"The New England Patriots played the Buffalo Bills on Sunday Night Football in Week 5, and one thing was immediately clear from the start of the game: Stefon Diggs wasn't going to let the Patriots lose the game. The star receiver, who played four seasons with the Bills, was determined to win in his return to Buffalo, and he did just that, catching 10 passes for 146 yards, as New England won 23-20."
"It shouldn't come as a surprise that Diggs had such a dominant outing against his former team, because the receiver's history has shown that he's at his best when seeking revenge. Including Sunday night's performance, Diggs' last two games with 125+ yards came against former teams. The other time was in 2022, as a member of the Bills, when he faced off against the Minnesota Vikings for he first time since they traded him to Buffalo."
"If the Patriots could just bottle this version of Diggs, or somehow trick him into believing that every opponent is a former team of his, New England might go undefeated for the rest of the year. Seriously, though, the wideout admitted that Sunday's game was 100% personal, and it was evident in his play. While the Patriots won't be playing the Bills, Vikings, or Houston Texans every week, there's reason to believe that Diggs will continue to show up big for New England."
Stefon Diggs caught 10 passes for 146 yards to lead the New England Patriots to a 23-20 win over the Buffalo Bills in Week 5 Sunday Night Football. Diggs played four seasons with Buffalo and treated the return to his former home as a personal mission, producing a dominant outing. The receiver's history shows his best games often come against former teams, with his last two 125+ yard performances occurring in such matchups. Week 5 marked his second consecutive game with over 100 receiving yards. Diggs tore his ACL less than a year ago and appears to be regaining peak form.
