Joe B: 7 Observations from Buffalo Bills vs. Houston Texans (10/14/18)
(WKBW) - There were 13 minutes left on the clock at NRG Stadium. The Buffalo Bills saw backup quarterback Nathan Peterman lead a touchdown drive to put the Bills ahead of the Houston Texans, erasing a 10-point lead in what had previously appeared to be a slowly building deficit.
Then, Peterman -- and the rest of the Bills by association -- imploded. The second-year quarterback threw a pick-six and went from possible hero to goat within a half an hour. The Bills wound up losing 20-13, which brings their record to 2-4 on the 2018 season.
How did it all happen? Seven observations from the Bills' most recent loss:
1) Josh Allen struggles again, and now might miss time
2) Blame Peterman for another collapse, but blame McDermott more
3) The defense is legit, folks
4) Kyle Williams gives his best performance of 2018
5) White passes his biggest test
6) Special teams gifted the Texans their lead
7) Zay Jones is beginning to turn a corner
Bills MVP: SLB Lorenzo Alexander
- His tip-drill interception was a thing of beauty. Adding 1.5 sacks on the game was also another indication that Alexander might be having the best season of his career, which is saying something considering how good he was two seasons ago.
Bills LVP: QB Nathan Peterman
- Another unraveling for Peterman has to leave you wondering what his future is with the Bills, considering this is now a theme with him in his career.
Up Next: The Bills (2-4) take on the Indianapolis Colts (1-5) on the road on Sunday, October 21 at 1:00 pm.
