Stefon Diggs made the Josh Allen comparison fans won't yet admit

In his first game back in Buffalo as an opponent, Patriots’ wide receiver Stefon Diggs got his revenge in helping the Patriots hand the Bills their first loss of the season. New England shocked the Bills by getting the 23-20 victory and Diggs played a big role in helping the Pats pull the upset.

He and his new quarterback Drake Maye connected for 10 catches for 146 yards. Maye targeted him 12 times as well, making the statement that Diggs was going to be the go-to guy.

While Diggs was very productive, he couldn’t have done it without Maye looking like the better quarterback in this game. Maye made some great throws, with a good amount of them going to Diggs and he had a little bit of Josh Allen-like plays in his game. Quite frankly, he looked better than Allen throughout the game.

In just his second season, Maye has become a franchise quarterback and is showing that he can help bring the Patriots back to relevance, something that they haven’t experienced since Tom Brady left in 2020. 

Stefon Diggs makes the comparison that Bills won't want to admit just yet

After the Sunday night game, Diggs spoke with the media and talked about how Maye has been compared to Allen in his game, specifically that “It’s a hell of a comparison to be compared to Josh Allen. But as you come into your own, Drake Maye has to be Drake Maye. I was just so proud of him, coming in here and leading a team" - Stefon Diggs per Patriots on CLNS of CLNS Media Boston Sports Network.

Maye has the athleticism and the arm strength to be considered the next coming of Josh Allen, but Allen is an MVP who has solidified himself as the best quarterback in the league. Maye has a long way to go, but this signature win for him is not only a massive confidence booster, but it could be the beginning of something special for him, which should scare Bills fans.
