The arrival of Stefon Diggs to the Bills in 2020 was a turning point in the offense. His ability to make a difference coincided with Josh Allen’s explosion as an elite quarterback. The sum of factors has resulted in an unstoppable duo.

Through the first two weeks of this season, Diggs and Allen have combined for four touchdowns, making them the most productive pairing in the NFL. Their chemistry on the field is evident, in a Buffalo offense that has started the season fully oiled.
In the first game against the Rams, with all the spotlight that the NFL kickoff entails, Diggs registered 122 yards and a touchdown. Not inconsiderable numbers for a first meeting. Already in week 2, he had 148 yards and no less than three touchdowns, a real abuse against the defense of the Titans.
The start of Diggs and Allen has been sensational, both with the best record of their careers. Diggs managed to top 2018, when he started the season with three touchdowns in two games. Allen, meanwhile, put the 2020 season behind him, when he started with six touchdown passes in the first two weeks. Although sometimes keeping up the pace is difficult, the projections for the moment are encouraging, with a clear upward trend.

Immediate impact on the team
After twice passing 1,000 yards with the Vikings and recording 30 touchdowns in five seasons, Diggs came to the Bills with the star tag. The receiver did not disappoint. In his first season, 2020, he led in yards and receptions, with 1,535 on 127 catches. In terms of touchdowns, he did not do badly either, with eight trips to the promised zone. Diggs’ presence made Allen better, with a season in which he threw for 4,544 yards, 37 touchdowns and 10 interceptions, a revelation after two years with some doubts.
The 2021 season, far from representing a regression, confirmed that the duo was up for big things. The emergence of players like Gabriel Davis and Dwason Knox did not detract from Diggs’ prominence, on the contrary, the receiver shone with 1,225 yards and 10 touchdowns, his best season so far in that last section. Allen also kept up with him, with 4,447 yards, 36 touchdowns and 15 turnovers.
His momentum has allowed the Bills to become a regular contender for the title. In 2020 the team reached the conference final, where they fell to the Chiefs, in 2021, Kansas City was the executioner again, only now in the divisional round. Will this be the decisive year? Diggs and Allen are more motivated than ever.
