Josh Allen guided the Buffalo Bills to a dramatic, late triumph against the Houston Texans, snapping a historical road slump where the franchise had previously never secured a win in Houston. Entering the season-opening matchup, Allen had notably faced past challenges opposing the Texans, prompting skepticism and even bold forecasts that Buffalo might fail to register a single point against Houston's defensive unit overseen by coordinator Matt Burke.
Allen proved his standing after recently capturing the top spot over Patrick Mahomes in Albert Breer's league executive poll, where he garnered 49 first-place nods from front-office leaders and coaches.
The contest turned as Allen delivered against Houston's defense, highlighted by a lengthy touchdown strike to Moore. Buffalo's offense, which also featured wideout Keon Coleman as an anticipated key contributor, found enough momentum to pull off the tight road win.
Elsewhere across the NFL's opening weekend slate, the Chicago Bears reached the 50-point mark in a game for the initial time since 2012.
