Stefon Diggs 'thankful' after Josh Allen defends sideline behavior - ESPN

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs said that he is thankful to have a quarterback who supports him and emphasized that he does everything he can to be successful and be a good teammate.

«Obviously, I'm thankful to have a quarterback who has my back and someone who understands, somebody who is out there, somebody who plays the game of football,» Diggs said Thursday when asked about recent comments by quarterback Josh Allen. «For other people, it's hard for me to put it in words how much time and effort goes into football and how serious it is out there. When things aren't going right and you put a lot on yourself and you want more for yourself, you want more for your team.

»… I don't like bringing other people in it, but you see the same things maybe from other players at one point, and it draws different conclusions. It's easy to piggyback or kind of say X, Y, Z about me, but up to this point, I've been nothing but a leader. I've been consistent. I love ball. I do everything I can to have success on the football field and be a good teammate. So, whenever that's drawn into question, I feel like it's all right… let it go. I've been the same guy. I'm not going to change up who I am, how I am. I approach this game with love and respect and I'm going to continue to do so."

Diggs' comments came in his typical weekly news conference a day after Allen said that he is tired of «hearing all this nonsense from people» about the wide receiver's actions on the sideline.

The comments by both players came in response to a televised incident of Diggs slamming a tablet during the Bills' 25-20 loss to the Jaguars. The moment was broadcast with 5 minutes, 40 seconds remaining in the third quarter of Sunday's
