Stefon Diggs Feels Thankful Towards Josh Allen For Defending Him: “Quarterback who has my back”

Stefon Diggs’ remarks came in his usual weekly press conference, a day after Allen claimed he was tired of “hearing all this nonsense from people” about the wide receiver’s sideline behaviour.

Stefon Diggs Feels Thankful Towards Josh Allen For Defending Him: “Quarterback who has my back”

Both players were reacting to a televised incident in which Diggs slammed a tablet during the Bills’ 25-20 loss to the Jaguars. With 5 minutes, 40 seconds remaining in the third quarter of Sunday’s game, the moment was televised. Diggs sat on the bench, slammed the iPad down, then threw it on the ground as he stood up.

Many people believe Diggs overreacted and should work on regulating his emotions. Despite his reservations about Diggs’ demeanor, Allen stated earlier this week that he views events like these as proof that Diggs wants better for an offense that is rich with potential.

“He’s a competitor; he’s a fiery competitor. “I’m sick of hearing people’s nonsense,” Allen stated. “There’s a lot of guys in the league that have that same fire that don’t get talked about. He’s a lot of our juice on the sideline, making sure the offense is staying up and as energized as possible and we feed off of that.”

Stefon Diggs of the Buffalo Bills stated he is grateful to have a quarterback that believes in him and that he tries everything he can to succeed and be a good teammate.

“Obviously, I’m thankful to have a quarterback who has my back and someone who understands, somebody who is out there, somebody who plays the game of football,” Diggs said Thursday when asked about recent comments by quarterback Josh Allen. “For other people, it’s hard for me to put it in words how much time and effort goes into football and how serious it is out there. When things aren’t going right and you put a lot on yourself and you want more for yourself, you want more for your team.

During the Bills’ loss to the Jaguars on Sunday, broadcasts showed Diggs slamming a tablet in disgust. The incident occurred with 5:40 remaining in the third quarter and Jacksonville leading 18-7.
