Week 5: Stefon Diggs, Buffalo Bills

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs has been named the DC Touchdown Club Pro Football Player of the Week for the second time this season after catching eight passes for 102 yards and one touchdown as the Bills routed the Pittsburgh Steelers, 38-3, on Sunday.

It was the third 100-yard game this season for Diggs, who starred at Good Counsel High School and the University of Maryland. He ranks among the NFL leaders with 39 catches (third in the league) for 508 yards (fourth) and five touchdown catches (first).

Diggs entered the NFL in 2015, drafted in the fifth round by the Minnesota Vikings. After five seasons in Minnesota, he was traded to Buffalo prior to the 2020 season and has been selected to the Pro Bowl each of the past two seasons.

The Bills are now 4-1 this season and leading the NFL in total offense (440 yards per game) and passing offense (yards per game).

“We’ve been trying to preach positive energy and pushing that into the universe,” Diggs said. “When good things happen, we’re happy. When bad things happen, it’s ‘Okay, we’ll figure it out and make a way.’ “
