ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Once the Houston Texans addressed their turnover troubles and turned to backup running back Ryan Moats, they solved the offensively inept Buffalo Bills and ran away with a 31-10 win on Sunday.

Moats, taking over after starter Steve Slaton lost yet another fumble, scored three touchdowns on consecutive fourth-quarter drives to help the Texans (5-3) win their third straight game for their best start in franchise history. Matt Schaub bounced back from two first-half interceptions to lead six scoring drives on seven possessions.
The Bills (3-5) were undone by an offense that managed 204 yards and nine first downs, with only three coming in the second half.

Buffalo squandered another opportunistic performance by its defense, which forced three turnovers, including two interceptions by rookie safety Jairus Byrd. The second-round pick out of Oregon became the first player since San Francisco's Dave Baker in 1960 to have two or more interceptions in three straight games.

The Bills' inability to muster any threat -- both scoring drives came on short fields -- eventually wore down the defense. Terrell Owens scored on a 29-yard run set up by Byrd's first interception. Rian Lindell hit a 21-yard field goal set up by Fred Jackson's 71-yard kickoff return late in the second quarter.

It didn't help that Buffalo got little pressure on Schaub after defensive end Aaron Schobel left with a groin injury.

Down 7-3 early in the second quarter, the Texans gained momentum once they stopped turning over the ball over after three giveaways on their first four possessions.
