Quarterback: Drew Bledsoe was 19 of 33 for 253 yards and had two touchdowns. Bledsoe was again off to a slow start in the 1st quarter as he was only 4 of 12 for 31 yards. He did much better in the 2nd quarter and was 4 of 5 for 66 yards. He also led the Bills down the field to grab another 7 points with a Travis Henry touchdown. Drew really took the Bills into the game in the 2nd half with 11 passes completed out of 15 for a total of 157 yards. It took some time for Bledsoe and the offense to wake up, but once they did they played perfectly. You have to give Drew some credit for bringing the Bills back from a 17-3 game to a 31-24 win. Grade: A
Running Backs: Travis Henry had a career day and ran the ball all over the Houston defense. He ran for 159 yards on 28 carries for an average of 5.7 yards per carry. Henry also scored two touchdowns and caught 2 passes for 11 yards. He proved to many people that he is one of the top runningbacks in the NFL…until he decided to fumble the ball. Even then, Kevin Gilbride still kept him out there and gave Travis Henry some well-deserved confidence. Larry Centers also ran pretty well. He had 2 carries for 16 yards and also caught 1 for 14 yards. Grade: A+
Wide Receivers: Peerless Price continues to shock people with another 100 yard game and prove to Tom Donahoe that he needs to be re-signed, no matter what. He caught 8 passes for 121 yards and the game-winning touchdown. Eric Moulds was shut down in the first half, but Drew managed to find him in the first drive of the 2nd half and also found him in the end zone for a touchdown. Josh Reed made an amazing catch in the end zone at the end of the 2nd quarter, but it was ruled incomplete. There was not enough indisputable evidence to overturn the call, but it was a touchdown and a great catch by Reed. He also caught a nice 28-yard pass in the middle of the field with triple coverage. This guy is really going to be something special. Grade: A
