Rating Eagles star A.J. Brown's mini-tantrum and other recent sideline blowups of recent memory
By Jake Beckman
Stefon Diggs asks Josh Allen for the ball and doesn't get it.
Much was made of this when it happened. There we were in the Divisional Round of the playoffs, a game the Buffalo Bills wound up losing to the Cincinnati Bengals by a 27-10 final score. During a late Bills drive, Josh Allen targeted Diggs once, and the ball was deflected.
As any good player would, Diggs wanted the ball with the game on the line. He wanted to place his team in a position to win but was never given that chance. As you might expect, he wasn't very happy, and a conversation was caught on camera.
Here's how we feel about this one. There's visible disappointment and frustration which is present in every sideline tantrum. Diggs raising his arms as if to say 'What the hell?' pushes this one over the top though. It also doesn't help that this came minutes before the close of the Bills' season.
