The New England Patriots are aware of the accusations that have been made regarding Stefon Diggs. Stefon has informed the organization that he categorically denies the allegations. We support Stefon. We will continue to gather information and will cooperate fully with the appropriate authorities and the NFL as necessary. Out of respect for all parties involved, and given that this is an ongoing legal matter, we will have no further comment at this time.

It was just one year ago that the Patriots were heavily pursuing some of the top free agents, hoping to rebuild their team into a powerhouse competitor to regain the AFC East and help rookie quarterback Drake Maye start his NFL career on the right foot. That didn't work too well, though, particularly with their interest in wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, who demanded a trade from the 49ers.

Here are Saturday's minor moves around the NFL, including gameday elevations for the remainder of Week 13: Atlanta Falcons Buffalo Bills Cleveland Browns Houston Texans Indianapolis Colts Jacksonville Jaguars Las Vegas Raiders Los Angeles Chargers Minnesota Vikings New York Jets San Francisco 49ers Seattle Seahawks Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tennessee Titans

"I've been productive on third down. I've been productive on first and second down. We've got a lot of guys who are making a lot of plays," Diggs said. "The moment they put a little bit of attention on me, you see Pop Douglas, you see Kayshon Boutte, you see Mack Hollins... I don't think about it too much.

The best of the bunch and the team's leader in receptions is Stefon Diggs. In the Carolina and Buffalo games, Diggs seemed poised to break out as the Patriots' consistently top receiver. Yet, against the Saints, he had only three catches for 28 yards while Kayshon Boutte led the way with five for 93. Rhamondre Stevenson and Hunter Henry are the other two who've led the team in catches in games.

It's not ideal to blame the referees for a loss or any bad call/no-call, but their work in the Patriots' game this week was so egregious that even NFL analysts and insiders were commenting on it. By the end of the game, they had taken away over 100 yards and a touchdown from the Patriots with a phantom call on Stefon Diggs, who was not ready to let it go when speaking to reporters.

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.
