NRG Stadium has been a site of heartbreak for the Buffalo Bills, particularly with kicker Ka’imi Fairbairn's impact. In a rematch reminiscent of their 2020 AFC Wild Card game, Fairbairn kicked a 59-yard field goal as time expired, sealing a 23-20 victory for the Houston Texans.

This win improved the Texans to 4-1 and marked Fairbairn's record-setting day, surpassing Kris Brown to become the franchise's all-time leading scorer with 773 points. Fairbairn credited his success to preparation and teamwork.
