Williams wasn’t impactful and Houston moved the ball on the ground and in the air and there was nothing Williams could do about it.   FINAL SCORE: Texans 21 Bills 9   TEXANS REGULAR SEASON RECORD: 7-1 TEXANS DIVISIONAL RECORD: 2-0 TEXANS AFC CONFERENCE RECORD: 7-0 TEXANS VS NFC CONFERENCE RECORD:  0-1   GAME SUMMARY Texans Total Yards: 374 Bills Total Yards: 308   Texans Passing Yards: 256 Bills Passing Yards: 230   Texans Rushing Yards: 118 Bills Rushing Yards: 78   Texans TOP: 34:03 Bills TOP: 25:57   GAME HIGHLIGHTS   THE GOOD Andre Johnson looked as close to the ole’ Andre as he did in week one.
