Stefon Diggs’ tweets after the Bengals’ loss had NFL fans convinced he was reveling in Eli Apple’s demise

The Cincinnati Bengals’ Eli Apple has established himself as a villain to many playmakers around the NFL. Some of his most recent antics involved pestering the Buffalo Bills’ Stefon Diggs after Apple’s Bengals eliminated Buffalo in the divisional round.

With Cincinnati falling short of a Super Bowl 57 berth after talking so much trash about the Kansas City Chiefs, it seems apparent Diggs hasn’t forgotten Apple’s barbs.

The morning after the Bengals’ quest for a Lombardi Trophy officially ended, Diggs fired off a rather curious set of tweets. While he never directly mentions Apple or the Bengals, it’s hard not to think that was what Diggs had on his mind.

Let’s connect the dots, shall we?

I mean, a video of rapper Drake slowly cackling to himself? What on Earth could that be referring to the day after Apple’s team exited the postseason?

Hmm. Talking about how the internet is “undefeated?” Might Diggs be reading roasts of Apple? Might he just be referring to their testy back-and-forth?

Alright, while Diggs isn’t saying it outright, he’s pretty clearly referring to Apple’s penchant for not “minding his business.”

And one final joyous message with the “heart-hands” emoji — a unifying Bills symbol that became famous in the wake of Damar Hamlin’s scary collapse from cardiac arrest.

Oh yeah, Diggs was feeling himself Monday. I think it’s more than fair to say his joy was likely about the Bengals and Apple.
