Stefon Diggs distanced himself from his brother’s harsh criticism of Josh Allen and the Bills

The Buffalo Bills have been embroiled in a firestorm all week.

After an epic Monday night collapse to the Denver Broncos, head coach Sean McDermott scapegoated fired former offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey. (Note: McDermott still doesn’t seem to really have concrete solutions for a team now teetering on the playoff edge.) The defeat also led to Stefon Diggs’ brother — Trevon Diggs, a Pro Bowl-caliber cornerback for the Dallas Cowboys — taking Josh Allen and co. to task for what he thinks is wasting his sibling’s superstar talents.

On Thursday, during a Bills press conference, Stefon addressed his brother’s harsh critique of Allen and Buffalo as its season starts spiraling down the drain. While Stefon seemed appreciative of Trevon having his back, he couldn’t have been more clear on his stance — everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but that doesn’t mean he agrees.

None of this kind of unfortunate drama appears to be new for Stefon. He clarified that he has never actually said anything publicly about personal dissatisfaction with the Bills. (Fact check: true.) He described comments like his brother’s and any people trying to create drama in Buffalo as putting words in his mouth.

Obviously, this is not something he appreciates:

The Bills have a lot of issues. They’re 5-5 and sitting outside the AFC postseason field in a year they were supposed to contend for the franchise’s first-ever Super Bowl championship. At the very least, it appears that leaders and faces of the team like Stefon aren’t reaping and sowing more discord behind the scenes.

To say otherwise would probably be an irresponsible assumption.

This was how Twitter reacted to Diggs' forceful press conference
