"Leading into the Patriots' first matchup against the Bills in October, there were a lot of headlines surrounding Stefon Diggs' return to Buffalo for the first time since they traded him to the Texans a year before. The receiver hadn't had a breakout game yet, and the unresolved feelings he had stemming from the end of his tenure were a story that couldn't be avoided. Diggs put most of that to rest with his impressive humility and professional manner during interviews before and after the game, and his performance against his former team only made it that much better."
"Given his experience with the Bills in the years after Tom Brady left the division, Diggs understands better than most on the current Patriots roster how big this week's game is and what it means to the fans, who have been beyond excited for this year's success. Because of that, the wide receiver sent a message to the fans who will be in attendance for the matchup, and hopefully, they will elevate the team with their excitement even more."
Stefon Diggs returned to Buffalo for the first time since being traded and faced lingering feelings from his departure. He displayed humility and professionalism in interviews before and after the matchup. Diggs followed that with a season-best performance of ten receptions for 146 yards, his best game of 2025 so far. His experience with the Bills after Tom Brady's exit gives him perspective on how important the game is to fans. The Patriots recreated a charged primetime atmosphere similar to the Brady era with a sold-out crowd and familiar songs. Diggs urged attending fans to elevate the team with their excitement.
