Stefon Diggs is as competitive as any player in the NFL.
The former Maryland star has now come up short with the Bills in the playoffs for the 3rd straight season, and frustration is obviously setting in. The star WR totaled just 4 catches for 35 yards Sunday and was seen letting his frustrations with QB Josh Allen fly on the sideline earlier in the game.

His frustrations continued postgame. He famously stayed after and watched as Kansas City celebrated their win in the Divisional Round, but this time around he darted off the field soon after the final horn.
Per a report from The Athletics’ Joe Buscaglia, Diggs gathered his things and went to leave the locker room before coaches arrived. Practice squad RB Duke Johnson stopped Diggs, who left a few minutes after.
Bills WR Stefon Diggs darted out of the locker room with all his stuff before some of the Bills coaches were even down to the tunnel area. Practice squad RB Duke Johnson stopped Diggs before he left the stadium and brought him back to the locker room. He left a few minutes later.

Think what you want about this, but it’s obvious Diggs is sick of losing. Bills fans would share the same sentiment.
With the win, Cincinnati will move on to face Kansas City in the AFC Championship game.
