Fairbairn's Field Goal Lifts Texans Over Bills

The Houston Texans secured a dramatic 23-20 victory over the Buffalo Bills, highlighted by Ka'imi Fairbairn's 59-yard game-winning field goal, marking him as the Texans' all-time leading scorer. This win was significant for wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who played his first game against his former team, contributing six catches for 82 yards. Despite a rough start, the Bills managed to tie the game in the third quarter, but questionable play-calling and clock management by head coach Sean McDermott and offensive coordinator Joe Brady were criticized, as they opted for three consecutive pass plays deep in their territory, leading to a turnover on downs. Quarterback Josh Allen struggled throughout the game, completing only 9 of 30 passes and sustaining multiple injuries. The Texans, now 4-1, capitalized on the Bills' errors, showcasing strong performances from C.J. Stroud and Dare Ogunbowale. Fairbairn's clutch field goal sealed the Texans' win, while the Bills face scrutiny over their recent performances and coaching decisions.
