Stefon Diggs is soaking in AFC Championship loss as motivation (Video)

Stefon Diggs took in the Kansas City Chiefs celebrating going to the Super Bowl as motivation.
After a great first year in Orchard Park, Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs opted to stay out on the Arrowhead Stadium turf to watch the Kansas City Chiefs celebrate getting back to the Super Bowl.
Instead of going back into the visitor’s locker room to sulk or break stuff out of frustration, Diggs choosing to stay out on the field to watch Patrick Mahomes and company celebrate a game the Bills do not get to go to could be fuel for his fire next year. If “Mr. Minneapolis Miracle” is extra motivated after a tough AFC Championship loss next season, look out, the rest of the NFL.
Can the Bills get to Super Bowl 56 next season?
The good news for the Bills is their championship window is now. Of course, the AFC still runs through Kansas City, but Buffalo should once again be one of the best teams in their conference next year. The Bills should win the AFC East in back-to-back seasons, possibly vying for home-field advantage in the AFC playoffs. They are the biggest threat in the AFC to Kansas City now.
Will there be other teams in the AFC vying for their spot as second best? Oh absolutely, and do not be shocked if it is the Cleveland Browns who play the Chiefs in next year’s conference title bout. The Baltimore Ravens should be strong as well. Heck, there might even be a team that comes seemingly out of nowhere to our surprise and pleasure. For now, the AFC belongs to the Chiefs.
This will be a night Diggs will not forget for the rest of his life, obviously for not great reasons.
