""I was blacking out, bro," Diggs told Kyed. "They were holding me in the tent. They said I had a concussion, but they never touched my head, I never laid on the ground. They monitored me for a concussion. I said, 'I never had a concussion.' I was touching my shoulder, so how y'all say I had a concussion? I was fighting with them to get back out there.""
""It was the first drive. I'm wired to get back out there to make plays for my team. We had a little stall, so I was like, 'Damn, I'm supposed to be out there.' I feel like I let the team down if I'm not out there. I apologized to them afterwards, but you can't stop me from being out on the field.""
Stefon Diggs briefly retreated to New England's sideline medical tent after appearing to injure his shoulder on a 25-yard reception early in the first quarter. He exited the tent out the back before being cleared to return to play. Diggs reported he was blacking out, disputed the concussion assessment, and fought to re-enter the game. Diggs then played a central role in the Patriots' comeback, totaling nine catches for 138 yards and converting critical third- and fourth-down plays. New England won 28-24, with Diggs contributing two plays before the go-ahead score.
