Week 12 kicks off in Houston as the Texans host the Bills on Thursday Night Football, with both teams coming off performances that highlight their current strengths as they fight for playoff contention. Houston continues to lean on its resilience, finding ways to win with backup QB Davis Mills and stellar defense. On the other sideline, Buffalo enters the week after showcasing their explosive offense in a 44-point performance in Tampa Bay.

Matchup Overview

The Texans have found ways to keep their season alive, with QB Davis Mills leading them to back-to-back victories. At 5-5, they are just one game away from a spot in the playoffs, but they are about to enter the toughest stretch of the season (BUF/IND/KC). Their defense ranks #1 in points allowed per game (16.3) and will have to rely heavily on them if they want to have a chance in this one.

After a shocking loss to the Dolphins back in Week 10, the Bills bounced back with an amazing 44-32 victory over the Buccaneers. Josh Allen proved why he is the reigning MVP, scoring 6 touchdowns (3 Pass / 3 Rush). The Bills are ranked 4th in points per game (29.2) and will need to find ways to score against the top-ranked defense in the league.
