The Facts: Catching passes from Josh Allen when he dials up maximum velocity is tough enough. Doing it with numb fingers is even tougher, and that's what Allen's targets will be dealing with Saturday night against the Patriots; Buffalo weather for Saturday currently projects at a low of 2 degrees. While catching Josh Allen's fastballs won't be easy, Diggs has at least experienced worse in terms of weather. He harkened back to a January 2016 playoff game against the Seahawks when he was with the Vikings -- the third-coldest playoff game ever at -6 degrees, with a wind chill of -25. "I'm not too much of a complainer," Diggs said. "And I played in one of the coldest games in history. ... I'll be alright."

Diehards Line: Diggs, among the game's most sure-handed receivers, acknowledged Tuesday that he's been known to ask Allen to take something off his throws. Allen, for his part, isn't changing anything about his game. The adjustment will have to be Diggs'. "I think the second you start messing with mechanics and stuff, it only tends to make things worse," Allen said. "You just gotta trust guys out there, you gotta trust yourself and what you're seeing and what you're throwing, and go based on that. It's gonna be hard for both teams to catch the ball." Indeed, the weather will affect all, but the Patriots already have shown a willingness to radically alter a game plan for Buffalo weather. Earlier this season, New England won in Buffalo while throwing just three passes -- albeit more because of wind than cold -- but beat the Bills strictly with an effective running game just the same. Don't expect such a move from the home team. The strong-armed Allen will let it rip. And Diggs, numb fingers and all, will battle the elements right along with the Patriots. ...
