Buffalo Bills superstar quarterback Josh Allen seemingly took a shot at Houston Texans star wide receiver and his former teammate, Stefon Diggs, after leading his team to a blowout win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday night.
Josh Allen was near-perfect once again in the Bills’ 47-10 win on “Monday Night Football,” completing 23 pass attempts for 263 yards, four touchdowns, zero interceptions and a team-leading 44 rushing yards.
Through his first three games of 2023, Buffalo’s signal-caller now has a ridiculous 75.0 completion percentage for 634 yards, seven touchdowns, zero picks and two rushing touchdowns.
So much for Josh Allen and the Bills’ offense regressing after trading a disgruntled Diggs to the Texans in April, huh?
Speaking to reporters after the game, Allen took a subtle shot at Diggs by voicing his appreciation for the selflessness of Buffalo’s offensive weapons, via ESPN’s Alaina Getzenberg:
“When guys get to buy into this and really understand, like, ‘I may not get the ball four or five times thrown to me a game, but the one or two times I don’t, I’m going to have opportunities.’
And it’s a fun and wonderful thing when you got a bunch of guys that don’t care about the stats, they don’t care about the touchdowns. And again, I think throughout practice we just had this mindset of, like, ‘Hey let’s just do things the right way and find ways to win football games.’ That’s what we’re doing right now.”

It’s no secret that Diggs’ behavior and attitude became a problem for the Bills. He memorably berated his quarterback during the club’s 2022 Divisional Round loss to the Cincinnati Bengals and left the locker room early following the loss.

Diggs will get an opportunity to prove the Bills wrong when his old mates come to Houston for a showdown with the Texans in Week 5.
Josh Allen Is The Early MVP Front-Runner
If the season were to end today, Allen might have unanimously taken home league MVP honors. He is playing out of his mind right now, and the 28-year-old is doing it without a true superstar pass-catcher.
There’s plenty of season left. But right now, Allen has to be considered the player to beat in the 2024 MVP race.
VIDEO: Cameras Caught A Very Interesting Conversation Between Texans QB Stroud & WR Stefon Diggs On Sidelines During SNF vs. Bears

NFL Films caught an interesting sideline interaction between Houston Texans quarterback CJ Stroud and veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs during their Week 2 home win over the Chicago Bears on “Sunday Night Football.”
The Texans acquired Stefon Diggs in a blockbuster trade with the Buffalo Bills in April following rumors that he was becoming a problem in the locker room. The Texans took advantage of the opportunity and snagged the All-Pro receiver, giving CJ Stroud another weapon following an excellent rookie year.
Going by Diggs’ conversation with Stroud in Sunday’s 19-13 victory over the Bears, it certainly looks like the four-time Pro Bowler is more than happy with his new team.
“You throw such a friendly ball,” Diggs told Stroud. “You know, I ain’t believe for a long time. You’re so friendly that I’m like, ‘Ah!’”
Over his first two games with CJ Stroud and the Texans, Diggs has 10 receptions for 70 yards and two touchdowns. But of course, Diggs can’t expect to put up the same All-Pro numbers with Houston that he posted in Buffalo.

Diggs was the undisputed No. 1 guy for Josh Allen in Buffalo, but Stroud has four other big-time playmakers in wide receivers Nico Collins and Tank Dell, Pro Bowl running back Joe Mixon and tight end Dalton Schultz.
The Texans restructured Diggs’ contract following the trade, allowing him to hit free agency next spring if he doesn’t re-sign with Houston. For now, his focus is on helping the Texans get over the hump and win their first Super Bowl championship.
CJ Stroud and Houston will try and improve to 3-0 on the season when they take on the surprising 2-0 Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday.
CJ Stroud Is Playing Lights-Out So Far
The 22-year-old Stroud is off to a tremendous start in 2024, completing 69.1 percent of his pass attempts for 494 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. With Houston’s three AFC South foes all starting out 0-2, it already looks like the Texans will cruise to a second straight division crown.
Stroud turned heads a year ago with a rookie season for the ages that culminated with a division title and playoff win over the Cleveland Browns. It’s only two weeks into the new season, but his Texans already look like bonafide contenders heading into Week 3.
