Should the refs have reviewed this Stefon Diggs catch?
In case you haven’t heard, Stefon Diggs is pretty good at catching a football. He did that quite a bit in the first half of the Buffalo Bills’ Wild Card game against the Miami Dolphins: Diggs entered the locker room with seven grabs for 114 yards, gaining more yards by himself than the Dolphins had as a team (111).
His most spectacular play of the first two quarters, however, might have been one that actually did not count.

The bettor made the wager when Los Angeles was up 27–0 in the second quarter.
It seemed obvious during the second quarter of Saturday night’s Chargers–Jaguars game that Los Angeles was on its way to a landslide victory. After all, the Chargers led 27-0 and seemed to have all the momentum in the world.
One bettor was especially confident in the Chargers to hang on and win the wild-card game, reportedly betting $1.4 million on an in-game money line through DraftKings Sportsbook. Because the Chargers led by 27 at the time, the payout only would’ve been $11,200—a mere 0.

Sean McDermott and the Bills were puzzled why officials think it was worth a replay review.

The Vikings have heard they’re not as good as their record. They get a chance to prove otherwise at home against the upset-minded Giants.

Carolina is the fourth team to receive permission.
The Panthers have been granted permission to interview former Saints head coach Sean Payton, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports. They are the fourth team to get the chance to speak with Payton, joining the Broncos, Cardinals and Texans, but no team can officially interview him until Tuesday.
Carolina is very familiar with the veteran coach, as Payton spent 15 years coaching against the Panthers while with New Orleans. The former Super Bowl winner stepped away from coaching last year but appears ready to rejoin the NFL.

The Buffalo rookie gifted the young girl a custom pair of shoes.
Bills cornerback Kaiir Elam made sure to make time for one of his biggest fans ahead of the Bills–Dolphins wild-card game on Sunday: 9-year-old Sophia Benintende.
Benintende is battling a form of cancer called sarcoma, and her favorite player is the rookie Elam. She’s met the cornerback before, but Sunday’s game was extra special. 
In a video posted by the Bills, Elam hugged Benintende and then presented her with custom shoes decorated in Bills colors. Elam signed the shoes before giving them back to Benintende.
