When you are clicking like that you can beat anybody, you can destroy any defense I don’t care what coverage they’re in or what type of looks they present. You can find ways to manipulate the defense and Stefon Diggs is just a game-changer. Josh Allen, the things he’s been able to do as far as mobility in the pocket, and outside of the pocket has made him what he is and that’s a premium player and a Pro Bowler in the National Football League… So, it’s all about how things align for this team. Definitely poised in a position to put themselves where they can compete in the AFC Championship Game and it all starts with Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs.”‘

To know that he’s not going to be able to play this game, it’s a frustrating year. That’s what 2020 brings. We’ve got to be ready for what Tua brings.”’
