Summary
The Houston Texans’ elite defense imploded in a shocking 36-31 loss to the Bills, surrendering big plays and failing to capitalize on key moments—especially when Josh Allen threw a game-sealing TD with under two minutes left. Star DE Will Anderson admitted it wasn’t their standard, while safety Kamari Lassiter took blame for his own mistakes. Despite C.J. Stroud’s strong passing and David Montgomery’s explosive debut, Coach DeMeco Ryans was furious the defense squandered their chances, giving up over 400 yards and their most points in months. Last year’s top-ranked unit struggled to generate pressure (only 2 sacks vs. 8 last season) and missed critical turnovers. Anderson vowed to regroup, calling this just the first game—and the team is determined not to repeat last year’s sluggish start.
