It's not ideal to blame the referees for a loss or any bad call/no-call, but their work in the Patriots' game this week was so egregious that even NFL analysts and insiders were commenting on it. By the end of the game, they had taken away over 100 yards and a touchdown from the Patriots with a phantom call on Stefon Diggs, who was not ready to let it go when speaking to reporters.

The New England Patriots played the Buffalo Bills on Sunday Night Football in Week 5, and one thing was immediately clear from the start of the game: Stefon Diggs wasn't going to let the Patriots lose the game. The star receiver, who played four seasons with the Bills, was determined to win in his return to Buffalo, and he did just that, catching 10 passes for 146 yards, as New England won 23-20.

Take it with a grain of salt, obviously, having success is week-to-week ... being comfortable is a state of mind. I've still got to study, I've still got to flip the pages, I've still got to grind.

"I'm real familiar with the staff, familiar with the guys there. The guys that I've maintained a relationship with, I'm looking forward to seeing them play. It's going to be a little bit emotional. I try to keep the main thing the main thing, but it's my first time back there. It's going to be a hell of an atmosphere. I was a part of that for a long time. I played there before I got there. So, I'm excited."

Everyone looks so comfortable,

It was crucial that the new regime in New England addressed the group this offseason to help put Drake Maye in good position to succeed in his second year, which they appear to have accomplished to a certain degree. Stefon Diggs has been a great addition, along with the rise of Kayshon Boutte, both of whom have had back-to-back 100-yard games over the last two weeks.

Stefon Diggs tore his ACL last October while he was with the Houston Texans and made a remarkable recovery, being fully cleared in less than nine months.
