Tensions were running high ahead of the Bills' "Sunday Night Football" clash with the Packers, and no two players exemplified that energy better than Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs and Packers defensive back Jaire Alexander.
The two standouts, who faced off against each other when Diggs played for the Vikings, got into a jawing match as the Packers were coming out for pregame warmups. A helmetless Diggs was a blue mark in a sea of Packers white, green and gold, skipping out of the end zone tunnel with the visitors to confront the Alexander.

Diggs had his usual productive game, catching six passes for 108 yards with a touchdown as he continued to show why he and Josh Allen are one of the most dangerous quarterback-receiving combinations in the game. And he wasn't afraid to tout his own personal win — outside of the Bills' 27-17 victory — when he got back to the locker room.

Diggs has had his fair share of beef with some of the best corners in the game. In Week 1 this season, he got into it with Rams All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey. He proceeded to torch his foe, racking up eight catches for 122 yards and a touchdown in a 31-10 Buffalo win. After his 53-yard score, Diggs taunted Ramsey, which earned him a $10,609 fine from the NFL.
