He only had four catches for 35 yards in Sunday’s game.
Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs wasn’t thrilled about the team’s performance in the 27–10 divisional loss to the Bengals on Sunday.
After the game, The Athletic’s Joe Buscaglia reported that Diggs “darted out” of Buffalo’s locker room before the coaches even reached the room. Diggs also apparently took all his stuff out of the locker room with him.
Buscaglia noted that practice squad running back Duke Johnson convinced Diggs to return to the locker room and the wide receiver stayed for a few more minutes.

You know your kicker is bad when your 65-year-old governor is ready to suit up for him. Especially when that governor is in a wheelchair.
Frustrated after Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher missed his fifth extra point in two games, Texas Governor Greg Abbott suggested even he could do that. Maher had one blocked Sunday against San Francisco.
I swear, I can kick as good as the Dallas Cowboys kicker.

Well played, Governor.
But I’m sure Abbott isn’t the only one who feels this way.
The Atlanta rapper has now played both sides of one of the NFL’s fiercest rivalries.
First, the Raiders floundered to a 6–11 season in 2022. Then, they benched quarterback Derek Carr, all but driving out the team’s longtime quarterback.
Now, Las Vegas has seemingly lost Lil Jon.
The relationship between the Raiders and the Atlanta rapper appeared airtight to begin 2022. On Jan. 9 of last year, Lil Jon dropped by Allegiant Stadium to perform at halftime in a game Las Vegas eventually won 35–32 over the Chargers.

Shortly after the Bengals iced a 27-10 divisional-round win over the Bills on Sunday, Patrick Mahomes rushed to Twitter to let the world know he’s already counting down the days to next week’s rematch of the 2022 conference title game.
Mahomes, who is currently nursing a high-ankle sprain, shared a tweet that included only a clock emoji, a simple yet not-so-subtle sign that the star quarterback is eagerly awaiting the Chiefs’s matchup against the Bengals on Jan. 29.
The Cowboys’ first score of the game came in the second quarter, but it was followed by another missed PAT by Brett Maher.
After missing four point-after attempts last week against Tampa Bay, Dallas kicker Brett Maher’s troubles continued Sunday against San Francisco, when his first extra-point try of the day was blocked by the 49ers in the second quarter.

The kicking woes continue for the Dallas Cowboys.
Dallas advanced to the Divisional Round with a victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but it was not a perfect performance. Kicker Brett Maher missed four extra points in the win, and that called into question how the Cowboys would handle the kicking position against the San Francisco 49ers.
Former Arkansas and NFL running back Peyton Hillis is home with his family.
Hillis had been hospitalized since Jan. 4 after saving his two children from drowning at a Florida beach. The incident damaged his lung and kidney, and he was in critical condition.
His girlfriend, Angela Cole, posted an update on Instagram on Friday with a photograph of the medical staff.
“God is so good!” she wrote. “The amount of love and gratitude I have for the incredible team that took care of Peyton is indescribable.
Carolina Hurricanes forward Sebastian Aho scored a pair of goals at the expense of New York Islanders defenseman Sebastian Aho.
Yes, you read that correctly.
The Metropolitan division-leading Hurricanes were on Long Island for a date with the Islanders. Late in the second period with the score knotted at two, Hurricanes winger Teuvo Teräväinen hurried up the boards, and fed a puck into the slot while Sebastian Aho — the Finnish-born Hurricanes one — crashed the net.
Buffalo had Joe Burrow and Cincinnati right where it wanted them. Then the reigning AFC champs and their confident quarterback flipped the script entirely.
