The best thing

The drama surrounding Stefon Diggs has been quieted a bit since two weeks ago, but hopefully the wide receiver is more than content with his output in Week 6 since he led the team in receiving yards.

Diggs caught seven of the 11 passes thrown his way in the game, gaining 167 yards and scored three touchdowns. This was a monster of a game against a struggling Eagles secondary that looked far too easy at times.

Philadelphia couldn’t deal with the receiver on deep routes. Diggs using his speed, acceleration, and excellent route running to blow past defensive backs to score two long touchdowns in the game.

While it wasn’t a perfect game for Diggs, this game proves that Minnesota can beat teams with several different pass catchers if the opposition plans to take one away. And even with that, Adam Thielen had a solid game as well.
