The Vikings rookie receiver used his quickness to get open and cross up Chiefs defenders in the first quarter, reeling in four catches for 81 yards in the opening stanza of his first career start.
Clear separation led to gains of 16, 31, 14 and 20 out of the gate. Diggs also came through in the clutch by keeping alive the play and finding an opening in the defense as Teddy Bridgewater moved around the pocket.
“When you’re running a route, if the initial route isn’t open, if the quarterback is still on his feet, the play is still going on, so you try to find something to open lanes for him,” Diggs said.
