The Bills Mafia couldn’t believe their eyes watching Josh Allen and Co miss out on the opportunity again at Highmark stadium. They lost the game 27-10 against the Bengals in the AFC divisional round. Wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who had minimal activity on Sunday, looked seemingly frustrated and left the locker room packing his stuff.
Diggs is one of the highly competitive athletes playing in the NFC. In each and every game, the youngster gives his best, and hence losing a game of this magnitude didn’t go well with him. His animated behavior on the sidelines took no time to circulate on social media. Moreover, the latest update suggests that he left the locker room following a frustrating defeat.
Bills WR Stefon Diggs darted out of the locker room with all his stuff before some of the Bills coaches were even down to the tunnel area. Practice squad RB Duke Johnson stopped Diggs before he left the stadium and brought him back to the locker room. He left a few minutes later.

According to the NFL insider Joe Buscaglia, Diggs rushed into the locker room after the game. He packed his own stuff and exited the room, even before the coaches arrived. Meanwhile, he was instantly stopped by the practice squad running back Duke Johnson.
After staying back for a couple of minutes, the three-time Pro Bowler eventually stepped out of the locker room. Indeed, the frustration looks natural because he happened to be a leader in the receiving yards but couldn’t get much activity during the game.

He recorded four catches for 35 yards this week. One of the highlights was Diggs yelling at Josh Allen on the sidelines. The quarterback, who looked focused on watching the film on the tablet, gave minimal attention to the wideout.
As soon as this series of events gained traction, celebrities like Dez Bryant came forward to justify his behavior. “Y’all quit acting like the game of football doesn’t come with a lot of emotions…Diggs doesn’t hate Allen.. he was clearly frustrated about the situation.. we laugh at fans breaking their Tv whenever their favorite team loses… imagine being frustrated in a win-or-go-home situation,” Bryant wrote on Twitter.

There is no debate over the fact that Allen struggled to roll the ball downfield. He completed 25 out of 42 passes for 265 yards and one interception. Anyways, Diggs remained in the spotlight throughout the game.
Losing is emotional, please don’t judge.

Indefensible. Love Stefon but that’s our of order. Seeing him shouting at Josh on the sideline was horrible. Lost a lot of respect for him.
