Is Stefon Diggs on his way out in Minnesota?
During the Vikings loss to the Bears, Diggs was visually frustrated on the sideline due to the offense’s struggles.
Mike Zimmer on frustration within the team, including Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs: "They always get frustrated. I mean, everybody's frustrated right now. When you lose and you don't play well enough to win, everybody's frustrated. Wasn't just those two guys."
