“We’re playing good,” Phillips said. “They didn’t make many third downs on us, and they got most of their yards in the final 50 seconds of the first half and the last four minutes. Plus, we got a big three-and-out to start the second half.”

While the Bills altered just 2 of 11 third-down possibilities, or an 18% (lack of) success rate. The Texans had been permitting conversions solely 27.5% of the time before their off week, additionally second league-wide.

“It’s always a little iffy coming off the bye week,” defensive end Antonio Smith said. “Coaches always worry a little about you. So this was big what we did today. We had to fight. This was no easy game. But it got us back into the groove. Making those (red zone) stops, then getting off the field on third downs … it was good to see. We went back out in the second half and made a statement.”
