Texans' defense comes up big in TNF win against Bills

HOUSTON -- The Texans are squarely back in the playoff race after a massive 23-19 win against the Buffalo Bills on "Thursday Night Football."

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.
