Misery Index · Euphoric
Bills fans exhaling after stealing one in Houston, toasting D.Walker's debut and a Joe Brady offense that hung 36.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse. ● biggest swings
What happened
J.Allen to J.Palmer for 34 on a Q4 dagger, then G.Rousseau strip-sacking C.Stroud with 16 seconds left to seal it — the kind of finish that lets a fanbase exhale for the first time all offseason. D.Walker announced himself, T.Bass was perfect, and the room feels vindicated. The lingering note: the defense let C.Stroud march into field goal range in the final minute before Rousseau bailed everyone out. That won't always happen.

“I know it's only week 1, but this is still a huge win! One of the most difficult games on the schedule that most wrote off as a loss, and the Bills come home with a win.”
