THE TAKE
There are some funny old videos of what Stefon Diggs’ teammates said about him, but if you want the real about the veteran receiver listen to @patriots All Pro @marcusjonesocho. It means more to Diggs. Now, more than ever. He’s accepted the role of leader and he isn’t acting. When it comes to the Captain’s “C”. It’s not just on him, it’s on him. He will play a big role in tomorrow’s match up with the Denver Broncos, & has done so all season long.

OUTCOME
PARTIALLY TRUEThe Patriots did beat the Broncos 10-7 in the AFC Championship Game on January 25, 2026, and Diggs did play a role — recording 5 receptions for only 17 yards, making him the 11th NFL player to reach 80 postseason receptions. However, he fell well short of the 50-yard threshold in the resolution criteria, making him largely a non-factor statistically. His post-game quotes showed veteran leadership and composure, and he was the only Patriots pass-catcher with more than 2 receptions, but the statistical bar set in the resolution criteria was not met.
