Josh Allen Finally Gets His Houston Breakthrough as Bills Rally Past Texans (Observations)
On Sunday, the Buffalo Bills defeated the Houston Texans 36-31 at NRG Stadium, with quarterback Josh Allen throwing a decisive 34-yard touchdown pass to Joshua Palmer with 1:36 remaining.
This victory marked Allen's first win in Houston after four career defeats, while head coach Joe Brady earned his first win replacing Sean McDermott after nine seasons.
Allen completed 20-of-29 passes for 334 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for two more scores; Dalton Kincaid recorded 130 receiving yards and DJ Moore added 100 yards in his Buffalo debut.
Buffalo's defense secured the result with a late strip-sack by Greg Rousseau on C.J. Stroud, overcoming three touchdowns from Texans running back David Montgomery.
The Bills begin the season 1-0 and will host the Detroit Lions on Thursday Night Football in Week 2, while the Texans prepare to face Cincinnati next Sunday.
