Thursday night’s NFL game between the Houston Texans and Buffalo Bills was a rough and tumble affair, featuring injuries aplenty – including to one of the officials.

The Houston Texans notched a much-needed victory over the Buffalo Bills on Thursday Night Football thanks to a stifling defense that sacked Josh Allen more than he's ever been sacked before.

After the game, Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins took accountability for the false start that led to their team's loss.
