As he previewed the Texans’ Week 7 matchup against the Green Bay Packers, Ryans emphasized that the outcome may largely depend on how well the Houston defense can contain Love.</p><p>“Going against Jordan Love this week, he will be the best quarterback we’ve seen this year,” the Texans <a href="https://x.com/jonmalexander/status/1845896885619282119" rel="noopener">head coach said</a>. “It will be a really, really tough matchup.”</p><p>Ryans’ assertion stands out as bold but carries weight. Love ranks second in the league with 12 passing touchdowns and an average of 282.7 yards per game, all while recovering from a knee injury he suffered at the end of Green Bay’s Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil.</p><h2><b>Jordan Love gets huge praise from DeMeco Ryans</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Packers-Jordan-Love-against-the-Cardinals.jpg"><figcaption>Tork Mason / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Love comes off a breakout 2023 season, throwing for over 4,000 yards and 32 touchdowns in his first year as the Packers’ starter. While he still makes some costly mistakes, the Texans will look to exploit those vulnerabilities. Despite this, Ryans’ viewpoint aligns with a growing consensus about the Green Bay quarterback’s potential.</p><p>The second-year starter is fresh off his best performance of the season. Love passed for 258 yards and four touchdowns in a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/packers-news-jordan-love-reveals-awesome-moment-from-cardinals-beatdown">34-13 victory over the Arizona Cardinals</a>, completing 22 of his 32 attempts.</p><p>DeMeco Ryans’ defense stifled former MVP favorite Josh Allen, limiting him to a career-low 30 percent completion rate during their <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/texans-overreactions-thrilling-victory-over-bills">Week 5 victory over the Buffalo Bills</a>. In their subsequent game, the Texans intercepted 2024 No. 3 overall draft pick Drake Maye three times, dominating the New England Patriots with a 41-21 victory.</p><p>Ryans implied that Jordan Love may outperform Josh Allen in their upcoming matchup. Allen, widely regarded as one of the league’s top quarterbacks, struggled during a recent game against the Texans.</p><p>Love, who hasn’t played in every game this season, has shown promise, but suggesting he could surpass Allen’s performance has sparked controversy and speculation among fans and analysts alike.</p><h2><b>Ryans putting Love over Josh Allen</b></h2><p>Allen struggled against Houston, completing just 9 of 30 passes for a mere 131 yards and one touchdown. These statistics fall short of his usual performance levels.</p><p>According to ESPN stats analyst Alaina Getzenberg, Allen’s 30% completion rate marks the lowest for any quarterback with 30 or more attempts in the last three decades.</p><p>Texans safety Calen Bullock, who caught Maye’s first career interception, recognizes that they’ll face a higher level of competition this week.</p><p>“Jordan Love is a talented, talented quarterback. I think everybody knows that. He’s in a good area with Green Bay. He has a good receiver corps that he believes in. A lot of passing out of those guys, and we know we got to be up for that challenge,” said Bullock via Sam Warren of Houston Chronicle.</p><p>Love has thrown 12 passing touchdowns in just four games this season, missing two games due to a sprained MCL. His total ties him for the second-most in the league alongside Joe Burrow and places him just three touchdowns behind NFL leader Baker Mayfield, who has 15. Love’s touchdown count through his first four games mirrors some of the MVP seasons of both Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre.</p><p>The showdown between C.J. Stroud and Jordan Love is set to be one of the NFL’s top quarterback battles this season, reinforcing Ryans’ statement. The two squads will meet at Lambeau Field at 1 p.m. Eastern, with the game airing on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Mixon, who was listed as questionable on the injury report, missed practice on Wednesday and was <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/texans-joe-mixon-returns-to-practice-after-injury-concerns">limited on Thursday and Friday</a> as he continues to recover from an ankle injury sustained in Week 2.</p><p>The Texans have had a strong start to their 2024 NFL season, sitting at 4-1. Mixon was a key contributor early on, rushing for 184 yards and one touchdown on 39 carries in his first game and a half with the team. However, during their 19-13 win over the Chicago Bears in Week 2, Mixon suffered an ankle injury following a controversial hip-drop tackle by Bears linebacker TJ Edwards in the second quarter.</p><h2><b>Joe Mixon is expected to play in Texans Week 6 matchup against Patriots</b></h2><p>In his first public comments since the injury, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/texans-news-joe-mixon-breaks-silence-injury-scathing-hip-drop-tackle-call-out">Mixon didn’t hide his frustration</a>.</p><p>“You got to think, I was No. 1 in the league in rushing.

Mixon’s presence will be vital as Houston aims to build on its early season success and maintain momentum in the competitive AFC South.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Texans are 4-1 going into Week 6 despite missing one of their best offensive contributors. Former Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon got off to a hot debut with the Texans, but he suffered an ankle injury during Week 2’s Chicago Bears victory that has held him out. Mixon expressed frustration about the play that has sidelined him amid his recovery.</p><p>During the second quarter of the Sep. 15 Bears-Texans game, TJ Edwards performed a hip-drop tackle on Mixon that resulted in the RB’s ankle ailment. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/texans-news-joe-mixon-fed-up-reaction-to-refs-missing-hip-drop-tackle-call-that-led-to-injury">Mixon did not appreciate the tackle method</a> and was disappointed the officials did not assess Edwards a penalty at the time of the incident. Roughly a week later, the NFL fined Edwards $16,833 for the illegal tackle.</p><p>Thankfully, Joe Mixon had a promising recovery period and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/texans-joe-mixon-returns-to-practice-after-injury-concerns">returned to practice on Thursday</a>.

I want to be out there. Obviously, I was stopped because of that weak a** hip-drop tackle,” Mixon said in his first public comments since the ankle injury, per Jonathan Alexander of the Houston Chronicle.</p><p>In his first game and a half with the Texans, Mixon totaled a stout 184 yards and one TD on 39 carries. He added a strong dose of offense to support CJ Stroud and the rest of Houston’s contributors. Mixon wishes he could have been on the field with his team in Weeks 3 through 5, but now, he continues to focus on ramping up his activity.</p><p>Mixon played an integral role in helping the Bengals advance to Super Bowl 56 in 2022 after a career year. He aspires to help the Texans achieve greatness of their own by the end of the 2024 season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Texans decided to place Nico Collins on injured reserve, which will <a href="https://x.com/jjones9/status/1844022957385125944" rel="noopener">force him to miss at least the next four games</a>.</p><p>There are a few possible reasons why the Texans decided to go this route with Collins.</p><p>One possibility is that the injury is actually worse than initially reported.

Stroud led his team to victory by throwing for more than 300 yards. Meanwhile, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bills-news-josh-allen-unwanted-nfl-history-heartbreaking-loss-texans">Texans’ defense put the clamps on Josh Allen</a> and held him to an uncharacteristically low sub-150 passing-yard game.</p><p>Is Stroud on his way to having his name mentioned alongside Patrick Mahomes, Allen, and Aaron Rodgers? Did the Texans’ defense prove its worth as one of the league’s elite while hastening the downfall of the Bills QB? What about Cam Akers? Can he still be a valuable contributor after being all but written off by the league? Let’s find out.</p><h2><b>CJ Stroud can be the best quarterback in the league</b></h2><p>CJ Stroud is no longer just a feel-good story about a rookie who put together a string of decent performances or somebody who did the bare minimum to break the curse associated with Ohio State quarterbacks.</p><p>Stroud has emerged as a legitimate starting quarterback worthy of leading a Super Bowl contender. He has precise accuracy with his passes and always seems to make the right decision. He knows when to take shots down the field and when to play it safe and take what the defense gives him.</p><p>Stroud threw an interception this week, which was surprising in and of itself, because of how good he has been at protecting the football. This shows how good he is when it comes to protecting the ball and why he can be a franchise quarterback. It is clear that the Texans trust Stroud to throw all over the field without costing them the game.</p><p>He’s an incredibly intellectual player who does an excellent job of reading defenses and processing the game. Stroud knows where defensive traps are going to be and he can avoid them while finding openings and hitting his receivers. Stroud is able to fit passes into tight windows, and he has a good grasp on when to gamble versus when to play it safe.</p><p>That is the ultimate balancing act and one of the most difficult skills for a quarterback to learn. The fact that Stroud has proven himself a dependable and capable leader this early in his career is incredibly positive for the Texans’ future.</p><h2><b>The Texans’ defense is legit</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Texans-D.jpg"><figcaption>Thomas Shea-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Yes, at a glance the Texans defense gave up decent numbers to the running backs. In total, though, the team’s rush defense held the Bills’ rushing attack to <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/boxscore/_/gameId/401671859" rel="noopener">less than 150 yards</a>. That wasn’t anywhere near the most impressive thing about their performance in Week 5, though.</p><p>What the Texans did this week in the pass-defense phase of the game was nothing short of remarkable.</p><p>Allen is widely considered to be one of the best quarterbacks in the league and is frequently mentioned alongside elite players such as Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson. Allen is a dynamic dual-threat quarterback with an absolute howitzer attached to his right shoulder. He can sling the ball 70 yards down the field with seemingly just a flick of the wrist, and he can throw laser beams when necessary to thread the ball between multiple layers of defenders.</p><p>The Bills QB  might not be the best when it comes to reading defenses, but he has improved greatly in that phase of the game, and he more than makes up for it with his talent. The Texans’ defense was able to make Allen look like an undrafted rookie getting his first taste of the speed of the NFL. If they can maintain that level of play, Houston could win the Super Bowl as early as this season.</p><h2><b>The Texans’ wide receiver room is incredibly balanced</b></h2><p>Coming into the season, newcomer Stefon Diggs was heralded as the team’s go-to wide receiver. Diggs has certainly lived up to that billing, but it hasn’t taken away from what the rest of the receiving corps is able to do.</p><p>For example, in Week 5 three pass-catchers — Diggs, Nico Collins, and Dare Ogunbowale — had more than 50 receiving yards, and two of them, Diggs and Collins, had north of 75 yards. Three other Texans — Tank Dell, Dalton Schultz, and Xavier Hutchinson — had more than 30 yards through the air.</p><p>Ultimately, Diggs led the team in yardage, but Collins found the end zone.</p><p>Stroud is reminiscent of Tom Brady in his ability to spread the wealth and get everybody involved, and his receivers are capable of stepping up to the moment and producing when Stroud calls their number.</p><h2><b>Cam Akers still has something left in the tank</b></h2><p>Cam Akers didn’t have the best statistical performance, but the underlying metrics tell a different story. He found the promised land once and averaged just north of four and a half yards per carry. There’s nothing to be ashamed of with that level of production, and Akers showed that he’s still a guy who can get the job done.</p><p>He was once one of the most highly touted high school running backs in the country and was praised as the next great Florida State runner at one time. Akers’ career did not take off the way that many expected it would, in part due to the toll that injuries took on his body. When he has a defined and limited role, though, he can still be a positive contributor to an NFL offense. This is a very good thing for the Texans and the team’s fans.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Ahead of the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/patriots-news-drake-maye-make-1st-nfl-start-texans">Patriots-Texans game</a>, we’ll be making our Drake Maye Week 6 predictions.</p><p>The Patriots hit the reset button this past offseason after legendary head coach/general manager Bill Belichick’s retirement. Executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf is now the de-facto general manager, and former inside linebackers coach Jerod Mayo was promoted to the head coach role. The pair’s legacy will be heavily tied to rookie quarterback Drake Maye, who they drafted third overall out of North Carolina this past spring.</p><p>After backing up Sam Howell as a redshirt freshman in 2021, Maye passed his way onto the NFL radar in ’22, tossing 4,321 yards with 38 touchdowns (both school records) and seven picks on a 66.2 completion percentage. He also added 698 yards and seven scores on the ground, leading the Tar Heels to ACC Championship Game and Holiday Bowl appearances. His breakout campaign earned him ACC Player of the Year, Offensive Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year, and first-team All-ACC honors.</p><p>Maye slightly regressed the following year, but still made second-team All-ACC and was high on draft boards. The 6-foot-4, 225-pounder was <a href="https://www.nfl.com/prospects/drake-maye/32004d41-5928-9639-2999-10019fb4c292?affiliateCustomId=3Cem0CyJJBthSjz7bmepgxkvmGTBzAiclz0PbxaekU7qAj&amp;affiliateId=96525&amp;clickId=4873335944&amp;icampaign=npl-ros-adv" rel="noopener">considered an exciting gunslinger</a> that needed to improve his decision-making, via NFL Network’s Lance Zierlein.</p><p>“Challenging evaluation with top-flight measurables and tools but inconsistencies that create a lower floor. Maye’s size and arm talent jump off the tape immediately,” Zierlein said. “He can make every throw, but he will try to make throws that he shouldn’t have attempted. The gunslinger mentality creates a fearlessness that can turn into interceptions, but it will also allow him to win in tight windows and make splash throws that get crowds (and evaluators) on their feet.”</p><p>“The combination of traits and tape make him a boom/bust prospect who might need patient management and coaching to help shepherd him toward his potential.”</p><p>Just five weeks into the season, the Patriots now consider him ready to play in the NFL at just 22 years old. Will this decision blow up in their face? Let’s discuss it in our Drake Maye Week 6 predictions.</p><p><i><b>*Watch NFL games LIVE with fuboTV (<a href="https://www.fubo.tv/stream/football/?irad=356362&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener">free trial</a>)* </b></i></p><h2><b>Drake Maye will complete a 50-yard pass against Texans</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Drake-Maye-playing-against-the-Jets.jpg"><figcaption>Brad Penner-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Maye is still raw, but New England didn’t draft him to be a game manager. That was Jacoby Brissett’s role, who completed 58.5% of his passes for 696 yards with two touchdowns and one pick across the first five games. While the veteran kept the ball out of harm’s way, he didn’t create many big plays, which is partially why the Patriots rank 31st with 12.4 points per game.</p><p>Expect Maye to take more shots down the field, which will lead to more turnovers, but also more chunk plays. The North Carolina native doesn’t have much talent to work with, but establishing the run with Rhamondre Stevenson should help open up looks in the passing game. A deep completion to the speedy DeMario Douglas or Ja’Lynn Polk is more feasible with the rookie under center.</p><h2><b>Drake Maye will throw two interceptions </b></h2><p>At some point, New England will probably be down against the superior Texans, which will lead Maye to press and force throws into tight coverage, especially towards the end of the game. Offenses are easier to defend against when the defense is expecting the pass, as it becomes a one-dimensional attack. A rookie making his first start isn’t ready to constantly be on the back foot.</p><h2><b>Drake Maye will lead two Patriots touchdown drives</b></h2><p>With that being said, Maye’s arm talent and energy will bring New England’s offense new life, leading to one passing and rushing touchdown. The Patriots only scored two touchdowns in a game once this season, which came in the 23-20 overtime loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2. This would be an impressive showing for the rookie in his first start, as Houston ranks third in the NFL with just 5.9 pass yards allowed per attempt.</p><h2><b>Texans will beat Patriots</b></h2><p>Maye’s performance will be a mixed bag, leading to a two-possession loss to Houston. His final stat line will be in the neighborhood of a 55 completion percentage with 200 yards, one touchdown, two interceptions, and 20 rushing yards while leading the team to 17 points scored.

Instead, Sean McDermott, Joe Brady, Josh Allen and the entire offense <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bills-news-sean-mcdermott-just-totally-blew-game-vs-texans">collapsed in the game’s final moments</a>, allowing Houston to set up a game-winning 59-yard field goal for Ka’imi Fairbairn to prevent the comeback.</p><p>On paper, losing by three to this iteration of the Texans without leading receiver Khalil Shakir and five starters on defense should be a moral victory, especially considering that the Bills trailed 20-3 early in the third quarter. Yet, the game was well within reach in the closing moments before being puzzlingly thrown away to somehow still end in a frustrating defeat.</p><p>While the team still put forth a valiant effort that will largely get overshadowed, the lack of execution was often glaringly evident with a few players more to blame than others.</p><h2><b>Sean McDermott / Joe Brady</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Sean-McDermott.jpg"><figcaption>Troy Taormina-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>When looking back at this loss, all people will remember is the Bills’ final drive of the game. The game was knotted at 20-20 with 40 seconds remaining when Texans’ punter Tommy Townsend was last on the field to give Buffalo one last shot in regulation. Perhaps if the punt sailed into the end zone the game would have ended differently but Townsend’s kick was expertly downed inside the five-yard line.</p><p>What happened next nearly broke <a href="https://www.si.com/nfl/bills/news/buffalo-bills-nfl-redzone-scott-hanson-clock-management" rel="noopener">NFL Red Zone host Scott Hanson</a>. Instead of running out the clock to go into overtime, the Bills dialed up three straight deep pass plays that all fell incomplete, forcing them to punt from inside their own end zone with 15 seconds still on the clock. Two plays later, Fairbairn’s kick sent the Bills packing.</p><p>The thought process was clearly to hit a home run ball but was set up at the most inopportune time and directly caused the loss. It almost looked like something a player would do in Madden. Brady, the offensive coordinator, is responsible for the play calling but the responsibility must be placed on head coach McDermott, who had a look of confusion on his face during the infamous drive and rightfully accepted the fault after the game.</p><p>In the biggest moment of the game, nothing was organized and it seemed as if the Bills were completely unprepared for such a scenario.</p><h2><b>Mack Hollins</b></h2><p>With Shakir out, the Bills turned to veteran journeyman Mack Hollins as a fill-in starter. The expectations for Hollins could not have been very high but regardless, they were not met.</p><p>In a game that Allen threw for just 131 yards — more on that later — Hollins recorded just two catches for 27 yards. It was less about his numbers and more about what he left on the table. Allen missed Hollins on multiple deep shots that would have accounted for big plays, something that only comes with timing and repetitions. However, to the naked eye, Hollins appeared to be the player most at fault with poor route running and losing the ball in the air.</p><p>Hollins is a backup receiver for a reason and nobody expected him to mimic the production of Shakir. That being said, he was given many chances to make a big impact on this game and failed almost every time.</p><h2><b>Josh Allen</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Josh-Allen.jpg"><figcaption>Thomas Shea-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>It is always difficult for a quarterback — even one as good as Allen — to play without his top target. Allen was forced to do that in Week 5 with Shakir sidelined but his play was still substandard. For someone who some consider to be the best signal caller in the league, completing nine of 30 passes is inexcusable regardless of personnel.</p><p>Allen played a bulk of the game hurt after hitting his head hard on the turf but even before then looked lost against the Texans’ defense. Eight of the Bills’ 12 drives in the game ended with a punt with Allen routinely unable to get on the same page with multiple receivers. Keon Coleman caught the only touchdown of Allen’s on the night, a 49-yard catch-and-run, and had it not been for that play, the Pro Bowler might have ended with under 100 passing yards.</p><h2>Cole Bishop</h2><p>It is almost unfair to place the responsibility of a loss on a rookie making his first career start but not a lot went well for Cole Bishop in his rude awakening at the professional level. On paper, Bishop had a fine stat line with four tackles but came up empty on numerous missed tackles and assignments.</p><p>Most notably, Bishop appeared to be the one at fault for Nico Collins’ 67-yard touchdown despite Rasul Douglas taking the blame after the game. The play looked to be zone coverage but for some reason, Bishop did not provide help over the top of Collins and instead got caught staring at Stroud, giving the NFL’s leading receiver an easy score.</p><p>Overall, Bishop is not really at fault and was put into this position with the Bills’s secondary struggling with health. He simply was not ready for this moment, something that was increasingly evident as the game progressed.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Coming into Week 5, the Texans already had a few injuries, and head coach DeMeco Ryans gave an update on Joe Mixon and Christian Harris.</p><p>Ryans said that Joe Mixon is still <a href="https://x.com/AaronWilson_NFL/status/1843374262851383807" rel="noopener">being evaluated</a> week to week, but he’s still improving as time goes on. For linebacker Christian Harris, he <a href="https://x.com/AaronWilson_NFL/status/1843374157767291235" rel="noopener">won’t be returning</a> to practice as he started the season on injured reserve.</p><p>Harris had been dealing with a strained calf, while Mixon missed his third straight game with a sprained ankle. Cam Akers and Dare Ogunbowale have stepped up in the running game while Mixon still recovers.</p><p>The hope is that both Mixon and Harris can come back in a few weeks so the Texans can get close to full strength.</p><h2>Texans dealing with multiple injuries</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Joe-Mixon.jpg"><figcaption>Troy Taormina-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Along with Joe Mixon and Christian Harris, Nico Collins was the recent Texans player to suffer an injury. C.J. Stroud and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/texans-news-c-j-strouds-celebration-nico-collins-td-viral">Nico Collins connected on a 67-yard touchdown</a> in the first quarter, but <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/texans-nico-collins-appears-to-suffer-injury-on-long-td">Collins suffered a hamstring injury during the play</a>. Collins limped to the sidelines and went into the medical tent, then headed to the locker room where he was declared out for the rest of the game.</p><p>At first, Collins was listed as day-to-day, but Ryans noted that the wide receiver would be week-to-week with his hamstring injury. That means that Collins has a real chance of missing the Week 6 matchup against the New England Patriots.</p><p>Collins has probably been one of the best receivers this season, as he entered Week 5 with a league-high 567 receiving yards. Hamstring injuries are hard to call, and it’s not good to rush back from them because there’s a possibility of making it worse.</p><p>The Texans should take it slow with Collins, and luckily for them, they have a few reliable receivers already on the team that can pick up his workload if need be.</p><p>Having your top receiver and running back out with injury is not good, but the Texans have reliable depth in those positions to help them. Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell will have to step up in Collins’ absence, while Cam Akers continues to take most of the workload with Mixon out. C.J. Stroud has also shown the ability to make plays when they matter the most, so the Texans should be in good shape.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

For the second straight game, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bills-news-von-miller-begins-josh-allen-mvp-campaign-with-epic-t-shirt-on-mnf">Josh Allen’s MVP buzz took a major hit</a>, as the Bills’ perennial MVP candidate was held to under 200 yards passing once again.</p><p>To make matters worse, this was only the insult added to literal injury.</p><p>After the game, Josh Allen was <a href="https://x.com/_jacosta/status/1843025084715507762" rel="noopener">asked about the litany of injuries</a> he sustained during the 23-20 loss to Houston, and particularly on <a href="https://x.com/FantasyInjuryT/status/1843014806544195609" rel="noopener">one play in the 4th quarter</a>.</p><p>Per Jonathan Acosta of WGRZ-TV in Buffalo:</p><p>“Big shot to the chest. Rolled my ankle. They flagged me for hitting my head, but felt good enough to go back in.”</p><p>Allen claimed the ankle roll came on the play before he was forced out of the game because of what at the time appeared to be a pretty serious head injury. But after a brief check-in on Buffalo’s sideline, Allen was allowed to re-enter and finish out what was arguably one of the worst performances of his career.</p><p>Josh Allen completed just 9-of-30 pass attempts and finished the game with only 131 passing yards. He chipped in 54 yards on the ground as well, but all afternoon long, the Bills struggled to get anything going through the air. The only big play in the passing game came thanks to rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman, who turned a 10-yard pass into a 49-yard touchdown after breaking one tackle and performing an impressive balancing act along the sideline.</p><p>The absence of leading receiver Khalil Shakir likely played a role in the subpar offensive performance, but after back-to-back losses to two of the AFC’s best teams, it feels like Buffalo may have bigger problems.</p><h2><b>Bills in need of bounce-back win following painful loss to Texans</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Josh-Allen-takes-a-hit-while-attempting-a-pass.jpg?w=1024"><figcaption>© Troy Taormina-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Bills are in desperate need of a get-right game in Week 6, but that win won’t necessarily be easy to come by. Buffalo travels to New Jersey to face Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets on Monday Night Football next week. The only consolation may be that Rodgers, who hasn’t looked like peak Aaron Rodgers all year, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-aaron-rodgers-concerning-ankle-injury-vikings-loss">apparently suffered an ankle sprain on Sunday morning</a> during <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-most-blame-week-5-loss-vikings">New York’s loss in London to the still-unbeaten Minnesota Vikings</a>.</p><p>After that, Josh Allen and the Bills get a little relief in the form of a home matchup with the Tennessee Titans. But heading into that October 20th game with Tennessee, the Bills won’t want to be staring down a 3-3 record, especially after such an impressive 3-0 start.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Entering Week 5, Collins had a huge lead over the rest of the field with 489 receiving yards, more than 100 yards better than the second-best in the league. He and Stroud have built a chemistry together that makes them nearly unstoppable every Sunday.</p><p>Despite the Texans’ offense struggling at times this season, they still raced out of the gates to a 3-1 start with a chance to make a big time statement on Sunday against the Bills, who also entered the game 3-1. They have excelled on both sides of the ball so far, as their defense has held Josh Allen and the explosive Buffalo offense to just three points in the first half and put together a pair of touchdown drives on the offensive end.</p><p>Stroud is on the same page as his receivers in this one and out together a masterful first half where he completed 12-of-15 passes for 187 yards and a touchdown. He’s doing that despite the running game struggling a bit with 43 yards on 14 carries.</p><p>If Stroud and the Texans can keep up this pace and hold onto their 17-3 halftime lead, they will improve to 4-1 and establish themselves as one of the top contenders in the AFC. With Stroud playing the way he is, it’s hard to see the Bills coming back in this one.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
