The Facts: Diggs, a second-year draft steal, has accomplished something no one else ever has done. For the first time, a player has caught 13 or more passes in back-to-back weeks.
Diehards Line:
Last week against the Lions, Diggs caught 13 passes for only 80 yards. On Sunday, he more than doubled the yardage output, catching 13 for 164. “I want to win for my family and for this team,” Diggs told reporters after the 26-20 loss at Washington. “I want to do everything I can. Just back to the drawing board. Continue to scrap and continue to work hard. You can tell it hurt a little bit.” As PFT suggests, if the Vikings want to stop the pain, they need to keep feeding the ball to Diggs. And more of the players on both sides of the ball need to start performing like he does.
