WATCH: “You expect him to catch” – Stefon Diggs’ crucial drop against Patriots garners mixed reactions from fans on social media
The Buffalo Bills visited their division rival New England Patriots at the Gillette Stadium on Sunday. It was a game between two teams on the opposite spectrum, as the Bills are one of the Super Bowl favorites, whereas the Pats came into the game with five losses from six games.
The Bills have one of the best offenses in the NFL this season. The Patriots, on the other hand, have a very stingy defense. It was supposed to be a Bills blowout loss, instead, the Patriots defeated their rivals by four points.
The Bills had a chance to win the game late in the fourth quarter. They had the ball last, with superstar QB Josh Allen leading the drive. The team also has star WR Stefon Diggs, who had a chance to catch a Hail Mary pass to win the game. However, the receiver dropped the pass, and that led to the Patriots winning the game.
A video posted on Twitter by UrgentSports. shows the drop catch from Diggs. It was a tough one, but one expects a player of Diggs’ caliber to catch a pass like that. With that loss, the Bills have now dropped to 4-3. They are still in a good position to make the playoffs this season, but they will have to avoid losses like these. Diggs finished the game with six receptions for 58 yards and one touchdown, but dropped the most important pass of the game.
The Patriots, on the other hand, have won their second game of the season after losing five of the first six games. They will hope to carry this winning momentum into their next game against the Miami Dolphins. The Bills will play their next game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Buffalo Bills lost to the New England Patriots on Sunday and dropped to 4-3 through seven weeks of the 2023 NFL season. The Bills had a great chance of winning the game in the last seconds of the game. However, WR1 of the Bills, Stefon Diggs dropped a deep pass that ended the game with a Pats win.
Fans reacted to the play on X. Diggs finished the game with six receptions for 58 yards and one score. Although he had a great overall game, Diggs had a chance to win the game but dropped the pass. Here are some of the reactions to the drop.
The Dawson Knox drop was awful, and I'm sure that will be talked about all week.
ALSO, the Stefon Diggs drop on the penultimate play of the game was bad. That's a ball you expect him to catch.

Also the stefon diggs dropped TD, just a bad performance by everyone, Allen had some bad throws but he still got us to a point where we could've won

Asked Stefon Diggs if he’d be taking postgame. He declined interview. Tough vibes in the locker room after the Bills’ loss to the Patriots.

Stefon Diggs gives the #Bills life after Josh Allen stares down a ton of pressure to deliver a strike.

No dog in the fight, but as a football fan, I appreciate how legitimately pissed @stefondiggs gets after a loss. Dude detests losing.
