Tempers flared between Houston Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs and the Green Bay Packers even before kickoff. The 5-1 Texans are taking on the 4-2 Packers in Week 7 action. Besides the team rivalry, there is another one that has been playing out for quite some time now.
Stefon Diggs doesn't like the Packers, and he and Packers wideout Jaire Alexander have had multiple trash-talking episodes. However, things came to a head during the pregame warmups.
A video was shared on social media where Diggs was up against several Packers players, including Keison Mixon. The two shoved each other while pointing fingers and shouting.
After a swarm of Packers players gathered to support their wideout, Diggs had to be physically restrained by referees; however, he continued to have a fiery exchange with Alexander and his teammates. Mixon was also pulled away by the referees.
This is not the first time that Diggs was involved in a pregame incident. In 2022, he and Alexander walked out of the tunnel together while jawing back and forth.
With such a buildup to the game, will Steffon Diggs be able to walk the talk and help the Texans win another game?
