Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs stayed behind in the aftermath of his team's disappointing 24-38 defeat to the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday.
As the rest of his team hurried back to the locker room to avoid witnessing the coronation of the back-to-back AFC champions, the 27-year-old WR hanged around to watch it all unravel. Here's the moment captured by ESPN's Dianna Russini:

No one would have faulted Stefon Diggs if he went with the rest of his teammates back to the locker room after the game. However, the All-Pro receiver will likely keep that mental image in his head as motivation for next season. Bills cornerback Josh Norman and head coach Sean McDermott were also reportedly on the sidelines at the time, but it was Diggs who stood out the most.
Led by the brilliance of QB Josh Allen, the Bills had one of the most exciting offenses in the NFL this season. They came extremely close to that coveted Super Bowl berth but stumbled upon a roadblock in the form of the reigning Super Bowl Champions.
Stefon Diggs, meanwhile, had a successful first season in Buffalo after four years with the Minnesota Vikings. He led the NFL in receptions and receiving yards this season.
