‘Over six total years spent with the Bills, the 31-year-old has appeared in 81 games, earning 24 starts and putting up 152 total tackles, 33 tackles for loss, 54 quarterback hits, 21 sacks, 11 passes defended and six forced fumbles.’

‘Once again Brady and his staff didn’t have enough answers for what the Texans were doing upfront. Plays taking too long to develop. Not enough protection for Allen. And getting a fourth down play-call in late that ultimately lost yardage and turned the ball over.’

‘The Buffalo Bills offense fell flat in Houston on “Thursday Night Football” in a 23-19 loss to the Texans at NRG Stadium.’

‘One of the more telling stats of the game was the amount of hits QB Josh Allen took, 12 total hits and eight sacks and McDermott pointed to just how much that played into the final result. “I don’t like that stat at all and it’s not a healthy way to play or a healthy way to keep our QB healthy through the remainder of the season.”’

‘”They wanted it today. We had a chance to win it there at the end and we have to find a way,” said Allen following Thursday night’s loss.’

‘In a nutshell, the Bills’ sixth-straight loss in Houston was all about the NFL’s fourth-highest scoring offense being shut down by the league’s top scoring defense.’

‘If you’re a fan of 1 p.m. kickoffs for Buffalo Bills home games, then you’re in luck for, at least, one more contest this season at Highmark Stadium.’

‘Tight end of Dalton Kincaid (hamstring), wide receiver Curtis Samuel (elbow/neck), and wide receiver/returner Mecole Hardman (calf) will not play in the game.’

‘For the second time this season, the reigning NFL MVP has earned AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors after he tallied six total touchdowns – three rushing and three passing – and accounted for 357 total yards of offense for the Bills in a 44-32 win at Highmark Stadium.’

‘”When he’s on his game, you look out. He’s the best there is in the business. He was on his game last week, that’s for sure. And the offense was rolling.”‘

‘Instead of taking the next step here in 2025, Houston has gone backwards.’

‘Houston is tied for fifth in the NFL with 16 total takeaways, and sixth with a plus-7 turnover margin. They play close games and take advantage of their opponents’ mistakes.’

‘The Bills were able to bounce back at home against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers following a poor offensive performance from last week as the offense found their form again.’

‘”First half, the run game was was not good enough. Second half, we did a better job winning first down some of those first down runs, getting them into some second and seven plus situations, and then it was winning third down after that. Baker made a couple scramble plays, then we changed some things up again. So really, really happy with how both sides adjusted. Staff wise, offensively, I think we were averaging what, 3.8 on first down. We end up with seven yards on first downs. And then defensively, they were averaging seven, and they end up at 4.6 so obviously, something changed, which credit the staff and the players for that.”‘

‘”We got to do a good job on not riding the wave, trying to stay as level as possible, not getting too high and not getting too low,” said Allen. “Starting off 4-0, people say we’re the best team in the world, then we lose two in a row and now we’re the worst team in the world. We don’t want to ride that wave, we just want to stay here, stay consistent, continue to work hard, put together game plans to go out there and execute every game.”‘
