Bills’ defense escaped Houston. Detroit may not be so forgiving

‘The Texans rolled up 26 first downs, partly because the Bills – as was a problem last season under Sean McDermott – were not good on the possession downs as Houston converted 9 of 18 third- and fourth-down situations, a 50% success rate that is untenable moving forward. And the defense committed five penalties that gifted Houston first downs, two of those coming on third-down plays, and Houston had 10 plays of 12 yards or more.’
