Transcript

00:00What happened last night in the NFL?

00:02Well, the Buffalo Bills went down to Texas and came away with a loss,

00:05making it 7-4 on the season.

00:06But we thought the Bills had everything worked out, Joe.

00:09Nice win by Tampa Bay at home, put up in the mid-40s.

00:12Yeah, we'll go down to Texas.

00:13They really can't score.

00:14We'll handle our business.

00:15The last two times we now saw the Buffalo Bills on the road,

00:17a loss to Miami and now a loss to the Houston Texans.

00:2123-19 was the final score last night.

00:23Buffalo looked good to start.

00:25James Cook was running.

00:25If you have told me, Joe, before this game, James Cook's going to have 17 carries

00:30for a buck, 16, and a touchdown, sign me up on the Buffalo Bills winning easy.

00:34And the public, before the game started, Joe, thought this game would be easy.

00:38Seven out of every 10 tickets at least going in on the Buffalo Bills yesterday.

00:41People couldn't get enough of the Bills.

00:43They don't get the cover.

00:44They don't even win.

00:46Good performance by the Houston Texans defense.

00:48Eight sacks on Josh Allen last night, Joe.

00:51Yeah, and that's exactly the kind of game and effort that they needed here.

00:57And, you know, we saw that total get pushed up, too, as the public never bets unders, Donnie.

01:03They always bet overs, and they pushed that line up to 44-and-a-half last night.

01:08And they probably thought they were sitting real pretty after that first half.

01:12But the reality is that Texas defense is no joke here.

01:17Josh Allen was in trouble from the get-go.

01:20And, you know, kudos to Cook for getting over 100 yards, but that was about it.

01:25Nothing else was working for Buffalo at all.

01:29Turnovers, again, the bugaboo for Josh Allen here.

01:32His interception prop is becoming extremely profitable, Donnie, here over the last, you know,

01:39month of the season.

01:40So the Texans find themselves with a backup quarterback, but the number one defense,

01:45and that is good enough to beat one of the top offenses that just scored, what, six touchdowns

01:51the game prior against Tampa?

01:53Now they go indoors.

01:55And, yeah, Josh Allen doesn't get one touchdown.

01:58So, yeah, defense is ruining the day here right now for a lot of teams in the NFL.
