Prior to the Buffalo Bills-Green Bay Packers game on Sunday night, wide receiver Stefon Diggs and cornerback Jaire Alexander got into a verbal back-and-forth.

The Buffalo Bills returned from their bye week, and look to continue where they left off on Sunday Night Football, as they host the Green Bay Packers. Unlike the Bills, the Packers are heading in the wrong direction, losing their last three games entering Week 8. Does Green Bay have an upset win in them, even with their struggling offense.

Prior to the game, the tensions were high. As both the Bills and Packers jogged out of the tunnel at Highmark Stadium, video captured wide receiver Stefon Diggs and cornerback Jaire Alexander have a face-to-face verbal altercation.
