Josh Allen Looks to Exorcise Road Woes in Week 1 Opener at Houston

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen opens the 2026 NFL regular season on the road against the Houston Texans, a venue where he is 0-4 in his career. Sacked eight times in last year's matchup in Houston, Allen benefits from an offensive line with healthy starting tackles Dion Dawkins and Spencer Brown. Under new offensive coordinator Joe Brady, Buffalo looks to leverage a quick passing game and better positioning to overcome Houston's stingy defense and secure a key Week 1 win.
