New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs faced criticism from fans after a quiet showing against the New Orleans Saints.

The lack of production sparked speculation online, with some questioning whether he is dealing with an injury.
One frustrated fan wrote on X, "Is Stefon Diggs even playing. Why do I see 0 reception. Bro I hate gambling."
Another added, "Where is Stefon Diggs at? Not one catch so far in the first half cmon bro."
A third person wrote, "Has anybody seen Stefon Diggs? I’m looking for his receiving yards."
Another fan commented, "I really need someone to lie to Stefon Diggs and tell him he used to play for the Saints."
Another wrote, "Didn’t think stefon diggs would have 0 receptions or targets after the games hes coming off and the fact it’s 14-13 and he’s done nothing but cardio is insane."

Before the game, Diggs spoke to reporters about facing the Saints.
"It's super important we flip the page, considering the New Orleans Saints is a really good football team," Diggs told reporters. "Their record might not show it, but they’re very skillful up front and in the back end. To be honest, it might be a bigger test than last week, just as far as having success and being able to replicate that process or do it all over again and work equally as hard, attention to detail and focus. ...They've been in one-score games plenty of times, and I don't expect it to be no different."
