 lead.
This was the first time the Bills have trailed by double-digits at halftime in back-to-back games with Allen starting at QB in both.
đź‘Ł4. Finding their footing
The Texans scored a field goal on their first drive of the second half and Buffalo responded immediately.
On the ensuing drive, RB Ty Johnson got things going with a 19-yard rush. The run game continued to roll as Allen scrambled up the middle for seven yards and drew an unnecessary roughness flag on S Jalen Pitre, giving the offense an additional 15 yards, getting the offense into Houston territory. A catch by TE Dalton Kincaid brought the offense to the Texans 5-yard line and Cook hit pay dirt, scoring the first touchdown of the day for the Bills. With the touchdown, Cook became the first Bill to rush for four touchdowns in the first five games of the season since Fred Jackson in 2013.
🧗‍♂️5. Climbing back
The Bills defense continued their strong day, forcing the Texans to punt after a three-and-out in the middle of the third quarter.
A few plays later on fourth down-and-five, the offense opted to stay on the field on the Texans' 49-yard line. The aggressive play call paid off, as rookie WR Keon Coleman scored on a 49-yard touchdown catch-and-run down the sideline shrinking the Texans lead back to only three points.
đź‘”6. Tie ball game
After trading punts in the fourth quarter, the Bills defense got to work, forcing two turnovers on the Texans offense. Bernard intercepted Stroud, but the offense had to punt once again. After the punt, DE Dawuane Smoot forced a fumble on Stroud that LB Dorian Williams recovered giving the offense the ball at the Texans' 15-yard line.
Allen, who left the game momentarily, came back into the game, but threw two incompletions that led to a Bass field goal, tying the game at 20-20.
đź’”7. End game
The Texans pinned the Bills offense deep in their own territory with less than a minute left in the game. The Bills were not able to generate anything on offense and punted the ball away to the Texans. The Texans used their remainiing timeouts and were able to run the clock down to two-seconds left on the clock to kick the game-winning 59-yard field goal.
Key Stats and Facts:
- Dalton Kincaid now has a 25+ yard reception in three straight games, tying the longest streak by a Buffalo TE in the last 30 years (Jay Riemersma twice, Mark Campbell).

- Josh Allen is the 2nd player in NFL history with 175+ passing touchdowns and 50+ rushing touchdowns (Cam Newton – 194 passing, 75 rushing).
- The 49-yard completion to WR Keon Coleman was the Bills' longest play on a 4th down since December 31, 2006, at Baltimore (J.P. Losman - 52-yard completion to Lee Evans).
- With nine tackles today, Dorian Williams became the first Bill with nine tackles in each of the first five games of the season (since tackles were tracked in 1994).
- Bills now have a takeaway in 7 straight games, tied for the third-longest active streak in the NFL (Ravens/Lions - 8 straight).
- The Bills defense now has a sack in 20 straight games going back to last season, the sixth-longest active streak in the league.
