Palmer caught a 34-yard touchdown pass from Josh Allen with 1:36 remaining in Week 1, providing the decisive score in a game featuring four fourth-quarter lead changes. This came on a drive where Buffalo trailed 31-30 with 96 yards to go, and Palmer's score gave the Bills a 36-31 victory. Joshua Palmer (Joshua Palmer) notes that Allen attacked the same part of the field where a potential interception had slipped through Texans cornerback Kamari Lassiter's hands on the previous play, showing confidence in Palmer as a target.

Palmer caught the game-winning 34-yard touchdown pass on the final play of Buffalo's 36-31 victory over Houston; the source notes Palmer was an unlikely hero, as the touchdown came on a play that was not repped in practice—Josh Allen stated 'This is not where the ball is supposed to go. We have never once repped the ball going there'—yet the Bills' protection adjustments and DJ Moore's chip block on Danielle Hunter created the opening for Palmer to get open deep.

Palmer was signed by Buffalo to be a man-beating vertical threat after four seasons with the Chargers; the Texans allowed 20-plus yard plays on 8.4% of opposing quarterback drop backs in 2025 (12th-lowest in football), creating a relative weakness in deep coverage. Palmer caught three of 22 receptions on 20-plus yard throws in his injury-riddled first Bills season, compared to eight of 39 deep targets in his final Chargers year. Though he played the Texans last season post-injury and never fully regained his vertical juice, a healthy Palmer could be vital for Buffalo in this matchup, especially on play-action deep shots, because chunk plays are key against Houston's defense.

Palmer was signed by the Bills as a man-beating vertical threat; the Texans allowed a 20-plus yard play on 8.4% of opposing quarterback drop backs in 2025 (12th-lowest in football), creating opportunity for chunk plays. In his injury-riddled first year in Buffalo, three of Palmer's 22 receptions came on throws 20-plus yards downfield, compared to eight of 39 deep targets in his final Chargers season. After suffering a serious lower-body injury in Week 6 against the Falcons, Palmer played the Texans a season ago but was not himself, catching two passes for 21 yards and never regaining his vertical juice post-injury. A healthy Palmer could be low-key vital for the Bills in this game, even if found downfield once or twice from Josh Allen, because chunk plays are especially key against the Texans.
