Sammy Watkins up, Dan Carpenter down in Bills' win

A look at Buffalo Bills players who were "up" and those who were "down" in Sunday's 30-21 win over the Houston Texans:

UP

Sammy Watkins: His first-quarter touchdown catch made him the third Bills player to score at catch at least 12 touchdown receptions in his first two seasons, joining Lee Evans (16, 2004-05) and Elbert Dubenion (13, 1960-61). Watkins' performance again backed up what he said earlier this season: even when he's covered, throw him the ball. He'll catch it.

Tyrod Taylor: It was far from a perfect afternoon from Taylor, who completed 11 of 21 passes, but it was his lack of interceptions that defined his afternoon.
