What Stefon Diggs and Jaire Alexander said prior to game
“I don’t give an f—- who started it, I finished it.” The Bills receiver after his team defeated the Packers 27-17 on Sunday Night. “I won; don’t bother with moral triumphs. It’s not a one-on-one game, so I don’t deal with one-on-one conflicts. I received a dub, and it’s a team effort. There are no moral victories in the end, in my opinion,” he added.

Alexander presented an alternative viewpoint. When he was asked who started the conversation, he replied, “Nah, I don’t either.” “I finished it.”
Alexander continued, “I mean, I always thought he was a decent receiver, but there’s not much I can say about him.” He added that he was “just keeping it real” and warned Diggs not to mess with him when they emerged from the tunnel before the game, referring to the receiver as “a little boy.”
