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

Kickoff between the Houston Texans and Buffalo Bills is underway as two of the AFC's Super Bowl contenders face off in a duel of division leaders. Stefon Diggs will also face his former team for the first time since moving from Buffalo to Houston last 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 tied for first in the league, showing how dominant Allen and Diggs were in the same offense.

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

Allen, on the other hand, is thriving without his top receiver. The Bills are second in the NFL in scoring offense this season with 30.5 points per game, while Allen continued to score 10 touchdowns through the first four games. Allen has accounted for 230 touchdowns in his first seven seasons, which is the second-most since 1970, behind only Patrick Mahomes (231).

The Texans are still playing at a high level despite Diggs' struggles, as Nico Collins is averaging 109.0 receiving yards per game since Week 12 last year – the most in the NFL. CJ Stroud has a 9-2 home record and averaged 305.9 passing yards per game, throwing 23 touchdowns with just four interceptions.
