"In the Patriots' stirring 23-20 victory, which sent a message to rest of the AFC and a national audience on NBC's "Sunday Night Football" that they are no longer anyone's punch line or pushover, Diggs was both essential and sensational, finishing with 10 catches on 12 targets for 146 yards."
"A week after his finest game as a Patriot, with six catches for 101 yards in a 42-13 rout of the Panthers, Diggs relegated that performance to distant runner-up status."
""I'm just so excited," Diggs told SNF reporter Melissa Stark after the game. "Obviously this game has a way of teaching you a lot of things. I told everyone in the beginning of the game, 'Band together. Lean on your brother.' I'm just so proud of these guys. [Drake's] first time in prime time, I can't tell ... I'm just happy to be a part of this thing.""
Stefon Diggs, formerly a four-season Bill with consecutive 100-catch, 1,000-yard campaigns, produced a dominant performance for the Patriots in Orchard Park. Diggs caught 10 passes on 12 targets for 146 yards in a 23-20 prime-time win over his former team, the Bills. The performance followed a six-catch, 101-yard outing in a recent 42-13 victory over the Panthers. Diggs showcased an immediate rapport with new Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, making crucial plays throughout the game. The win signaled a shift in perception of the Patriots as a competitive AFC contender.
