Texans Defense Dominates Bills' Allen
21 Nov
Summary
- Texans defense held Bills to 12 points, sacking Allen eight times.
- Calen Bullock intercepted Josh Allen twice in the Texans' victory.
- Texans improved to 6-5, Bills dropped to 7-4 after the loss.
Houston's formidable defense proved decisive in their 23-19 win against the Buffalo Bills. The Texans sacked Josh Allen a career-high eight times and forced three turnovers, largely stifling the Bills' offensive efforts throughout the game. Calen Bullock was a standout, intercepting Allen twice, with the second interception sealing the victory for Houston. The Texans' defense, ranked first in the NFL for yards and points allowed, limited the Bills to only 12 points, excluding a 97-yard punt return touchdown.
Despite a slow start from quarterback Davis Mills, who is filling in for C.J. Stroud, the Texans' offense found success through their running game. Rookie running back Woody Marks contributed a career-high 74 yards on 16 carries, helping to offset the Bills' defensive adjustments in the second half. The win marked Mills' third consecutive victory as a starter, while Allen endured his toughest outing in nearly three seasons.
The Texans' victory elevates their standing to 6-5, positioning them for playoff contention. The Bills, now 7-4, continue to trail the New England Patriots in the AFC East. Both teams are set for challenging Week 13 matchups, with Houston facing the Indianapolis Colts and Buffalo playing the Pittsburgh Steelers.
