"Late in the first quarter, Maye launched a pass on the run in Diggs's direction down the sideline. The throw was a bit short, so Diggs had to turn around and elevate over New York's Qwan'tez Stiggers to snag it. "I'm feeling like Austin Hooper, man, he made a hell of a catch earlier this year," Diggs said, shouting out one of his teammates and yelling to others that he was aware it was almost time to go home."
"The productive day put him just 30 yards away from his seventh 1000-yard season in eight years. "We didn't get to finish the game today," Diggs said. "I was even telling my teammates I was a little mad at myself that I didn't squeeze the lemon. We have a little rule: squeeze the lemon and make fruit punch. I didn't ask for lemonade.""
Stefon Diggs caught six of six targets for 101 yards and a touchdown in the New England Patriots' 42-10 win over the Jets. He made a 31-yard sideline grab by turning and elevating over Qwan'tez Stiggers. The performance marked his second straight 100-yard game and left him 30 yards shy of his seventh 1,000-yard season in eight years with one game remaining. Diggs said he felt he left some energy on the field after starters were pulled and used a squeeze-the-lemon metaphor to describe his desire for more production. He also praised teammate Austin Hooper during his remarks.
