"The Texans' defense displayed why they're the No. 1-ranked defense in prime time as they held the Bills offense to 12 points. Their defense came in allowing only 16.4 points per game and showed why they're arguably one of the best defenses in recent seasons. The unit sacked Bills quarterback Josh Allen eight times and when it mattered most, Houston's defense sealed the win with an interception by safety Calen Bullock."
"Surprising performance: Backup Davis Mills threw for two touchdowns and led the Texans offense to 23 points while out-playing the MVP on the other side. Houston's season looked shaky when it lost quarterback C.J. Stroud against the Denver Broncos to a concussion and the team sat at 3-5 overall. But Mills stepped in and operated the offense well enough to improve his record to 3-0."
