Pressure? No. Performance? Yes.
Stefon Diggs caught three of his seven passes on third downs in Sunday’s 16-10 Vikings win against the Chiefs. The fifth-round pick said he didn’t feel pressure on any of the receptions that resulted in gains of 16, 14 and 30.
“Third down is my favorite down. It’s when you’ve got to come alive, especially for your quarterback,” Diggs said. “If first and second down don’t go right, you’ve got another down to look forward to, but I like third down.”
Diggs’ route running has impressed teammates, including veterans Captain Munnerlyn and Mike Wallace.
