Diggs invokes "Super Freak" and has big game

Add ''Super Freak'' to the list of adjectives to describe Stefon Diggs' league-leading receiving numbers.

The Bills receiver gave a nod to Rick James by having the Buffalo-born funk artist's likeness painted on his cleats in a 44-34 win over Seattle on Nov. 8. It was a game in which Diggs finished with nine catches for 118 yards, his second-highest total in his first season with the Bills after being acquired in a trade from Minnesota in March.

Diggs comes up with a fresh design for his cleats for each game based on where it's played, and the James idea struck him after a trip to the dentist, of all places.
