Josh Allen’s inconsistencies persist in loss at Houston
Digest more
Texans (+5.5) over Bills. Buffalo's defense is reeling at the moment, allowing 30 or more points in back-to-back games. The Bills' run defense has been abysmal, surrendering 5.4 yards per carry (second most in the NFL). That could result in a strong day for the Texans on the ground, which could help tip the scales in favor of an upset.
The MVP quarterback was battered and harassed, as he was sacked a career-high eight times in this Thursday Night Football game. The Texans, whose defense entered Week 12 ranked first in the NFL in total yards, handled Allen and his line, causing him to throw two interceptions and post a 67.4 passer rating.
The other quarterback is coming off a historic game. Reigning NFL MVP Josh Allen had six touchdowns last week, three passing and three receiving. Allen now has two of three games in NFL history with three passing touchdowns and three rushing touchdowns. Otto Graham has the other, in 1954.
