Two Bills Drive

All of the photos appear to be plays favorible to Texans (Texans 82 yard gain, Bledsoe Fumble, Texans WR celebrates, David Carr throws).

"We came back and battled in the second half. We were defensively very strong and offensively, made enough big plays to come in and get a win on the road. We played well in the second half and we had to win today in order to put ourselves in position to make a big game next week."

Drew Bledsoe led yet another Buffalo comeback and this time overtime was avoided. Bledsoe, the NFL's leading passer, threw two touchdown passes in the final 10:39 and Travis Henry rushed for 159 yards and touchdowns of 1 and 23 yards, leading the Bills to a 31-24 victory over the Houston Texans.

Photos from today’s game.

‘With about two minutes remaining in the game, the Texans put together an exciting drive after a 15-yard roughing the passer penalty kept their crusade alive. Wells dashed up the field 20 yards to the Buffalo 30 to get the Texans a first down. Carr later ran seven yards to get another first down but a few failed passes in the end zone later, the Bills regained possession of the ball and sealed a 31-24 win.’

‘Five of Buffalo’s six games this season have featured ties or lead changes in the fourth quarter.’

‘The most costly penalty was a taunting call on third down following an incomplete pass at the Buffalo 34 that gave the Bills a first down.’

‘Maybe the Buffalo Bills should just skip the first three quarters.’

1. Pick the Pot

The Buffalo Bills defense needs an interception. Badly.

Everyone is talking about it.

Everyone admits it.

Everyone is even willing to put money on it. The Bills’ defensive players each contributed cash to a $1,500 pot that will be awarded to whoever gets the first interception.

‘Despite Drew Bledsoe’s offensive heroics, the Bills haven’t allowed fewer than 27 points in a game this season. “That would be fun,” said Houston quarterback David Carr of a potential shootout against Buffalo. “I would welcome that. I’m used to scoring a lot of points, especially the last couple of years at Fresno State. I like those kinds of games."’

‘With the Texans coming off a bye week, the Bills expect to face a rejuvenated, improved and hungry team.’

‘Fans are tired of hearing about youth and communication breakdowns and linebackers funneling the action to the middle of the field. It’s time for someone to make a big play.’

‘The former Fresno State University star will take the field against the Bills as the lowest-rated starting quarterback in the NFL.’

‘With a trip to Miami looming, the Bills can’t afford a letdown. Bledsoe has another big day in a 27-16 victory.’

‘Pitts has the size (6-4, 320) to overpower the 6-4, 265-pound Schobel in the running game. But Schobel has the speed and athleticism to take advantage of Pitts’ limited quickness and lateral movement in pass-rushing situations.’
