Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs hauled in one of the biggest catches in Vikings history against the Saints back in 2018. But it was a far different story for much of Sunday’s NFC Wild Card matchup against New Orleans.
Diggs wasn’t targeted at all by Kirk Cousins in the first half against New Orleans, and as that trend continued deep into the third quarter, the Vikings wide receiver let his frustrations play out for everyone to see.
Midway into the third quarter, Diggs approached the sideline and threw his helmet towards the bench out of frustration. He still hadn’t been targeted in the game, and teammates — including Dalvin Cook and Cousins — tried to calm him down.

Diggs was eventually targeted at the 4:36 mark in the third quarter as he hauled in a nine-yard reception to set up a touchdown. Until that point, this was the closest Diggs came to catching the football.

Even with the Vikings leading, it was that kind of day for Diggs.
