VIDEO: Stefon Diggs Chucks Helmet Midway Through Vikings-Saints Likely Due to Lack of Targets
By Jerry Trotta
We get that competitors of the highest extreme demand production, but sometimes you have to concede individual accolades for the benefit of the team -- which is exactly what makes Stefon Diggs' antics during the Vikings' Wild Card bout with the Saints inexcusable. Minnesota's star wideout was seen heaving his helmet upon approaching the sidelines, likely due to the fact that he hasn't been playing much of a role in the Vikings' success thus far in New Orleans.
This is as petulant as it gets from the Maryland product. Sure, he probably didn't expect to have just one reception for nine yards through almost three quarters of play, but come on man. Your team is out here dominating New Orleans on the road.
There's no need to unleash a temper tantrum.
Well, Diggs did anything but swallow his pride as he was involved in a heated verbal exchange with an official about a non-call moments later.
These simply are not good looks for No.14, and Mike Zimmer had better advise him to turn it down a notch before he commits a costly penalty.
