There has been a significant amount of speculation about a fracture in the relationship between Buffalo Bills receiver Stefon Diggs and quarterback Josh Allen.
There has been a significant amount of speculation about a fracture in the relationship between Buffalo Bills receiver Stefon Diggs and quarterback Josh Allen.
During an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show earlier this week, ESPN's Robert Griffin III offered his take on the situation,
saying he believes the root of the issue is based on Buffalo's lackluster showing in its 27-10 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in the divisional round of the AFC playoffs.
Despite leading the Bills with 10 targets that game, Diggs finished with only four catches for 35 yards.
Late in the contest, he was seen on the sidelines yelling at Allen,
and he left the locker room without speaking to reporters after the game.
"So I've talked with people close to the situation, and really what it boils down to is in that last game against the Bengals,
Diggs was the most targeted receiver in that game. ... But when they were down 17,
they had a 10-play drive that ended in a turnover on downs,
and Diggs only got one ball thrown his way. So you would think that a player of Diggs' caliber, with the relationship that he has with Josh Allen, in those moments,
he would look to him more often, more often. And that didn't happen.
I think that was something that why we saw Diggs hold his hands up looking at Josh on the sideline when they had the little tiff that was shown on TV."
