Houston Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs wanted to fight the entire Green Bay Packers roster before being stopped by staff members from both teams, as well as an official, on Sunday.
The fight began between Diggs and Jaire Alexander, where the Texans star was bad-mouthing the Packers cornerback near the Green Bay bench.
His Green Bay defensive teammate, Keisean Nixon, wasn’t very nice about something Diggs said, and he also confronted him.
Two Packers quickly became four wanting to talk to Diggs, which quickly grew to more than a dozen Green Bay players.
Finally, a staff member from each team and a referee can move Diggs away from the Packers bench and calm the situation.

The Green Bay squad didn’t take the taunting very well and tried to get in Diggs’ face.
There was no appearance from any of Diggs’ teammates to help him, with enough time to get back and forth.
Houston knows that incidents of mass confrontation likely would have cost them fines or expulsions. Having Diggs fight that battle alone, regardless of how he started, is a bad look.
Diggs finished the game with five catches for 23 yards as the Packers’ defense primarily stymied the Texans’ passing attack in the 24–22 victory.
Texans quarterback CJ Stroud only finished the game with 86 passing yards, his lowest total of the season by over 100 yards.
Diggs has had a reputation as a hothead since his days in Minnesota and did nothing to dispel the rumor in Buffalo.
The now Texan did nothing to counteract that trend on Sunday either.
