Bills have playoff life with big win over Texans

Location: Ralph Wilson Stadium, Orchard Park, NY

Overall records: Buffalo (6-6), Houston (6-6)

In a Nutshell:
The Bills needed a win in the worst way and their offense carried them in the first half followed by a big defensive effort in the second half to lift Buffalo to a 30-21 victory to keep their AFC playoff hopes alive.

With the win Buffalo pulled even with Houston as both teams now sit at 6-6, with the Bills earning the head-to-head tiebreaker.

Tied at 21 at the two-minute warning, Tyrod Taylor found a wide open Charles Clay down the seam with 1:53 remaining and he waltzed into the end zone for a 40-yard touchdown to put Buffalo ahead for good.
