For Allen and Diggs, it’s their first time making it onto the Pro Bowl roster. It’s the third-straight year Roberts has earned the honor, and the second-straight Pro Bowl appearance for White and Edmunds.
Each of the five have posted impressive numbers and have been crucial to this year’s 11-3 season that’s not over yet.

Allen produced 4,000 passing yards through his 14th game of the 2020 season, which is the second-most in team history in a single season. The quarterback also broke Hall of Famer Jim Kelly’s team record for most total touchdowns, 34, in a season. Allen currently has 38 with two regular season games left.
Against the Broncos, Allen also recorded his seventh 300-yard passing game and seventh game posting a passer rating above 100 this season.
Diggs is having his best professional season in his first year with the Buffalo Bills. He has recorded his third-straight 1,000-yard season. The wide receiver has reached career highs in receptions, 111, and receiving yards, 1,314. Diggs broke the team’s single-season reception record set by Eric Moulds in 2002. After his 11-reception performance against the Broncos, Diggs became the eighth player in NFL history with three consecutive games with at least 10 catches.
QB Josh Allen, WR Stefon Diggs, LB Tremaine Edmunds, KR/PR Andre Roberts and CB Tre’Davious White have been named to the Pro Bowl.
