Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs has been fined a hefty sum of $13,659 for his unsportsmanlike conduct during a touchdown celebration in the team’s recent victory over the Miami Dolphins. The news was shared by Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, which highlighted Diggs’ costly tribute to former WWE superstar Stone Cold Steve Austin.
Following his second touchdown in the game, a remarkable 11-yard catch that propelled Buffalo to a 20-14 lead in the second quarter, Diggs decided to channel his inner wrestling fan. He sprinted towards the crowd, grabbed two beers, and with great gusto, slammed them together just like Stone Cold Steve Austin used to do in his prime. Little did Diggs know, this act of celebration would come with a hefty price tag.
While the financial blow may sting, it is important to note that Diggs had an exceptional performance throughout the game, leading Buffalo to a resounding 48-20 win over the previously undefeated Dolphins. His dominant outing included six catches for an impressive 120 yards and three touchdowns. This performance only solidifies his impact on the team, as he now boasts an impressive stat line of 31 receptions, 399 receiving yards, and four touchdowns for the season.
Looking ahead, Diggs and the 3-1 Bills will be heading to London to face the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. The game is scheduled for an early start at 9:30 a.m. ET. Despite the hefty fine, Diggs will surely bring his A-game to this international matchup as Buffalo looks to continue their winning streak.
In conclusion, while Diggs’ touchdown celebration may have cost him a significant amount of money, it cannot diminish the impact he had on the game nor the team’s victory. As fans, we should focus on the incredible performance he delivered and look forward to what he brings to the field in future games.
