Josh Allen sacked eight times as late interception dooms Bills in loss to Texans

• Allen sacked eight times in bruising Houston loss

• Rookie Calen Bullock seals win with late interception

• Shakir, Cook star but title-tipped Bills fall to 7-4

Little went right for Josh Allen in a frustrating game Thursday night against the Houston Texans. And still he came close to willing the Buffalo Bills to a victory before an interception in the final minute sealed their fate in a 23-19 loss.

Allen took consecutive sacks on the Bills' final possession, leading to a fourth-and-27, but Buffalo (7-4) 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-6 for Buffalo (7-4), Calen Bullock picked off Allen's pass at the Houston 9 with 24 seconds left.
