The Bills opened the season by outlasting Houston 36-31, fueled by Josh Allen’s 334 passing yards and four total touchdowns. Dalton Kincaid went for 130 yards receiving, while newcomer DJ Moore chipped in 100 and a score. But the moment was that late 96-yard drive, capped by Allen’s 34-yard strike to Joshua Palmer. “It feels good to start the season off right,” Allen said afterward, adding that OC Joe Brady called, “a heck of a game.” The Texans reached Buffalo’s 9 in the final seconds, but the Bills closed it out with a Deone Walker sack and a Greg Rousseau strip-sack to seal it. For Brady, it was his first win as an NFL head coach. He kept it simple. “It’s just one game. I’m just proud of the guys.” For Buffalo, it’s a road win and a statement that they can finish when it matters most.
