The Bills lost to the Houston Texans Thursday night, James Cook ran a 45 yard touchdown on Buffalo’s first possession and from that point on the Bills offense was completely overcome by the Houston Texans defense. Even with quarterback Josh Allen having eight sacks somehow the Bills were in position to win the game in the last final seconds, but Dion Dawkins committed a false start penalty on fourth and one at the Houston 17, and Allen finished with a terrible performance including a second interception ending with Buffalo’s sickening 23-19 loss.
Speaking to the media after the loss, Bills coach Sean McDermott pointed out that getting hit that often is usually not the recipe for success.
“They had 12 hits on Josh, eight sacks. That’s not a healthy formula right there,” McDermott said. “It’s not a healthy way to play or a healthy way to keep our quarterback healthy through the remainder of the season.”
Allen also spoke out and said ‘’It’s not fun. I ran into a couple myself, I have to be better with throwing the ball away, living to see another down, letting us play some situational football and pinning them deep. Too many times, I was going backwards, and I have to be better at that.”
With the loss Buffalo is now 7-4. Their hopes of catching the New England Patriots in the AFC East are getting slimmer. The good news is that they currently hold the No. 6 seed in the AFC as a crowded field in the hunt and as a wild card for the 2026 Superbowl.
