Stefon Diggs claps back at fans
Stefon Diggs wasn’t too pleased on the sideline Sunday. Cameras caught him chewing out his quarterback, Josh Allen, following an unsuccessful drive during the blowout loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in the Divisional Round. Reports came back afterwords that a teammate brought him back into the locker room after he tried to leave the stadium before the coaching staff was there.
Fans on social media were polarized by his reaction. Some understood he was emotional after a bad game. Other fans called him out for being a poor teammate and not showing sportsmanship after the game. With time to think about his actions, Diggs typed a message on his Twitter account, seemingly referring to Sunday’s incidents:
“Want me to be okay with losing ? Nah”, he wrote.

Diggs is doubling down on how he reacted to losing a playoff game. His frustrations are understandable. NFL players put their bodies and minds through a lot to compete for a Super Bowl. One wouldn’t want a player to be apathetic about losing. We’ll see how his teammates react. His actions ultimately are between himself and his teammates.
