Diggs Scores Long-Overdue First Patriots Touchdown

Stefon Diggs scored his first touchdown as a Patriot in Week 8 on a one-yard pass from Drake Maye during New England’s 32-13 win over the Cleveland Browns, ending an eight-game touchdown drought. He celebrated by spiking the ball and later gave the first-touchdown ball to the Patriots’ training room in gratitude for their role in his recovery from offseason ACL surgery. Diggs had three catches for 14 yards in the game, leaving him with 42 catches for 470 yards and one touchdown on 49 targets through eight games. Coach Mike Vrabel and teammates praised Diggs’ energy, competitiveness and leadership, noting his positive influence on younger receivers and the wider offense. The end-zone celebration — including a Key & Peele–inspired sequence — and the locker-room reaction highlighted the team’s camaraderie as New England extended its winning streak.
