Buffalo Bills recruit Barenaked Ladies to play O Canada at home opener
The NFL club is owned by Terry and Kim Pegula, proprietors of the NHL's Buffalo Sabres, a club that's played the Canadian anthem at every home game since 1970
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and the team are gearing up for their season opener against Houston Texans this Sunday at Reliant Stadium. Allen, who has been struggling against Houston in recent years, is seeking to end his 0-4 skid in the city. Houston's defense sacked Allen a career-high eight times last November, leading to a 23-19 victory.
This season, Allen faces a new challenge as Buffalo promotes Joe Brady from offensive coordinator to head coach, marking his debut as the new head coach. Both teams are considered top contenders in the AFC for the upcoming season. Allen has struggled mightily against Houston in the past, going 0-4 in games at Houston, including a wild-card playoff loss in 2020.
Despite this history, both teams are focusing on the present and not dwelling on the past. Houston coach DeMeco Ryans emphasizes that past success does not guarantee future success.
