Stefon Diggs’ Endorsement
Despite their reported strained relationship towards the end of Diggs’ tenure with the Bills, Diggs has nothing but praise for Allen’s performance this season. Speaking on Good Morning Football, Diggs emphasized Allen’s consistent excellence, saying, “He’s been balling. Obviously, it’s no secret that Josh Allen is amazing as far as seeing him game in and game out. He’s making those plays. It’s not new to me at all.”
Josh Allen’s Stellar Season
Josh Allen has indeed had a remarkable season, leading the Bills to an impressive record and solidifying his position as a frontrunner for the NFL MVP award. Allen has thrown for over 3,000 yards, 23 touchdowns, and only 5 interceptions, showcasing his precision and leadership on the field. His performance against the Detroit Lions, where he threw for 362 yards and two touchdowns while also rushing for 68 yards and two touchdowns, further cemented his MVP credentials.
Impact of Diggs’ Comments
Diggs’ endorsement comes at a crucial time as Allen competes with other top candidates like Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley. Diggs’ support not only highlights Allen’s exceptional play but also adds a layer of validation from a former teammate who knows his capabilities well.
