The Bills wasted no time in making sure Stefon Diggs set the franchise record for receptions in a season.
On the first offensive play, Josh Allen found Diggs for a 7-yard gain to give him 101 catches for the season.
Diggs and Eric Moulds had been tied; Moulds had 100 catches in the 2002 season.
“All I know is he’s a hall of fame guy," Diggs said this week of Moulds. "I’ve never been big on breaking people’s records and that stuff kind of happens organically but he’s definitely a guy that’s respected around these parts ... He’s got my utmost respect and that’s a guy you kind of want to always give the love and respect to because they played before you, they know this game, they love this game just as much as you love this game.”
Diggs, in his first year with the Bills, also could break the franchise record for receiving yards in a season. He entered the game with 1,167 yards. Moulds holds the mark with 1,368 yards.
