Just a couple of weeks after been rumored in trade talks, Stefon Diggs is having himself a day in Week 6 against the Philadelphia Eagles. According to Courtney Cronin of ESPN, Diggs has three touchdowns in a game for the first time; plus he and Adam Thielen have four touchdowns together for the first time in a game.
This is Stefon Diggs' first career game with 3 TDs. Also the first time both Diggs and Adam Thielen have combined for 4 TDs in a game.

On Sunday, Diggs has caught seven passes for 167 yards and three touchdowns. On the other hand, Thielen has hauled in six passes for 57 yards and a touchdown. Regardless, it is surprising to see that this is the first game that both receivers have combined for four touchdowns in a game.
Last year, both Diggs and Thielen combined for 18 touchdowns for the Vikings. Even with all of those touchdowns being scored, they still didn't post a game where both caught two touchdown passes.
Throughout the season, both Vikings receivers have expressed their frustration with the passing offense. Prior to Sunday's contest versus the Eagles, Diggs had just 16 receptions, 253 yards, and one touchdown.
As a matter of fact, the big-play wideout caught his only touchdown of the season in Week 2 against the Green Bay Packers.
Coming into Week 6, most people were expecting Diggs to have a breakout game against a decimated Eagles secondary. From the beginning of the game, Philadelphia didn't have an answer for Minnesota's aerial attack between Kirk Cousins and Diggs.
After Sunday's game, it's safe to say that the trade rumors involving Diggs will continue to be silenced as long as he remains a focal point of the offense.
