Overview

  • Diggs logged six receptions for 101 yards and a touchdown against the Jets, with his fourth catch reaching the 80-catch threshold that triggered a $500,000 incentive.
  • He finished the day needing 30 more receiving yards to reach 1,000 for the season, which would unlock another $500,000 bonus.
  • New England improved to 13-3 with a 42–10 win and closes at home against Miami, with the No. 1 AFC seed still possible if the Patriots win and the Chargers beat the Broncos.
  • Drake Maye said he was unaware his touchdown helped cash the incentive, joking that Diggs owes him dinner and emphasizing the team’s focus on wins over bonuses.
  • Around the victory, the Patriots placed receiver Mack Hollins on injured reserve and elevated defenders Jeremiah Pharms Jr., Kobee Minor, and Leonard Taylor III to the roster.
