Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs has once again set tongues wagging in the NFL world after making a bold joke about the New England Patriots during training camp. The four-time Pro Bowler couldn't resist poking fun at the Patriots' recent injury woes, specifically referencing ACL tears.

During a lighthearted moment at Bills camp, Diggs was heard shouting "ACL!" in the direction of Patriots players, a clear reference to New England's recent string of knee injuries. The comment quickly went viral on social media, with fans divided over whether it was harmless banter or poor sportsmanship.
Patriots' Injury Woes Continue
The Patriots have indeed suffered multiple ACL injuries in recent seasons, including to key players like Marcus Jones and Christian Gonzalez. Diggs' remark comes at a sensitive time for New England as they look to bounce back from a disappointing 4-13 season.
Social Media Erupts
Fans took to Twitter and Instagram to debate Diggs' comments, with some praising his competitive fire while others called it classless. One fan tweeted: "Diggs just reignited the Bills-Pats rivalry with three letters!"
Training Camp Drama Heats Up
This incident adds another layer to what promises to be an intense AFC East battle this season. With the Bills and Patriots set to face off twice in the regular season, Diggs may have just provided bulletin board material for both locker rooms.
