TEXANS ...31 BILLS ...10

Running back Ryan Moats, taking over after starter Steve Slaton lost yet another fumble, scored three touchdowns on consecutive fourth-quarter drives, giving Houston a victory over Buffalo. The Texans won their third straight game for their best start in franchise history. Matt Schaub bounced back from two first-half interceptions to lead six scoring drives on seven possessions. The Bills were undone by an offense that managed 204 yards and nine first downs, with only three coming in the second half. Buffalo squandered another opportunistic performance by its defense, which forced three turnovers.
