Bills Edge Texans, But Issues Linger | Buffalo Bills News

The Bills pulled off a gritty 36-31 win over the Texans in a thriller, thanks to Josh Allen’s clutch TD to Joshua Palmer and a key defensive stop—but it came at a steep cost. Ten penalties costing 85 yards, including a costly holding call on Damar Hamlin that gave Houston a first down and a touchdown, exposed sloppy discipline. Red zone defense was shaky early, allowing four scores before finally locking down with a strip-sack. And James Cook’s meager 57 rushing yards underscored a bigger issue: the Bills need their ground game to dominate against Detroit’s stout run defense. With a short week ahead, fixing these flaws is critical if they want to keep pace in a brutal division. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
