This article was originally published on www.si.com as How NFL Playoff Picture Looks After Texans Stifle Josh Allen, Bills on ‘TNF’. The Texans made a statement Thursday night.

Latest updates after Josh Allen suffered an injury in the Bills "Thursday Night Football" game vs Texans in Week 12 but later returned to action.

Texans (+5.5) over Bills. Buffalo's defense is reeling at the moment, allowing 30 or more points in back-to-back games. The Bills' run defense has been abysmal, surrendering 5.4 yards per carry (second most in the NFL). That could result in a strong day for the Texans on the ground, which could help tip the scales in favor of an upset.

Josh Allen was sacked eight times and threw two interceptions and the Bills turned the ball over three times to lose to the Texans. It's the most time Allen has been sacked in a game in his career.
