Diggs is definitely the guy

Monday night saw the Vikings finally put Randy Moss into the Vikings Ring of Honor. That event inspired Diggs to wear cleats that had Moss’ face on them and also to play like Moss himself.

  • Back in the day, the Vikings had the Randy Ratio and now the team might need the Diggs Devotion. There wasn’t a doubt in the minds of Vikings fans, but if there was any doubt around the country, well, there is no more after Diggs shined in the national spotlight on Monday Night Football.

    Diggs made some tough catches throughout the night and he made them look easy. There was a catch where Diggs was interfered with and I still don’t know how he caught the ball. On another play, Diggs was hit helmet-to-helmet and driven to the ground hard and somehow he held onto the boy. Held on well enough to get up and celebrate the hit while the Saints were being penalized for a personal foul.

    Diggs knew he was dominating, too. You could tell because in celebration of one of his two touchdowns, Diggs literally punted the ball into the stands. Someone went home with a lovely souvenir.

    Maybe it was the combination of Diggs playing great and Bradford finally throwing deep, but it sure felt like a full-blown coming out party for Diggs. We learned that Diggs is definitely the guy and definitely a stud.
