Despite a four-game winning streak, Allen’s 42 total touchdowns have been overshadowed by his turnover woes, amounting to 19 this season. While he leads the Bills’ offensive charge with all but seven touchdowns, his interception count raises concerns, trailing only Washington’s Sam Howell.

Pat Mahomes over Josh Allen in the Pro Bowl 😂😂 what a joke – must be watching a different league

His statistical decline extends to career-worst percentages in yards per attempt, yards per game, touchdown percentage, and success rate. Despite this, Mahomes secures a spot in the 2024 Pro Bowl alongside teammates Creed Humphrey, Chris Jones, Travis Kelce, and Joe Thuney.

Jalen Hurts is an alternate, Josh Allen didn't even make it, and C.J. Stroud, who was arguably the best QB this season, didn't make the #Probowl, but Pat Mahomes made it???? #NFL https://t.co/UZhr9dvedv pic.twitter.com/k91MlgMxTS

A pattern of snubbing Josh Allen.

Remember this when they give the MVP award to a guy with just 29 touchdowns who scores barely half his team's points.

Stefon Diggs and the Bills: A Puzzling Situation…

The relationship between Stefon Diggs and the Buffalo Bills has grown increasingly perplexing. Diggs, who turned 30 on November 29, faces reduced snap counts and a diminished offensive role. Reports indicate that he hasn’t spoken to reporters since addressing his decreased production, and questions regarding his situation were met with silence from coach Sean McDermott during a recent video conference.

Amidst the confusion, Diggs’ brother, Trevon Diggs, suggested in November that Stefon might benefit from leaving the Bills. The receiver’s performance has notably declined since then, raising questions about his future with the team. Despite surpassing 1,000 yards for the season, Diggs has had minimal impact in recent games, leading to speculation about his potential release or departure from the Bills in the offseason. The uncertainty surrounding Diggs adds another layer of intrigue to the looming questions about his future and his desire to pursue championship success, which may involve exploring opportunities with other teams, such as the Chiefs.
