Allen's Bills Face Stroud-less Texans
21 Nov
Summary
- Bills quarterback Josh Allen recently had a historic six-touchdown game.
- Texans will start backup Davis Mills as C.J. Stroud remains sidelined.
- Both teams are fighting for playoff contention in their respective divisions.
The Buffalo Bills and Houston Texans, both once divisional favorites, are now in a crucial matchup with playoff implications. Josh Allen, the Bills' star quarterback, is fresh off a record-setting game with six total touchdowns, showcasing his MVP form. However, the Bills' defense ranks in the bottom half of the league in several key metrics, presenting potential weaknesses.
The Texans, conversely, will be without their promising rookie quarterback, C.J. Stroud, who is out with a concussion. Davis Mills is set to start under center, and his performance will be key for Houston's slim playoff chances. The Texans boast one of the NFL's top defenses, particularly their pass rush led by Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson, who will aim to pressure Allen.
This game is vital for both franchises. A loss would significantly hinder the Bills' pursuit of the AFC East title, while the Texans desperately need this win to remain in the playoff conversation. The betting market has shifted significantly, favoring the Bills heavily, especially with Stroud's absence confirmed.
