Buffalo Bills prepare to face Houston Texans in NFL Week 1

The Buffalo Bills open the 2026 NFL regular season on the road against the Houston Texans at Reliant Stadium. Buffalo aims to improve its offensive line performance after allowing eight sacks against the Texans last season, including 2.5 sacks by Will Anderson and two by Danielle Hunter. Protecting Josh Allen remains a priority for tackles Dion Dawkins and Spencer Brown. On the defensive side, coordinator Jim Leonhard intends to deploy schemes not seen during the preseason to surprise the Texans offense. The matchup also marks the regular-season debut for Brady in his role as a head coach. The team enters the contest with expectations of a successful campaign following an active offseason period. The game serves as the initial test for the Bills as they pursue their championship objectives for the current season.
