Though only one game separates the Buffalo Bills (2-1) and the Houston Texans (1-2) in the AFC standings, Sunday’s Week 4 matchup between the Bills and the Texans pits two teams heading in opposite directions.
After suffering a disappointing loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2021 season opener, Buffalo has rebounded to win two straight by a combined score of 78-21. Quarterback Josh Allen is reverting to his NFL MVP runner-up status from last year and has the offense rounding into form following a slow start.
Allen was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week for the seventh time in his young career after completing 74 percent of his passes for 358 yards and five total touchdowns (four passing), while wideout Emmanuel Sanders caught five passes for 94 yards with a pair of TDs and Cole Beasley added 11 catches for 98 yards in a dominant 43-21 win over Washington in Week 3.
