Record fell and droughts ended in Buffalo’s Week 1 in over Texans

Josh Allen delivered a standout four-touchdown performance to propel the Buffalo Bills to a 36-31 triumph over the Houston Texans in their 2026 season opener at NRG Stadium. Marking Joe Brady's debut as head coach, the victory brought an end to an almost 20-year drought for the franchise in Houston.

Allen orchestrated a historic fourth-quarter comeback drive, capping it off with a decisive score to Joshua Palmer with under two minutes remaining on the clock.

Buffalo's supporting cast proved crucial throughout the contest, with Greg Rousseau providing steady pressure on defense alongside contributions from tight end Dalton Kincaid. Following the hard-fought road victory, the team disclosed that Allen had set a new NFL record during the matchup.
