New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs said on Wednesday that he’s glad the Buffalo Bills are favored to beat his team in Week 15.
Diggs explained why he believes the Patriots are underdogs vs. the Bills, despite the former playing at home, being tied for the NFL’s best record and riding a 10-game winning streak.
“WR Stefon Diggs on Patriots as underdogs: ‘Good,'” ESPN’s Mike Reiss posted on Bluesky. “Diggs says the Patriots play with an edge, in part because of how the roster has been assembled. ‘This team is full of (players) that were castoffs, people who were cut or that didn’t necessarily get the opportunity,’ he says.”
Even if Buffalo were to defeat New England on Sunday, Diggs and company could still clinch the team’s first playoff berth in four years. If the Patriots win though, the group would wrap up their first AFC East title in six seasons.

The four-time Pro Bowler hasn’t played in a postseason contest since the end of the 2023 season with the Bills, after suffering a torn ACL last October and missing both of the Houston Texans’ playoff tilts over the winter.
Diggs has had a huge debut campaign with New England, leading the team in targets (79), receptions (64) and receiving yards (705).
