ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) - Buffalo Bills linebacker Nick Barnett doesn't need a crystal ball to guess what the Houston Texans will have in store for them this weekend.

The Bills' near season-long struggle to stop the run means they'll be facing a heavy dose of Houston's Arian Foster-led ground attack.

Knowing what's coming and stopping it, though, are two different things. Yet, Barnett remains confident the Bills (3-4) will be up to the test coming off their bye week and traveling to play at Houston (6-1) on Sunday.

The Bills have allowed an NFL-worst 1,238 yards rushing so far this season.

The AFC-leading Texans are also coming off their break, and feature Foster, who ranks fifth in the NFL with 659 yards rushing and leads the league with 10 touchdowns.
