In a thrilling Week 12 matchup, the Buffalo Bills topped the Houston Texans 37-30, solidifying their playoff aspirations as the season heads into its final stretch. Both teams entered the game looking to gain momentum, but it was Buffalo that emerged victorious in a high-scoring affair.
Josh Allen was the star for the Bills, throwing for 296 yards and three touchdowns, leading his team’s offensive charge. Dalton Kincaid was his primary target, racking up 103 receiving yards, while Ashton Jeanty stood out for the Texans with 83 rushing yards, keeping the pressure on Buffalo throughout the game.
Defensively, Christian Benford led the Bills with eight tackles, playing a crucial role in limiting Houston's scoring opportunities. A key turning point came late in the fourth quarter when Cole Bishop intercepted a pass, stifling a potential game-tying drive for the Texans and sealing the victory for Buffalo. Will Anderson Jr. also made his mark for Houston, recording two sacks, but it was not enough to overcome the Bills' offensive firepower.
