Wide Receivers/Tight Ends

It was a record-setting day for Stefon Diggs as he had nine receptions, 81 yards, and a touchdown. He moved ahead of Wes Welker for most receptions by a player in his first two years with the team.

However, the Bills didn’t really get much else from the wide receiver or tight end position with no player having more than five receptions or 50 receiving yards outside of Diggs.

Grade: C-

Offensive Line

It took almost all season but the Buffalo Bills have found their best starting offensive line with the addition of Ryan Bates. This group has played excellent football over the past three weeks since Bates has been named the starter and Josh Allen has not been sacked once in that stretch.

The run blocking has also improved as Devin Singletary and Josh Allen have found more room to run. In the game against the Jets, the Bills ran for 170 yards and averaged 5.2 yards per carry.

Grade: A
