The Houston Texans, led by quarterback C.J. Stroud's 331 passing yards, secured a dramatic 23-20 victory over the Buffalo Bills. Houston jumped ahead with a swift offensive attack as Cam Akers punctuated their opening drive with a 15-yard touchdown, and Nico Collins stunned the secondary with a 67-yard touchdown reception, building a substantial 17-3 halftime lead. However, the Bills orchestrated a powerful comeback in the second half with standout plays including James Cook's 5-yard rush and Keon Coleman's thrilling 49-yard touchdown on a fourth-down conversion, equalizing the score late in the game.
