The Bills entered this season as the Super Bowl favorites, and they certainly lived up to the regular season expectations. But for the second straight year, Buffalo was eliminated in the AFC Divisional Round, and now they’ll have to watch the Cincinnati Bengals and Kansas City Chiefs vie for the conference crown instead.

Diggs had another excellent season for the Bills, recording 108 receptions for 1,429 yards and 11 touchdowns, earning a third straight Pro Bowl nod.
