Bills star receiver Stefon Diggs offered his first public comments Monday after his outburst on the bench during the Bills’ 27-10 divisional loss to the Bengals and his abrupt departure after the game, according to reports.
Diggs shared a series of tweets acknowledging the events of Sunday’s game. The veteran wide receiver was seen having a heated exchange late in the game with quarterback Josh Allen on the sideline amid the Bills’ poor offensive performance and was later mentioned in a report stating that he “shot out ” out of the locker room after the game with his belongings before returning briefly.
“Do you want me to agree to losing? Not. Diggs wrote in the first tweet.. Less than a minute later, the 29-year-old followed the tweet with another one who reads: “Do you want him to be fine with our level of play when he is not up to it? Not.
diggs then added a third and final tweet addressing the criticism he has received for his actions. “It’s easy to criticize my reaction more than the result,” she wrote.
The Bills’ bitter loss on Sunday came in front of the Buffalo faithful and marked a disappointing end to a promising 13-3 campaign as the team struggled through all three phases en route to its lowest-scoring game in the league. season. The Bengals defense wreaked havoc on Allen throughout the game, holding him to 25 of 42 days for 265 passing yards with one interception. Diggs saw 10 targets in the contest, but hauled in just four receptions for 35 yards.
After the unusually poor outing, Allen discussed his interaction with Diggs and noted the moment as a product of the wide receiver’s competitiveness and the need to improve the offense. The incident occurred after a fumble on Buffalo’s penultimate drive of the game following an incomplete pass from Allen to receiver Gabriel Davis at the Bengals 16-yard line.
“He’s a fierce competitor,” allen said. “He wants the ball. Whatever it is we couldn’t get him the ball tonight, we’re going to have to learn from it.”
Allen’s comments followed a report from the athleticby Joe Buscaglia about Diggs leaving Highmark Stadium before the coaches got to the locker room. Buscaglia noted that practice squad running back Duke Johnson convinced Diggs to come back and stay a few more minutes before leaving again. Coach Sean McDermott later told reporters that Diggs was present for the coach’s locker room speech.
Since acquiring Diggs from the Vikings before the 2020 season, Buffalo has posted three straight 11-plus win seasons with a trifecta of AFC East titles, but has yet to reach a Super Bowl. With Sunday’s loss, the club has now recorded back-to-back divisional round exits after losing to the Chiefs in the 2020 AFC Championship Game.
