Stefon Diggs added the Bills' mark for receiving yards in a season on his 50-yard touchdown reception from Josh Allen in the second quarter.
With the catch, Diggs had three receptions for 69 yards against New England on Monday night and 1,383 yards on the season.
That broke the team record of 1,368 yards set by Eric Moulds in 1998. He finished the game with nine catches for 145 yards and now has 1,459 yards.
Diggs had previously broken Moulds' record of 100 receptions in a season.
It marked the second time in Diggs' career that he had a 50-plus yard reception in consecutive games. He also did it last season with the Vikings.
He becomes the first Bill with 50-plus yard receptions in consecutive games since Terrell Owens in 2009. In games 10 and 11 that season, Owens had a 98-yard touchdown vs. Jacksonville on Nov. 22 and a 51-yard touchdown catch against Miami on Nov. 29.

He was just getting started, though, adding two more touchdown catches in the second half, giving him the second three-TD game of his career; the other was last season against the Eagles when he was with the Vikings. He is the first Bill with three receiving touchdowns in a game since Nov. 21, 2010 against Cincinnati.
Diggs has 6,082 career receiving yards and became the 35th player to eclipse that mark within the first six years of their career.
Diggs also tops 100 yds. for 22nd time in #NFL career, 7th this season & 3rd in row; 7 in season ties #Bills single-year record (A.Reed-1989 & E.Moulds-2000); 3 straight 100s ties BUF record, set by E.Dubenion (gms 5-7, 1964), A.Reed (gms 2-4, 1989) & E.Moulds (gms 6-8, 2000)
