One of the biggest moments, unfortunately, in the Buffalo Bills' loss to the Cincinnati Bengals was a sideline moment with Stefon Diggs.
Diggs was visibly angry with something going on in the contest. Whether it be not getting enough targets or just the overall anger at the situation, we don't know.
To add salt to the wound, it was reported that Diggs stormed out and had to be helped back to the locker room before ultimately leaving the stadium.
Diggs responds
There were many questions fans were asking about what kind of mindset Diggs was in during the on-field incident. Now, it appears we finally have some answers from the man himself. In a flurry of tweets, Diggs responded swiftly on social media.
Diggs, a captain on the roster, wears his heart on his sleeve. This wasn't the first time this season that the talented wide receiver was visibly upset on the sideline.
Sean McDermott, during his media availability, discussed the wide receiver and specifically what had happened since the sideline eruption.
Admittedly, the Bills played their worst game of football and the frustration could be felt from the players to the coaches to even the fans.
Ultimate goal
The team needs to be better in order to bring home the illustrious first-ever Super Bowl title to Buffalo.
Unfortunately, it's moments like this that critics will point to. The same critics claimed the receiver was a diva during his tenure with the Vikings.
Diggs is a talented wide receiver who doesn't shy away from showing his emotions. This was perfectly showcased by what went down on the field during the devastating loss.
However, Diggs is one of the hardest-working members of this roster. The receiver is undoubtedly going to use this moment to fuel him to continued greatness.
Yesterday's outcome was not what anyone envisioned, but not all is lost.
The Buffalo Bills have both Stefon Diggs and Josh Allen locked up for the next few years. This one moment of perceived weakness will not define the All-Pro wide receiver's career.
