Josh Allen & the Bills get a Texas-sized monkey off their backs after getting a big win down in Houston to start the 2026 NFL season 1-0! Josh & Luka are back this week to breakdown everything they…

Are you more impressed with the Bills' offense or are you more disappointed in the Texans' defense? And that's just the kind of lazy analysis that gets on my nerves because if you consider the fact that the Bills' offense is considered elite and the Houston Texans' defense is considered elite, And it's a heavyweight fight.
And the last couple of times these teams have fought, the Texans have gotten the better of the Bills.
So probability wise, it made sense that the Bills, if they are this elite unit, would have their day.
And if they played 10 times, you probably have five days where the Bills offense looks really good in five days where the Texans defense looks really good.
But I'm not sitting here thinking, oh, man, the Texans defense is washed or regression has come back to the mean for this Texans defense.
But it does help when you have tackles that aren't playing injured like Deion Dawkins and Spencer Brown were last year.
And it does help when it's not a Thursday night game coming off of a Sunday night game, which the Bills have coming up in four days.
We both predicted the Bills offense would play better than most national expectations had them going.
When you look back on this game, say five years from now, you know how we referenced the 13 seconds game or the Lamar meltdown.
How will we describe this game? Is it as simple as the Texans opener? What is the moment in this game for you? The moment
within the game for me, honestly, it's a two-play sequence and it's late in the game, but seasons past, matchups past, however you want to say it, the Palmer almost interception target was like that one.
That's probably picked off in all of those previous matchups.
And to the bills also don't bounce back from a moment like that, because that's where you're, you know, Josh Allen is seeing red in all the wrong ways.
It's moving too fast for him, stuff like that.
The classic wires are crossing Josh Allen situation that it seems to happen more often than not in Houston.
But then the very next play, Allen hits an absolute money pass to Palmer.
