Stefon Diggs has been eagerly anticipating his first game in front of Bills fans.
The occasion arrived Saturday for the AFC wild-card playoff game against the Indianapolis Colts.
Diggs, the NFL's leading receiver, wanted to get the fans in on the action and was playing catch with several fans in the 100 level near the end zone during warmups.
“I’ve been doing it since I got into the league as far as interacting with my fans, and the team I’m on I’ve been doing it," he said. "So, going to my new team, I’ve heard nothing but good things about them so it’s only right to keep the tradition going.
"I wish it was some more kids out there. I only got some adults so I’ve got to work on my arm. It was definitely a hell of a time and I look forward to doing it again.”

Diggs got his first taste of Bills fans when the team was greeted by a large crowd at the airport after winning the AFC East title in Denver.
“That was dope. That was crazy,” Diggs said recently. “I’ve never experienced anything like that. Not in high school, college, definitely I’ve never experienced nothing like that. It was like damn near eye-opening. I’ve never had that many loyal fans around and I was safe – it felt like good energy.
"I can’t imagine what the stadium would be like now, so now I’m about to get greedy and try to have some stadium experience.”
