Why Josh Allen had quiet first half for Bills in Week 12 game against Texans image

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is not having a good night in the Week 12 game against the Houston Texans.

Allen finished the first half with just 88 passing yards and one interception, and he isn't even producing on the ground with just four yards on three carries.

That leaves Allen with less than three fantasy points over two quarters.

A big reason for Allen's struggles is the Texans have one of the better defenses in the NFL. Houston's pass-rush is fierce and the team's secondary has a lot of talent, also, which makes connecting with his receivers difficult.

Making matters worse in the passing game, Allen doesn't have one of his best pass-catchers in Dalton Kincaid, who is out with a hamstring injury.

The Texans are also doing a great job of making sure Allen doesn't leak out of the pocket to pick up yards on the ground.

It was never going to be easy for Allen and Co. And we're seeing that first hand on Thursday night.

That said, Allen is fully capable of turning things around quickly in the second half against Houston. We'll see if he's able to do that on Thursday night.
