Why the Bills can cover
Quarterback Josh Allen is one of the most dynamic and electric signal-callers in the game. Allen can make any throw on the field with ease while owning the athleticism to be an effective runner. The two-time Pro Bowler completed 63% of his passes for 4,283 passing yards with 35 passing touchdowns in 2022. He also ran for 762 yards and seven touchdowns. Allen threw for 300-plus yards in six games last year.
Receiver Stefon Diggs is the clear No. 1 target for Allen. Diggs is a strong route runner and has a knack for creating separation from defenders. The three-time Pro Bowler finished the 2022 season with 108 receptions for 1,429 yards and 11 touchdowns. Diggs has recorded 1,000-plus receiving yards in five straight seasons. In two games against the Jets last year, he had eight grabs for 103 yards. See which team to pick here.
