    1. They have allowed the 4th most passing touchdowns.
    2. In fact, four of the five QBs facing Buffalo so far have thrown for at least 269 yards.

    1. He handled every RB touch for the Texans.
    2. So far this season, Woody Marks has been better than Montgomery in almost every rushing metric.
