The Bills truly need to win this game to stay relevant in the AFC East, a division which has seen the England Patriots dominate this season. After a billion years of hearing that phrase, Bills fans don’t feel like they’ve had enough time on top to make up for the dynasty that was the Patriots.

The Texans’ defense bullied the Bills’ offense, sacking Josh Allen eight times to lead Houston to the win. The Texans also had two interceptions. Houston played without starting quarterback C.J. Stroud for the third straight game and is 3-0 in that stretch. Stroud is expected back next week.

With the Denver Broncos win last night, the New England Patriots now need to keep their win streak going to keep ahold of that number one seed in the AFC. They should have an easier path to achieve that with the 2-10 New York Giants visiting for Monday Night Football.
