Former Vikings receiver hurls an NSFW insult at Patriots fans
By Adam Patrick
Former Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs talked some trash to New England Patriots fans after scoring for the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
Sunday was a big matchup for former Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs and his current team, the Buffalo Bills, as they had to go on the road to take on a talented New England Patriots team.
With less than two minutes left in the second quarter, the Bills were leading 10-7 and facing a 3rd-and-11 from the Patriots 12-yard line. Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen took the snap and fired a pass in the middle of the end zone to Diggs for six.
Following his ninth touchdown catch of the season, the former Vikings receiver started pointing at some Patriots fans sitting behind the end zone and delivered a heartfelt message to them.

For as impressive as Justin Jefferson has been for Minnesota during the last two seasons, it’s still bittersweet to see Diggs performing well in a uniform that isn’t purple and gold.
After leading the NFL in catches and receiving yards last year, the former Vikings pass-catcher has seen his numbers take a slight dip this season. However, Diggs is still playing at a significantly high level for Buffalo as he’s hauled in 89 passes for 1,092 yards and nine touchdowns.
Diggs and the Bills ended up getting the win over New England on Sunday, improving their record this season to 9-6 and moving into first place in the AFC East.
Buffalo is on track to make the playoffs for the third year in a row, and after falling to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship last season, Diggs and the Bills should be plenty motivated to make it even farther this time.
