At the beginning of the 2022 National Football League season, The Sporting Base NFL Analyst Dave Gray predicted the Buffalo Bills would win the Super Bowl. In their second prime time game of the season on Monday (their first was a 31-10 win over the defending Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams on opening night), the Bills clobbered the Tennessee Titans 41-7, showing that they are indeed a team to be reckoned with.
Buffalo had two explosive offensive weapons on Monday. Quarterback Josh Allen completed 26 of 38 passes for 317 yards and four touchdowns. The story of the game was Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs of Gaithersburg, Maryland, who was an absolute beast. He had 12 catches for 148 yards and three touchdowns.
According to ESPN, Diggs becomes the second Bills player in franchise history to have 100 yards receiving in each of his first two games in a season. He had eight catches for 122 yards in week one. The first was Hall of Famer Andre Reed of Allentown, Pennsylvania, who accomplished the feat in the 1991 season. On September 1, 1991, Reed had 11 catches for 154 yards and one touchdown in a 35-31 Bills win over the Miami Dolphins. On September 8, 1991, Reed had nine catches for 118 yards and one touchdown in a 52-34 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

What is also impressive about Diggs’s statistics so far is the fact he has four receiving touchdowns already. That is the most in the NFL. Diggs had a career high 10 touchdown catches last season. After two games in 2022, he has already reached 40% of that total.
But Buffalo may face a bit of a challenge for the AFC East Division title. The Miami Dolphins are also at 2-0.
