The Bills were coming off a win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers , 44-32, to improve to 7-3, while the Texans were looking to nail their third consecutive victory and climb to 6-5.
Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen committed an early error as his pass was intercepted by Houston safety Calen Bullock , who ran for 44 yards for the touchdown.
It looked like a disastrous play for Allen, but fortunately for him, the referees nullified the touchdown due to a penalty over Texans defensive end Derek Barnett's blindside block, putting a whimper on the crowd's celebration.
The 29-year-old Allen has been largely careful with his throws , logging only seven interceptions entering the game versus the Texans and a 69.6% completion rate.

It's not every day you get to pick the reigning MVP's pass and go all the way for a touchdown, but sadly for the 22-year-old Bullock, his score was cancelled. Still, it was a good stop by the second-year defender.
As of writing, the Texans are leading the Bills at halftime, 20-16. Allen has thrown 11-of-15 for 88 yards. He also has three carries for four yards.
He could make league history if he rushes for a touchdown to increase his career total to 76, surpassing Cam Newton for most ever by a quarterback.
The Texans are playing without CJ Stroud , who's out due to a concussion.
