Buffalo Bills players were understandably disappointed after their loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night, but Stefon Diggs had no interest in discussing his emotions.
The Chiefs advanced to their sixth consecutive AFC Championship Game with a 27-24 win over the Bills at Highmark Stadium in Buffalo, N.Y. Diggs snubbed the media after the game, though he did not speak with reporters after the Bills beat the Pittsburgh Steelers last week, either.
Stefon Diggs declined to talk to media today when asked. Worth noting Diggs didn’t talk when asked after last week’s win either.

Diggs had an impressive 107 catches for 1,183 yards and 8 touchdowns during the regular season, but much of that production came early on. He failed to top 87 yards receiving in any of Buffalo’s final 11 regular-season games. The struggles continued during the postseason, where Diggs had 73 receiving yards across two games and did not find the end zone.
A lack of focus appeared to be an issue for Diggs at times over the past few months, and that was the case once again against Kansas City. The star receiver had a huge drop in the fourth quarter that could have impacted the outcome of the game.

It is fair to wonder if Diggs will be back with the Bills next season. The 30-year-old has been openly frustrated with his lack of production for quite some time now. He was also unhappy with for much of the offseason, though it is still unclear why. There have been hints that Diggs may not have confidence in Josh Allen.
Diggs signed a 4-year, $104 million contract extension prior to the 2022 season. He is tied to Buffalo through 2027, but no one would be shocked if the two sides decide to part ways in the coming months.
