‘Despite another shaky start on both sides of the ball, the Buffalo Bills battled back from a 20-3 third quarter deficit to tie their matchup with the Houston Texans at 20-20 late in the fourth quarter. However, a 59-yard field goal from Texans kicker Ka’imi Fairbairn as time expired in regulation helped Houston escape with a 23-20 win over the Bills at NRG Stadium.’

‘”I thought our guys did a great job coming back. Coaches made good adjustments, [but] just not enough in the end, and that’s on me,” said Bills head coach Sean McDermott following Sunday’s loss.’

‘”It starts with making better decisions, on my part. I know didn’t”, said Allen following Sunday’s loss in Houston. “I put the ball in harm’s way, especially early in that first half.”‘

‘Watching the offense operate in the first half on Sunday, it reminded me of those painful to watch performances last season towards the end of Ken Dorsey’s time as offensive coordinator.’

‘Once again, just like last Sunday night in Baltimore against the Ravens, Bills wide receivers had trouble separating from Texans defensive backs. That allowed Houston to blitz a lot, and Allen was not able to find anyone open.’

‘Not getting the ball enough? Absolutely no freaking chance in hell is that the reason we’re all sitting here today talking about this. Just look at what is happening on his new team.’

‘The Texans aren’t the Ravens when it comes to running the football, but they’ll try to have the same success Baltimore did, especially against a banged-up Bills defensive line.’

‘Here’s a look at the final injury report and game designations for both clubs…’.

‘”We didn’t perform at a level that would have allowed us to win the game, and that’s playing and coaching both,” said Bills head coach Sean McDermott on Friday during his weekly appearance on the “Extra Point Show” on WGR. “That’s what I’m talking about when I’m talking about perform. That’s something we can control, and you can’t always control the result. But if you perform at a level that gives you a chance to win, that’s what you can control.”‘

‘Meanwhile, wide receiver Khalil Shakir, who is dealing with an ankle injury, did not practice for a second-straight day. Also not practicing again on Thursday included safety Taylor Rapp (concussion protocol) and defensive tackle Austin Johnson (oblique).’

‘Through the first four games of the year, Allen has thrown for 814 yards and seven touchdowns, while also rushing for 106 yards and two touchdowns. He currently ranks tied for third in the league with his seven touchdown passes.’

‘Linebacker Terrel Bernard, who returned to practice last week but did not play in Sunday night’s game against the Baltimore Ravens, was back on the field again, but this time wearing a regular blue practice jersey. He had been in a red non-contact jersey last week.’

‘Miller turned himself into police in suburban Dallas, Texas on charges of domestic violence after he was accused of assaulting his longtime girlfriend, who was pregnant with their child and the mother of their other children. The count of Assault of a Pregnant Person that Miller faced is a Third Degree felony in the State of Texas.’

‘How bad was it? Super bad.’

‘”It was a pretty bad play call,” said Brady during his weekly Zoom call with the media. “There is no other way to dum it up.”‘
