How did the Bills lose to Texans? Baffling time management decisions cost Buffalo
‘The Bills botched the opportunity to run the clock out at the end of regulation and play for the win in overtime. Houston played the second half without their star wide receiver, Nico Collins, who left the game with an injury. The Texan’s offense struggled after he exited, and the Bills had all of the momentum.’

‘It looked to be Houston in complete control of this game, but that all changed when Josh Allen finally got something going on offense in the second half.’
Bills’ Sean McDermott takes blame for late clock management
‘”That’s on me, the end-of-game situation on offense,” McDermott said after the 23-20 loss. “We’re in a tough situation … they were holding three timeouts; they got a good field goal kicker. We needed to run the clock and move the chains, and that’s on me. We didn’t do that there, and that’s my fault.”‘

Texans vs. Bills score, takeaways: Buffalo’s baffling late-game decisions lead to Houston’s game-winning FG
‘Buffalo did an admirable job coming back from a 17-point deficit in this one, but what Sean McDermott and Joe Brady decided to do in the final minute of this one was head-scratching. With 32 seconds left, Josh Allen went deep to Keon Coleman, Mack Hollins and Curtis Samuel on consecutive plays. All the passes were incomplete and killed just 15 seconds off the clock — forcing the Bills to punt.’
Josh Allen Briefly Leaves Bills-Texans Game After Hitting Head on Field

The Buffalo Bills failed Josh Allen in Week 5 loss to Texans
‘The Bills couldn’t separate all day, which led to Allen having to throw into tight windows on nearly an every-down basis. That’s not to say he was flawless – he slightly overthrew Mack Hollins on what could have been a touchdown, and led Dalton Kincaid a bit too far on what would have been a first down. Both took place in the first quarter. The rest of the game featured bad play-calls be Joe Brady, bad protection from the offensive line, and bad game management by Sean McDermott.’
