Stefon Diggs made a Buffalo Bills fan’s dream come true as they played catch on the field ahead of his team’s match against the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving.
The NFL tradition of playing games on Thanksgiving is one that stretches back all the way to the league’s inception in 1920. The Thanksgiving Day games usually include one game hosted by the Detroit Lions (since 1934) and one hosted by the Dallas Cowboys (since 1966).
Ahead of the Lions’ match with the Bills - who are tipped to win the Super Bowl by many - Diggs spotted a sign in the Bills fan section of Detroit’s stadium which read ‘All I want for Christmas is to play catch with Stefon Diggs’. The All-Pro receiver usually makes a circle around the perimeter of the field to play catch with fans in the stands, but he decided to go one better on Thursday.
