Any time the Buffalo Bills beat the New England Patriots, it is a good day. While they haven’t been able to do that much on the field, the trade for Stefon Diggs helped keep the star wide receiver from New England.

According to Albert Breer of The MMQB, the Bills were competing with multiple teams for Diggs including the New England Patriots.

The Patriots were another team that talked to the Vikings about Stefon Diggs on Monday. The Redskins had interest, too, but their draft pick situation (they weren't going to trade the second overall pick, and have no second-rounder) made it tough.

So Buffalo it is.

This is undoubtedly a win for the Bills because not only do they have Diggs on their side but they have now avoided having to play Diggs twice a year.
