Stefon Diggs had a quiet night on the stat sheet in the Buffalo Bills’ 42-36 overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The Pro Bowl wide receiver took a backseat to Gabriel Davis’s record-setting performance and had only three catches on six official targets for seven yards. While he added a two-point conversion in the fourth quarter, it was an uncharacteristically quiet night for a stellar player expected to feast against the Chiefs’ inconsistent secondary.
Diggs found a way to channel his frustration, however. Right into the shoulder of a fan dumb enough to run onto the field with two minutes left in a 26-21 playoff game. While the CBS broadcast only caught the tail end of security wiping a streaker from the turf, this video from the stands shows the Buffalo receiver taking the initiative and hitting someone stupid enough to trespass on his field:

Look at that. Diggs wasn’t even near this guy. He had to run past the line of scrimmage to get to him. But a true professional never passes up an opportunity, and Diggs seized his. He saw a man dumb enough to get arrested before arguably the greatest two-minute stretch of playoff football in NFL history and let him know just how stupid he was. Physically. By hitting him.
It was the on-field equivalent of “getcha popcorn ready,” only Diggs didn’t need to say a single word to convey his excitement. We should have known right there the ending to Bills-Chiefs was going to be special. This would have been incredible to watch from the stadium. One very dumb fan had to hear the aftermath while being detained by security instead.
