Texans Edge Bills With Last-Minute Field Goal

The Buffalo Bills suffered a disappointing 23-20 defeat against the Houston Texans, losing despite a late comeback that tied the game with just over three minutes remaining. After falling behind 20-3 early in the third quarter, the Bills rallied with two touchdowns, but poor execution on their final drive led to a botched punt that set up a game-winning 59-yard field goal by Ka'imi Fairbairn as time expired. Josh Allen struggled, completing only 9 of 30 passes for 131 yards while the Texans' C.J. Stroud threw for over 300 yards and a touchdown. The loss marked Buffalo's second consecutive defeat, although they still remain in first place in the AFC East due to the Jets' loss. Stefon Diggs, traded from Buffalo to Houston, contributed with six receptions for 82 yards, stepping up after teammate Nico Collins left the game with an injury. The Bills will aim to bounce back against the New York Jets next week, while the Texans improve to 4-1, their second-best start in franchise history.
