Stefon Diggs Lauds QB Josh Allen’s Performance in Victory

Stefon Diggs shed light on the contributions of team captains and playmakers, with a specific mention of Josh Allen. Diggs explained how Allen while striving to stay composed during matches, sometimes needs encouragement to inject more enthusiasm.

Witnessing Josh Allen’s strong decision-making and performance acts as a source of motivation for Diggs. He highlighted the quarterbacks’ leadership qualities. Stefon said after the game:

“Josh would come to me. He tries to say, like, “I want to just stay right here,” and I tell him like, “I need a little bit of juice out of you.” It sometimes gets me going a little bit when I see my quarterback going, but I ratted him making good decisions and balling out there, you know, juiced up.”

Josh Allen commented on the victory, acknowledging that it might not have been a picturesque win but emphasizing that it holds the same value. He credited the defense for their role in securing and admitted to a missed opportunity on a key play. John Allen pointed out the need for offensive improvement but expressed acceptance of the win, despite the nail-biting conclusion.

“I mean, it’s an ugly win but it counts the same as a pretty win. Our defense, man, they bailed us out. Coach put the ball in my hands there on that third down, I missed Dawson (Knox). We gotta have those. Offensively, we gotta be better. We’ll take the win, we hate that it came down to that last play but we’ll take the win.”
