Is Taye Diggs related to Stefon Diggs? Bills WR and famous actor discussed ahead of Wild Card weekend

Stefon Diggs will be in action later on Sunday for the Buffalo Bills when they take on the Miami Dolphins in the Wild Card round of the playoffs. The receiver is expected to play a crucial role for the Bills in the matchup.

However, ahead of the postseason matchup, NFL fans have been curious to learn whether Stefon Diggs is related to actor Taye Diggs. The two share the same surname but are otherwise not connected.

Stefon was born in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The NFL star has two brothers named Trevon and Darez.

Taye Diggs was born in Newark, New Jersey, and has four siblings. The stage and film actor has three brothers named Gabriel, Michael, and Christian, and his sister's name is Shalom.

While the confusion stems from their last names, Stefon and Taye Diggs are not related in any way.

NFL Playoffs: Bills vs Dolphins prediction

The Bills finished the AFC East with a 13-4 record and clinched the divisional title. Meanwhile, the Dolphins took second place in the division with a 10-7 record.

Buffalo are currently on an incredible seven-game win streak heading into the playoffs. The Dolphins also won their final regular-season game against the New York Jets.

The Bills are clear favorites heading into this contest, especially with Josh Allen leading their offense. Moreover, the Dolphins will not have their starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa for this matchup.

On paper it looks like Miami don't have a chance. Bookmakers and analysts alike are all predicting a Buffalo landslide. While this seems to be the most likely scenario, you just never know in the playoffs.

On a frozen football pitch, an offense can stutter and if Miami can keep the scoring low, there is a chance they could scrape it. Turnovers and penalties have to be kept to a minimum in order for the Dolphins to have a realistic shot.
