Josh Allen was tormented with relentless pressure, making it difficult for the Bills to get into any rhythm offensively. As a matter of fact, Allen was sacked a total of 8 times, with the pair of Hunter and Anderson Jr. leading the team with 2 sacks each.<\/p><p>The Texans&rsquo; secondary also put in a strong performance, coming up with two interceptions and a fumble recovery as Houston won the turnover battle 3-0. The last interception came with the game winding down, but with Buffalo in excellent position to score a game-winning touchdown.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">FINAL: The <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HoustonTexans?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@HoustonTexans<\/a> defense puts up EIGHT sacks to help secure the win on TNF! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5IDLJhx4MU\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/5IDLJhx4MU<\/a><\/p>&mdash; NFL (@NFL) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NFL\/status\/1991725801059053916?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>November 21, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Josh Allen&rsquo;s Threat Completely Nullified<\/h2><p>Josh Allen had a career game last week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

After starting my professional career as a French-to-English translator, working as a content writer is a new adventure for me. I started out in the sports media field for two main reasons: my love for sports in general, especially the NFL, NBA, and Tennis, as well as my passion for writing. The best part of this job is that I get to write a variety of pieces with the freedom to explore content from various angles. It also enables me to stay up to date with the sporting world, which otherwise can be difficult to do in the day-to-day grind.
