Stefon Diggs has shown his competitive spirit by unfollowing his brother and Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs on Instagram after moving to the same state following his trade to the Houston Texans.
Diggs joined the Buffalo Bills in 2020, after starting his career with the Minnesota Vikings in 2015. He was picked in the fifth round of the draft and has since become one of the top receivers in the NFL.
The 30-year-old has helped the Bills get to the playoffs for the last three years. However, they have not made it to the Super Bowl, even though they are often seen as one of the teams that could win. Now, Diggs is hoping to help Houston's star quarterback C. J. Stroud bring the Lombardi Trophy to Houston.

Now that he's in the same state as his brother Trevon, Diggs is taking the rivalry between Houston and Dallas very seriously. He stopped following his brother on Instagram and now only follows four accounts: Stroud, receiver Tank Dell, the official Texans account, and his own fashion label Liem Homme.

The Texans had a tough time in the 2023 season, finishing with just three wins, 13 losses and one draw. But they turned things around and finished with 10 wins and seven losses, which was enough to win the AFC South title.
Stroud played well and now has the records for most passing yards in a game by a rookie (470), most passes without an interception to start a career (191), and is tied for most passing touchdowns in a game by a rookie (5). He then helped the Texans win a playoff game against the Cleveland Browns.

Allen and Diggs had problems during the 2022 AFC Divisional Round loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Their issues were talked about a lot after the season ended, and Diggs - who caught almost as many passes in 2023 as he did in 2022 - didn't make as many yards last season as he did the year before. The combinations that Allen and Diggs appeared to not work as effectively.
But on Wednesday, Diggs said a heartfelt goodbye to Buffalo, his teammates at the Bills, and the fans on Instagram. He wrote: "I can't begin to express the amount of love and respect I have for the city of Buffalo. Four of the best years of my life, the city welcomed me with open arms. I'm forever grateful for you all and the @buffalobills organization!
"Something special was built over these years with some very special men, that will always have a place in my heart. Billsmafia, so many great memories created throughout the years. Those games were crazy because of you. Sadly good things come to an end until we meet again."
