Bills' Josh Allen defends Stefon Diggs' sideline behavior - ESPN

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen said he's «tired of hearing all this nonsense from people» regarding teammate Stefon Diggs' emotions after a clip of the receiver throwing a tablet on the sideline went viral.

The televised incident happened with 5:40 remaining in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Diggs sat on the bench and slammed the tablet down before throwing it on the ground as he stood up.

«He's a competitor; he's a fiery competitor. I'm tired of hearing all this nonsense from people,» Allen said. «There's a lot of guys in the league that have that same fire that don't get talked about. He's a lot of our juice on the sideline, making sure the offense is staying up and as energized as possible and we feed off of that.»

Allen on Wednesday said Diggs, at that moment when he slammed the tablet, was mad at himself for running a wrong release on a route.

«He's a captain for a reason,» Allen said. «When you look at the sidelines of guys that are talking and making sure everybody's ready to go, for better or worse, he's up in guys' faces and he's making sure we have as much juice as we need — and he supplies that to our offense, especially in times we need it. He doesn't get the burn he deserves there. Frankly, it kind of ticks me off when people want to say stuff about him, but we'll keep that all internal here.»

The frustration came amidst the Bills' second-lowest scoring performance of the season (20 points) and the offense coming out of halftime with consecutive drives ending in punts, including the drive just before the clip was shown that started with a 48-yard pass to Diggs but ended three plays later with no more yards gained.
