David Montgomery gives the Texans a 7-3 lead against the Bills
Summary

David Montgomery scored on a 1-yard touchdown run to give the Houston Texans a 7-3 lead over the Buffalo Bills. The scoring play followed a 25-yard completion from C.J. Stroud to Nico Collins that moved the Texans into the red zone. Earlier in the first half, the Bills took an early lead after Greg Rousseau recorded a strip-sack on Stroud, resulting in a fumble recovery by Ed Oliver at the Houston 32-yard line. Despite the field position, Buffalo settled for a field goal after a penalty for having 12 players in the huddle on a fourth-and-1 attempt. The Texans previously halted the Bills on a fourth-and-1 stop at the Houston 34-yard line on Buffalo's opening drive. The game remains in progress as both teams work to improve their red zone performance following last season's rankings.
