All offseason, Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs downplayed the notion that he’s unhappy in Buffalo. Ten weeks into the 2023 season, however, his brother, Trevon, is urging him to leave the team altogether after the Bills’ Monday night loss to the Broncos.

His quarterback, Josh Allen, scored a go-ahead touchdown late in the contest, only for Bills’ penalties to then assist Denver’s frenetic…
