As Stefon Diggs begins his new journey with the Houston Texans, a story emerged that gave a look into some possible frustration between the former Buffalo Bills wide receiver and quarterback Josh Allen.
The Athletic's Tim Graham, who covers the Bills, recalled a story from Buffalo's Week 1 loss to the New York Jets on his podcast, Tim Graham and Friends on Thursday. He explained that as tensions rose following the loss, Allen "snapped" at Diggs in the locker room.
"As I recall, I didn't include it because I didn't know what Stefon Diggs said to him, but Josh Allen snapped at him. He said, 'It's one f—ing game!' and kind of motioned like I'm not talking to you here," Graham said (around the 19-minute mark). "And Diggs walked away and Josh sat there. In retrospect, keeping in mind this was Week 1 when for all we know everyone is hunky dory, but looking back on it I wish I would have included that in my story or made some sort of reference to it. Maybe Stefon Diggs was saying something nice to him, but (Allen) didn't snap at anybody else."
In the loss that Graham described, Allen had 236 passing yards and a touchdown but threw three interceptions. Diggs had 102 receiving yards and a touchdown as the Bills fell to the Jets, who lost starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers just four plays into the game.
Buffalo went on to have a solid 11-6 season, losing to the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional round.
Now, Allen and the Bills will look to move forward with Diggs now in Houston.
