The Houston Texans could benefit from securing a win at home over the Buffalo Bills.
Stefon Diggs could split the series at 1-1 in matchups against his former teams in 2024.
It’s a new era of Texans football. Quarterback C.J. Stroud played hero ball last week in a 24-20 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars at home. If not for a Dare Ogunbowale touchdown reception with 18 seconds left, Houston would be sitting at 2-2 to enter October.
