A perfect 100
When the Bills needed a play, the ball found the hands of WR Stefon Diggs more often than not.
Diggs recorded a franchise record fourth-straight 100+ yard receiving game, catching 10 passes for exactly 100 yards.
Of his 36 career 100+ yard games in the regular season, it’s the first time the star wideout has finished with exactly 100 yards.
Allen looked at Diggs’ way repeatedly Sunday night, targeting him 16 times total. According to Next Gen Stats, Diggs was targeted on 53.3% of his routes, the highest target rate in a game this season (min. 20 routes).
“He does a good job of getting open and making plays with the ball in his hands,” Allen said. “When you have a receiver as talented as him and he’s your first read in a lot of concepts — and he’s open — you can’t really pass him up.”
Through six games, Diggs has gone over the century mark in five of them. He had seven 100+ yard receiving games all of last season.
While Diggs was the biggest beneficiary on offense, Allen believes the offense is at its best when he can spread the ball around. The flow of the game and the matchups prevented Allen from doing that on Sunday.
“I do think that we’re a better team when we are able to spread the ball around and get everybody involved,” he said. “It’s kind of dictated throughout each week with the flow of the game based on how they’re playing us and sometimes it’s gonna be like that.”
