Bills vs. Texans live updates: NFL scores, game stats, news, highlights, where to watch key AFC game

Kickoff is underway between the Houston Texans and Buffalo Bills, as two Super Bowl contenders in the AFC face off in a clash of division leaders. Stefon Diggs will also be facing his former team for the first time since his trade from Buffalo to Houston this past offseason. 

Diggs and Bills quarterback Josh Allen were one of the most dangerous duos in the NFL, as the pair totaled 445 receptions, 5,372 yards, and 37 touchdowns in their four seasons together. That either led the NFL or was tied for first in the league, showcasing how dominant Allen and Diggs were in the same offense. 

Internal problems in the organization led Diggs to Houston, where he’s the veteran wideout amongst one of the young, talented offenses in the league. Diggs is averaging 9.3 yards per catch this season (a career-low) and has 17 consecutive games without 100 yards receiving (a career-high). 

Allen, on the other hand, has thrived without his top reciever. The Bills are second in the NFL in scoring offense this season at 30.5 points per game, while Allen continues to produce with 10 touchdowns through the first four games. Allen is responsible for 230 touchdowns in his first seven seasons, which is the second most since 1970, trailing only Patrick Mahomes (231). 

The Texans still are playing  at a high level despite Diggs’ struggles, as Nico Collins is averaging 109.0 receiving yards per game since Week 12 of last year — the most in the NFL. C.J. Stroud is 9-2 in home games and has averaged 305.9 pass yards per game, throwing 23 touchdowns to just four interceptions.
