Bills open scoring with trick
A big key for the Bills heading into this one was opening the scoring. The Bills did that for the first time in awhile. Week 9 against the Washington Redskins was the last time the Bills scored an opening touchdown in the first quarter. Since then, the often scripted plays called by Buffalo offensive coordinator Brian Daboll have been… less than stellar.
The opposite was the case against the Texans. The Bills and quarterback Josh Allen, specfically, got creative. Allen made big moves with his legs, as he scampered 42 yards down the right side of the field, putting his team in scoring position. From there, things got tricky. Three plays later, Allen handed the ball off to wide receiver John Brown on an end around. Allen then ran out for a pass himself and scored. Allen was tackled low and held on for an impressive play. That put the pressure on the Texans early.
