**Texans Secure Dramatic 23-20 Victory Over Bills with Last-Second Field Goal**

In a thrilling AFC showdown, the Houston Texans overcame the loss of their star wide receiver Nico Collins and a blown 20-3 third-quarter lead to edge out the Buffalo Bills 23-20. Despite Buffalo's late comeback, the Texans clinched the win with a 59-yard walk-off field goal as the game clock expired.

Following the injury to Collins, Houston's offense initially surged ahead with a 70-yard touchdown drive on their second possession, followed by a 67-yard touchdown pass from CJ Stroud to Collins, giving Houston a 14-3 second-quarter lead. By halftime, Houston added another field goal, heading into the break with a comfortable 17-3 advantage while Buffalo's offense faltered.

Buffalo's quarterback Josh Allen struggled early, completing just one of his first nine passes and finishing the first half with only 56 yards on six completions. However, the Bills showed signs of life in the second half, scoring touchdowns on their first two drives and narrowing the deficit to 20-17 with 4:20 left in the third quarter.

Houston's momentum stalled in the second half following Stroud's two critical turnovers. An interception in Bills territory and a fumble deep in Houston's end set Buffalo up for potential scoring opportunities. The Bills managed to tie the game at 20-20 after one of these turnovers but failed to capitalize further.

In the final moments, the Bills' clock mismanagement ultimately sealed their fate. Taking over possession at their 3-yard line with 32 seconds left, Buffalo failed to run out the clock, resulting in a punt back to Houston. With only seven seconds remaining, the Texans took advantage of a short field, setting up Ka'imi Fairbairn for the game-winning 59-yard field goal.

Stroud ended the game completing 28 of 38 passes for 331 yards with one touchdown, despite his two turnovers. On the other side, Allen had one of the toughest games of his career, completing just 9 of 30 passes for 131 yards and one touchdown.

The victory moved Houston to 4-1, maintaining their control of the AFC South, while Buffalo fell to 3-2 after a blazing 3-0 start. Next, the Bills aim to bounce back against the New York Jets, whereas the Texans will seek to build on their strong start against the New England Patriots.
