‘Winning a road game against another potential AFC contender was an ideal opening statement. The Bills were not perfect. Their defense surrendered 31 points, and Houston moved the ball into scoring range on the final possession. Buffalo’s secondary also struggled to consistently limit Stroud and Nico Collins. Yet the plays that mattered most belonged to the Bills. Allen created the winning touchdown when Buffalo had almost no margin for error. Rousseau then produced the defensive play needed to preserve it.’
