Stefon Diggs shines in his first game against the Bills, helping the Texans secure a last-minute victory.
The Buffalo Bills suffered their second straight loss in a thrilling Week 5 matchup, falling 23-20 to the Houston Texans in a game that was particularly emotional for former Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs. This was the first time Diggs faced his old team since joining the Texans in the offseason, and he made his presence felt, although he did not score.
The Bills’ offense stumbled out of the gate, trailing 17-3 at halftime. Despite quarterback Josh Allen’s efforts, which included a deep touchdown to rookie Keon Coleman in the second half, the Texans’ defense held strong. Houston’s kicker ultimately sealed the game with a 59-yard field goal as time expired, dealing Buffalo another tough loss.
