Houston 10 Buffalo 6

In a game played in windy, chilly, driving rain, neither team could mount much offense. Steve McNair threw a 24 yard strike to Sanders for the games only TD. I sure am glad I didn't shell out NFL bucks to sit in these miserable conditions watching the home team sputter. Season mercifully ends for both teams, Super Bowl for both next year for sure.
