Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen finds himself back in the spotlight-but not for his on-field heroics. His recent comments have left fans and analysts buzzing about his relationship with former star receiver Stefon Diggs, reigniting rumors of tension between the two.

The whispers surrounding Allen and Diggs have been hard to ignore, especially since Diggs was traded to the Texans during the offseason. Despite their on-field success in Buffalo, many have speculated that there was more brewing behind the scenes, and Allen’s latest remarks have only added fuel to the fire.

Following the Bills’ dominant 47-10 victory over the winless Jacksonville Jaguars, Allen made a seemingly innocent remark that has sparked heated debate. “It’s amazing when you’ve got guys who are just about the team, not the stats,” Allen said during his postgame press conference. Though the comment didn’t name names, some interpreted it as a thinly veiled shot at Diggs, a player known for his high standards and intense passion for the game.

It didn’t take long for the media to seize on this potential jab. TV host Stephen A. Smith was quick to offer his take, telling his audience, “Stefon Diggs, I hope you’re listening. You know what Allen meant.” The pointed comment only served to deepen speculation about bad blood between the former teammates.

Josh Allen clarified his comments to media

By midweek, Allen felt compelled to set the record straight. Speaking to reporters, he clarified his stance, saying, “People are trying to make this something it’s not. I’m not here to take shots at anyone, least of all Stefon.” He emphasized that he harbored no ill will toward Diggs, stating, “I still have love for 14, that hasn’t changed.”

But the timing of the comments, combined with the sudden departure of not just Diggs but fellow wide receiver Gabe Davis as well, has left Bills fans uneasy. Many wondered if Allen was feeling the effects of losing two key targets and whether his remarks hinted at deeper frustration.

For four seasons, Allen and Diggs formed one of the most electrifying duos in the NFL, catapulting the Bills to consistent playoff contention. Diggs was an absolute force on the field, racking up 5,372 receiving yards, 445 catches, and 37 touchdowns during his time in Buffalo. Losing such a player was never going to be easy, and many feared the Bills’ offense would stumble without him.

However, Allen has been quick to quiet those doubts. So far this season, the quarterback has been on fire, amassing seven passing touchdowns and adding two more on the ground. Despite the departures, Buffalo remains undefeated at 3-0, with Allen leading the charge.

The team’s next challenge comes in the form of Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens, a Sunday night showdown with serious implications. As for the drama surrounding Allen and Diggs, only time will tell whether this chapter is truly closed or if the speculation will continue to shadow Buffalo’s season.
