Wide Receivers/Tight Ends

Dawson Knox led the way with five receptions, 89 receiving yards, and two touchdowns including an incredible touchdown catch on the opening drive. Stefon Diggs was second on the team with three receptions for 60 yards, including a 45-yard reception.

While Diggs didn’t catch a touchdown, Emmanuel Sanders and Gabriel Davis did find the end zone on long passes. Josh Allen can’t have the performance he did without getting help from his receivers and tight ends, and this group was nearly perfect as well.

Grade: A+

Offensive Line

As will be the theme for the offense this week, the offensive line had an excellent game. This is something that started earlier in the regular season since Ryan Bates has been moved into the starting lineup.

This was the third straight game that Josh Allen was not sacked and the Bills offense had 174 rushing yards and an average of six yards per carry. The offensive line deserves a lot of credit for helping this group have the historic night that they did.

Grade: A+
