Did Josh Allen just make a subtle jab at Stefon Diggs?

The Buffalo Bills are off to a hot start this season at 3-0. That includes quarterback Josh Allen getting some attention for an MVP-like start.

The Buffalo Bills are off to a hot start this season at 3-0. 

That includes quarterback Josh Allen getting some attention for an MVP-like start. Allen has the highest total QBR (92.6), completion rate (75%), first down percentage (43%), passing touchdown percentage (9.7%), and yards per dropback (8.2) through three games in his seven-year NFL career, according to ESPN Stats. He has yet to throw an interception this season either.

Allen currently leads the NFL in passer rating (133.7).

In Monday's 47-10 win against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Bills had five straight touchdown drives in the first half. And four different Bills players caught those touchdowns, which is quite notable for Buffalo in their post-Stefon Diggs era.

"It's paying dividends of what we've worked on throughout the entire offseason and through training camp of the 'everybody eats' mentality," Allen told reporters after the win. "And, again, it could be your play this play. You never know when it's gonna happen. And that's the beauty of it. When guys get to buy into this and really understand, like, 'I may not get the ball four, five times thrown to me a game, but the one or two times I do, I'm gonna have opportunities to be in the end zone.' You know, it's a fun and wonderful thing when you have a bunch of guys that don't care about the stats, they don't care about the touchdowns, and again, I think throughout practice, we've just had this mindset of like, 'Hey, let's just do things the right way and find ways to win football games. That's what we're doing right now."

Of course, he didn't mention his former wide receiver by name. But, the jab feels like it was meant to be at Diggs. Diggs now plays for the Houston Texans, a blockbuster trade that went down in April.

In exchange for the four-time Pro Bowler, the Bills received a 2025 second-round pick (via Minnesota), while also sending a  2024 sixth-rounder and a 2025 fifth-round pick to Houston along with Diggs. 

Diggs' relationship with the Bills deteriorated after they fired offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey and he saw his production decrease. 

According to CBS Sports, after recording 100-yard receiving games in five of his first six games, Diggs averaged 51.2 receiving yards per game the rest of the way. He finished the year with 107 catches for 1,183 yards and eight touchdowns.

Diggs, who was drafted in 2015 from the University of Maryland, is still one of the biggest wide receiver threats in the league. He's caught 20 passes this season for 164 yards, plus two touchdowns from quarterback C.J. Stroud. The Texans are 2-1, dropping their latest game to the Minnesota Vikings – the team that originally drafted Diggs.

The Texans host Allen and the Bills on Oct. 6.
