ASHLEY LANDIS Associated Press QUARTERBACK Josh Allen is tackled by the Texans' Henry To'oTo'o, one of eight sacks by Houston.

Allen took consecutive sacks on the Bills’ final possession, leading to a fourth and 27, but Buffalo gained 44 yards on a short pass from Allen to Josh Palmer, who tossed a lateral to Khalil Shakir.

After a false-start penalty created a fourth and six for Buffalo (7-4), Bullock picked off Allen at the Houston nine with 24 seconds left.

Davis Mills threw for 153 yards with two first-half touchdown passes to help the Texans (6-5) to their third straight victory with C.J. Stroud sidelined by a concussion.
