21. Stefon Diggs, Most receptions in a playoff game

The Buffalo Bills have fallen short in the postseason every year. It’s getting to the point that some are even pondering if Sean McDermott is on the hot seat. They need to have a positive playoff experience after some brutal losses. There is an air of desperation around this team. It’s not necessarily do or die for the Bills in the playoffs, but the window doesn’t feel as open as it’s been for the past five years.

That desperation will lead to the team and Josh Allen leaning on the best receiver when it matters most. There is a record that will be broken in the process. Stefon Diggs is going to catch 20 balls in a game. It seems preposterous, but Diggs is capable of pulling off something this insane.

Currently, the record is held by Darren Sproles. That makes a lot of sense. He was the outlet to multiple teams, and his biggest impact as a running back was in the passing game. Diggs is a different animal because he has aspects to his game that stretch the field.

Diggs could also catch the ball in the short game. With Allen, against certain defenses, it would make sense for the Bills to just pound the ball to Diggs. They need to go far in the playoffs, and Diggs is their best chance to do it every play.
