3. ESPN on the Bills' game-changing offseason move that made a big impact on the season
One of the biggest improvements that this Bills team has made from 2019 to 2020 is scoring points. Buffalo increased its points per game average by 11.7 points from 2019 to 2020. Brandon Beane and the Bills front office brought in the right players during the offseason and it is paying dividends. ESPN's NFL Nation laid out one game-changing move for every team left in the playoffs. For the Bills, the move was trading for Stefon Diggs who was the first receiver in franchise history to lead the league in receptions and receiving yards in a single season.

Offseason priority: Simple: score more points. The Bills managed a paltry 19.6 points per game last season, mostly due to the NFL's 26th-ranked passing offense at 201.8 yards per game. General manager Brandon Beane insisted on getting his team more weapons around Allen as the Bills continued to evaluate their potential franchise quarterback.
How it played out: Beane pulled the trigger on one of the offseason's biggest moves on March 16, trading for Diggs. The Bills also selected Gabriel Davis in the fourth round of the 2020 draft, but Diggs was an immediate game-changer. The former Viking spent most of the season at or near the top of the league's leaderboard for receptions and receiving yards and finished the season as the NFL's leader in both categories. Diggs' arrival revitalized Buffalo's passing game, which leapt from 26th to third in 2020. As a result, the Bills' owned the league's second-best scoring offense at 31.3 points per game.
What it means vs. Ravens: When these teams met last season, Baltimore's aggressive defense stymied an already-stagnant Bills offense, which mustered just 209 yards in a 24-17 loss. But Buffalo's defense held the Ravens to just 257 yards, which was a highly impressive performance against the league's second-ranked offense. With a high-powered offense of their own, the Bills are more equipped to counter Baltimore's aggression, and Diggs' presence should alleviate some of the pressure Allen is likely to face. -- Marcel Louis-Jacques
