The Houston Texans look for their fifth straight as they hit the road to face the Buffalo Bills, a team reeling from a two game losing streak
The Houston Texans sit at 6-5 and head up to Orchard Park, New York to face the 5-6 Buffalo Bills. The Bills are struggling through a two game skid, but the Texans are winners of four straight.
This looks to be a battle of tough defenses as each team features stout defensive lines which will challenge the other. The similarities don’t end there as they also both boast a first round playmaking receiver from Clemson University.
Sammy Watkins for Buffalo and DeAndre Hopkins for Houston are both big playmakers, although Hopkins has been much more consistent this year.
So can the Houston defense led by defensive end J.J. Watt hold another team in check on their way to a fifth straight victory? Or will Bills coach Rex Ryan find a way to stop his teams’ losing streak while ending the winning ways of the Texans?
