Bills go up Sammy Watkins TD grab (Video)

Buffalo receiver Sammy Watkins catches another touchdown.

The Buffalo Bills kicked off to the Houston Texans to start their home game against the red-hot Houston team, but they were able to force a quick punt. After receiving the ball, they marched right down the field and scored the first touchdown of the game on a fade pass to second-year receiver Sammy Watkins.

The reception came on a third and goal from three yards out, which capped off a seven-play drive which covered 53 yards for the 5-6 Buffalo Bills. The big play on the drive was a 30-yard run by running back Mike Gillislee, who isn’t their biggest playmaker in the backfield, but showed up large on the first drive for Buffalo.

Houston is riding a four-game winning streak and is locked in a tie with the Indianapolis Colts at 6-5 for the AFC South title. Buffalo is reeling from a two-game losing streak, but Watkins going up in the air and catching a pass despite good coverage from rookie first-round cornerback Kevin Johnson is a great way to go and try to end the skid.

Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor now has 15 touchdown passes to just four interceptions. For Watkins, it was his sixth touchdown grab on the season. He has started to turn things around after spending much of the earlier part of the season hurt and demanding for more passes to come his way.

Now it will be up to his former college teammate, DeAndre Hopkins, to try and help his team match the Bills quick start.
