Stefon Diggs' stats in 2022-23 NFL season

NFL Playoffs: Bills vs Dolphins prediction
The Bills finished the AFC East with a 13-4 record and clinched the divisional title. Meanwhile, the Dolphins took second place in the division with a 10-7 record.
Buffalo are currently on an incredible seven-game win streak heading into the playoffs. The Dolphins also won their final regular-season game against the New York Jets.
The Bills are clear favorites heading into this contest, especially with Josh Allen leading their offense. Moreover, the Dolphins will not have their starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa for this matchup.
On paper it looks like Miami don't have a chance. Bookmakers and analysts alike are all predicting a Buffalo landslide. While this seems to be the most likely scenario, you just never know in the playoffs.
On a frozen football pitch, an offense can stutter and if Miami can keep the scoring low, there is a chance they could scrape it. Turnovers and penalties have to be kept to a minimum in order for the Dolphins to have a realistic shot.
