Play by Play

Houston defense on the ensuing series had stopped the Bills (3-3) on third down at the Buffalo 34 when Jay Foreman, an ex-Bill traded to Houston, lost his cool.

"I take full responsiblity," Foreman said. "I shouldn’t have done that. I’m not even that kind of person or player… I don’t know what happened and I don’t know why. I still can’t believe it. That was a selfish play. I feel real bad."

Three overtime games this season toughened the Buffalo Bills for just the kind of comeback they engineered against the Houston Texans. Drew 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.

D. Bledsoe 19/33 for 254 yds, 2 TDs; T. Henry 28 carries for 159 yds, 2 TDs (1 fumble lost); P. Williams 8 tackles and an assist.

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."
