'It's Frustrating!' Can Cowboys Continue Stop Diggs?

How do you stop Stefon Diggs? In the last four games, have NFL defenses created a blueprint that the Dallas Cowboys can borrow in Sunday's key NFL Week 15 matchup? hasn’t been bashful about his lack of catches in recent games.

Diggs - arguably the Buffalo Bills' best player - has in the last four games only caught 17 passes for 159 yards and one touchdown. The last time Diggs - who had over 100 receiving yards in five of the Bills’ first six games - experienced a 100-yard game? Oct. 15.

“It's frustrating,” Diggs said. “I gotta do a lot of things to get open, and then a lot of things gotta go right to get the ball, so for me when it doesn't happen, of course, I'm frustrated.''

A "frustrated'' Diggs could be a problem for Dallas, especially if Bills QB Josh Allen figures out a way to feed him targets. The Cowboys do not have Trevon Diggs, Stefon's brother, available; he's out for the year due to injury. But Dallas is getting a high level of play from Stephon Gilmore and DaRon Bland.

Will that be enough?

Diggs has 87 catches for 993 yards and eight touchdowns this season; he's likely destined for yet another Pro Bowl. Of course, that's not the "bowl'' he and the Bills are shooting for, as the three-time defending AFC East champs are trying to build off their existing 7-6 record ... and would love to do that against the 10-3 Cowboys.

It is worth noting: A "frustrated'' Diggs can also be a problem for the Bills, too. Allen has said that Diggs' emotional sideline outbursts feed the energy of the team.

That's a smart spin. But even Diggs himself will tiptoe closer to a truth ...

"Y'all know how much of a competitor I am,'' he said. "I like to play at a high level and I always want it to happen. And even if it doesn't when it doesn't materialize, I definitely get a little discouraged at a moment, but then I shake gotta shake back because I know my team still needs me.”

Diggs said foes are taking him away with double-teams and the like. And it's worked. The Bills offense can be high-flying; Allen and company scored over 37 points in three straight games from Weeks 2 through 4 ... and Buffalo has scored over 31 points in two of its last three games with Joe Brady as the just-promoted offensive coordinator.

Even still, Diggs, was targeted just 11 times in the back-to-back games.

Said Diggs said. "We've played some good teams, especially good defenses. I always anticipate seeing the best corner on the other side, and sometimes, even with the best corner, I get doubled. When it comes to respect, I align with respect. I feel like I'm one of the best receivers, if not the best receiver (in the NFL).''

The Cowboys feel the same way, and hope to handle Stefon Diggs in a way that keeps him "frustrated'' for at least one more Sunday.
