Diggs' 101-Yard Game Powers Patriots' 42-13 Win

The New England Patriots defeated the Carolina Panthers 42-13 as Stefon Diggs caught six of seven targets for 101 yards, nearly half of QB Drake Maye’s 203 passing yards. Diggs produced multiple explosive plays, including gains of 33 and 22 yards, and converted a key fourth-down catch in a game that featured seven plays of 20+ yards. Maye praised Diggs’ route running and leadership, saying he has “full trust” and looks faster and more comfortable each week. The performance was Diggs’ 37th career 100-yard game, has boosted optimism as New England moved to 2-2, and could lead to an expanded role (including snaps in the slot). Off the field, Diggs wore a custom Kobe V Protro cleat inspired by Caitlin Clark.
