Stefon Diggs touchdown or not? Buffalo Bills vs Miami Dolphins referees trolled for no TD call in playoff game
Stefon Diggs, wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills, was denied a touchdown late in the second quarter vs the Miami Dolphins in the wild-card game on Sunday
Stefon Diggs, wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills, was denied a touchdown late in the second quarter vs the Miami Dolphins in the NFL wild-card game on Sunday. The two teams locked horns at the Highmark Stadium.
Buffalo led the game 20-17 at half-time.
“That’s a touchdown for Diggs, phenomenal awareness being able to get both feet down, don’t care what ruling was made 🏈,” a Twitter user said.
“The point is they should have reviewed it…they forced Buffalo to call their last time out, giving Miami another advantage in this game,” another one added.
“Who hires these refs, cause again, they clearly don’t know what a catch is. Diggs clearly was in bounds for the touchdown. This is ridiculous!!” a third one tweeted.
“NFL should have reviewed the @stefondiggs catch on the field, but too close to call. Wouldn’t have given @BuffaloBills a TD,” another user tweeted.
Despite being selected in the late rounds of the 2015 NFL, Diggs started for the Vikings as a full-time starter halfway through his rookie season. His career highlights include catching the “Minneapolis Miracle” pass during the 2017–18 NFL playoffs.
He and Adam Thielen became a potent receiving duo. Diggs signed a 5-year extension the following offseason, playing two more seasons in Minnesota before being dealt to Buffalo in 2020.
He broke Eric Moulds’ franchise record for receiving yards in a season and became the fastest receiver to reach 100 catches with his new team while playing for the Bills.
With 127 receptions and 1,535 receiving yards, Diggs had the most among all NFL receivers in the 2020 season.
