Digging it: Bills unveil new wrinkle in opening against Jets

Associated Press  

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — The day Stefon Diggs has been waiting for since March has finally arrived. “It’s time for a new beginning,” Diggs tweeted on March 16, a day before Buffalo a cquired the sixth-year player in a trade with Minnesota. “I would say since I got traded, I haven’t stopped thinking about playing ball,” Diggs said as Buffalo prepares to open the season by hosting the New York Jets on Sunday. “I know that there’s a lot of hungry guys that want to go out there and just prove a lot of people wrong.” SHUFFLE UP FRONT New York is the fourth NFL team since the 2010 season to start five different players on the O-line in Week 1 from the five who started the opener the previous year. I don’t think he knows or realizes all the things he does.” Gore finished with a career-low 599 yards rushing, and eventually lost playing time to rookie Devin Singletary last year.
