Texans surge back into contention. Key injuries return as they face a faltering Colts team for divisional supremacy.

The NFL’s schedule is almost like a living, breathing organism, where not only are we looking at our favorite team’s schedule intently all the time, but we are peeking at the schedule of every team the Texans are chasing, and those chasing the Texans.

NFL referee Adrian Hill was forced to leave Thursday night's game between the Houston Texans and Buffalo Bills have suffering a non-contact injury.

The loss dropped quarterback Josh Allen and the Bills to 7–4, two games behind the Patriots for first place in the AFC East. Buffalo fell from the No. 5 seed in the AFC to the No. 6 seed behind the Chargers (7–4). If the playoffs started Friday, the Bills would travel to Indianapolis for a wild-card round matchup against the Colts.

Tonight on Thursday Night Football, the Buffalo Bills face the Houston Texans. Here's how to watch all the action on the field.

Houston’s dominant defense sacked Josh Allen eight times and Calen Bullock forced three turnovers, with his second interception sealing the Texans’ 23-19 win over the Buffalo Bills.

The Patriots own the NFL's best record, its longest active winning streak (nine) and its third-easiest remaining schedule. That's a good combination. The Bills have lost two of three and haven't looked particularly inspiring over that stretch, but dismissing Josh Allen would be foolhardy.
