The emotions Stefon Diggs had during the Buffalo Bills’ divisional-round loss to the Cincinnati Bengals did not end at the final whistle.
According to various reports including The Athletic, Diggs quickly got out of the Bills locker room following the game. Reportedly, Diggs left, quickly went back into the room, and then departed for good:
Diggs was in the locker room for Sean McDermott’s post-game speech, according to the Bills head coach.

During the game, Diggs was spotted on Buffalo’s sideline seemingly upset with quarterback Josh Allen. He appeared to yell at the QB during the fourth quarter of the 27-10 loss.
After leaving the locker room, Diggs did not speak to the media. He left the stadium for good.
Diggs heading out in an upset fashion is not a great look no matter how you slice it.
While fans of a team might enjoy Diggs snubbing his media responsibilities, teammates might think differently. After such a loss, no one wants to face the music. It’s not fun.
Diggs, a team captain, decided his teammates could take care of that. He was out.
One can envision the Bills downplaying the scenario, but you have to believe there will be a conversation with him after his actions both on and off the field.
