Davis Mills Ready to Lead Texans Against Josh Allen and Bills
Alright, so here’s the latest buzz in the NFL world. The Buffalo Bills are heading into Houston on Thursday night to face the Texans, and while Josh Allen just had one of the best games of his career last week against the Buccaneers—throwing three touchdowns and running for three more—he’s reminded of a game that didn’t exactly go his way. Last season, Allen threw for just 131 yards against the Texans and had three straight incompletions on Buffalo’s final drive, which led to a last-second field goal giving Houston a 23-20 win. Allen himself admitted that it wasn’t his best performance, saying, “I got beat up that game. Didn’t play well at all.” Watching the film, he’s looking to improve and move the ball more efficiently this time around.
But this isn’t going to be an easy matchup. The Texans boast the NFL’s top-ranked defense, allowing the fewest yards and points in the league. Defensive end Will Anderson Jr., fresh off forcing and recovering a fumble last week, acknowledged that slowing down a quarterback like Allen requires everyone being on the same page. “MVP, he’s a playmaker,” Anderson said. “It’s going to be a great challenge for us, but this is what the league is for—these Thursday night moments against top teams.”

Houston will be leaning on Davis Mills again under center, as starting quarterback C.J. Stroud is out with a concussion for a third straight game. Mills comes off wins against Jacksonville and Tennessee, highlighted by clutch fourth-quarter performances. Coach DeMeco Ryans emphasized that Mills has been executing the fundamentals and details of his job correctly, and that’s all the team asks of him.
On the Bills’ side, safety Cole Bishop is moving past memories of his first career start against Houston last season, where he was burned a few times while filling in for an injured teammate. Bishop has clearly developed since then, recording three interceptions this season, including one in each of Buffalo’s last two games alongside veteran Jordan Poyer.
Meanwhile, Houston receiver Nico Collins has been on fire, putting together two of his best games of the season in the past couple of weeks. After a slow stretch earlier in the season, he’s now seen as a key focal point of the Texans’ offense, making big plays and showing his dynamic hands.
Bills coach Sean McDermott addressed Keon Coleman’s absence against Tampa Bay due to being late for a team meeting, noting that trust and consistency will determine when he returns to action. On the Texans’ side, kicker Ka’imi Fairbairn is expected to come back after missing two games with a quadriceps injury, with Matthew Wright having filled in admirably in his absence.
So, Thursday night’s game is shaping up to be a real showdown—Josh Allen trying to bounce back against the league’s stingiest defense, and Davis Mills looking to prove he can keep the Texans competitive without Stroud. It’s going to be an intense, high-stakes matchup under the bright lights of primetime.
