At 7-4, the Buffalo Bills are now fighting for their playoff lives thanks to yet another untimely loss to an AFC playoff hopeful in the Houston Texans. Buffalo doesn’t have a lot of room for error left if they hope to make some noise in the postseason, and that means taking care of business a […]

The Buffalo Bills haven’t had much success in Houston, and that trend continued during an ugly Thursday Night Football “performance.” Down four at the half, the defense clamped down after the break and only allowed three additional points. The offense had six drives to work with and only came up with three of their own […]
The Buffalo Bills needed a complete performance last Thursday night if they were going to defeat a Houston Texans team with an excellent defense. Instead, their offense sputtered, and that Houston defense dominated the point of attack, sacking quarterback Josh Allen eight times on the way to a 23-19 victory. Buffalo’s defense, which allowed 20 […]
Josh Allen is compared to Cam Newton far too often. There are certainly similarities when it comes to their size, running ability, and cannon-like arms, but both Josh and Cam were unicorns in different ways — making it very difficult to compare the two. That said, there is one area where Allen and Newton’s careers […]

Despite the fact that the Buffalo Bills had a chance to score the game-winning touchdown late in Thursday night’s primetime game, the Bills were thoroughly dominated by the Houston Texans in Week 12. Houston’s front four, led by Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter, bullied Buffalo’s offensive line and finished with eight sacks and countless […]
Fans of the Buffalo Bills probably don’t care much for the latest results of our Reacts poll. First of all, they’re late getting to you as they should have been shared ahead of Thursday Night Football. Despite that, it’s worth showing where people were at in general ahead of the Week 12 game that turned […]
The Buffalo Bills fell to the Houston Texans 23-19 on Thursday Night Football, dropping their record to 7-4 on the season.

With a few minutes left in the first quarter against the Houston Texans, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was tackled from behind and hit the turf hard.

The Buffalo Bills keep losing the wrong games, even if no loss is a good one to claim. Eight sacks and two more very ugly interceptions for quarterback Josh Allen.

The Buffalo Bills lost the the Houston Texans on Thursday night, and the AFC East is the New England Patriots to control. Again. With the loss, the Bills fall to 7-4 on the season and they drop a spot to sixth in the AFC thanks to a tiebreaker loss to the Chargers. They can fall […]
Late in the third quarter, it was Spencer Brown’s turn in the blue medical tent on the Buffalo Bills sideline. The right tackle had his shoulder looked at by medical staff and then, after coming out of the tent, could be seen checking his strength as he pushed against athletic trainers. While Brown was ultimately cleared to return, it’s evident that he […]
The injuries just keep piling up for the Buffalo Bills. Midway through the third quarter, it was rookie cornerback Maxwell Hairston who couldn’t get up off the turf as teammates waved for training staff to come to his aid.

Early in the third quarter with the Buffalo Bills trailing the Houston Texans 20-16, linebackers Terrel Bernard and Matt Milano combined to drop Nick Chubb a yard behind the line of scrimmage.

Buffalo’s top-ranked offense goes up against […]
This game was ugly. U-G-L-Y you ain’t got no alibi, ugly. The defense kept losing players to injury (yet still made some key stops) and the offense allowed a whopping EIGHT sacks on QB Josh Allen. The offensive line also got pretty banged up and even Allen himself looked hurt on a few plays. Throughout […]
The Buffalo Bills are set to face off against the Houston Texans for the second consecutive season. It’s also the second consecutive season where the Bills have traveled to Houston for the contest. Last year, Buffalo played horribly in a 23-20 loss at the Texans. Houston has not been a friendly venue for Buffalo, as […]
