Stefon Diggs Returns to Buffalo Sunday Night

Stefon Diggs is set to make his first return to Buffalo this Sunday night when the New England Patriots face his former team in a pivotal AFC East divisional matchup. Diggs called the trip “a little sentimental,” said he looks forward to seeing and hugging former teammates, but emphasized he’ll keep his focus on helping prepare his teammates for the hostile crowd noise. He comes off a breakout outing for New England — six catches for 101 yards in a 42-13 win over Carolina — and currently leads the Patriots early in catches and receiving yards this season. Diggs has downplayed lingering rust after a 2024 ACL tear and stressed the professional nature of roster moves. Bills players and coaches say he remains a major game-changer who must be accounted for; Diggs is a four-time Pro Bowler who posted his best seasons in Buffalo, including leading the league in receptions and yards in 2020.
