Stefon Diggs has his first monster game

In his debut with the Bills, Stefon Diggs did have a good game. His eight catches last week was a higher single-game total than he had all of last season with the Vikings. Against the Dolphins, it was even better. Buffalo saw the true No. 1 receiver that he is and why the club gave up a first-round pick for him.

Diggs had his first 100-plus yard game with the Bills, but that’s just scratching the surface. Diggs had a couple of very impressive catches. The top highlight-reel play came in the first half as Diggs high-pointed a catch from Allen on a crossing route which was a grab that not a lot of guys make. In the fourth quarter, clutch Diggs came to play. On Buffalo’s go-ahead drive, Diggs, with rookie first-round cornerback Noah Igbinoghene in coverage, had a huge gain for the right sideline to help set up the game-winning score.

Diggs finished the contest with another eight receptions with a whopping 153 yards and his own touchdown catch (one we missed due to power outages in Miami cutting out the television feed). Folks in the Minnesota area will cringe watching the highlights from this one.
