"We had a chance to win it there at the end, Allen said. We did a good job of staying in it and our defense bailed us out a couple of times. We've got to find a way, and we didn't. It was tough for Allen to get anything going on a night he was sacked a career-high eight times and hit four other times. Allen threw for 253 yards with two interceptions and no touchdowns."
"When they hit our quarterback 12 times, I don't like that, Bills coach Sean McDermott said. I don't like that stat at all. It's just not a healthy way to play and it's not a good way to keep our quarterback healthy for the rest of the season. We've got to play better. Allen was slow to get up after a sack in the first half. He said he was OK and that his left shoulder went a little numb after he landed on it."
"It's not fun, he said. I ran into a couple myself. I've got to be better at throwing the ball away. Too many times, I was going backwards. Allen lost 70 yards on the eight sacks. Will Anderson Jr. had two and a half sacks to lead the Texans. His second one came when he almost took Allen down near the line of scrimmage, but he wriggled away."
Josh Allen struggled as the Bills fell 23-19 to the Houston Texans, with a final-minute interception sealing the loss. Consecutive sacks on the final possession created a fourth-and-27; a short pass to Josh Palmer and a lateral to Khalil Shakir gained 44 yards before a false-start penalty produced fourth-and-6 and Calen Bullock's interception at the Houston 9 with 24 seconds remaining. Allen was sacked a career-high eight times, hit four other times, lost 70 yards on sacks, and finished with 253 passing yards and two interceptions. Will Anderson Jr. had two and a half sacks.
