Stefon Diggs classily checked on a photographer after a rough collision on the sidelines

The NFL sidelines can be a sneaky dangerous place to conduct work. They’re often crowded with players getting pushed out of bounds at full speed. And in a place like Highmark Stadium, where there is very little room between the playing field and stands, it doesn’t leave any space to avoid a collision.

We saw that happen during Sunday’s AFC division round matchup between the Bills and Bengals.

In the third quarter, Stefon Diggs went sliding out the back of the end zone in an effort to reach a pass from Josh Allen. That slide, though, took Diggs barreling towards a photographer working on the sidelines. But keep an eye on how Diggs responded to the collision.

Instead of turning around and making his way back to the field, Diggs made sure to get the photographer’s attention and ask if she was OK. The photographer thankfully didn’t appear to be hurt despite the hard fall. Diggs actually needed some attention from the training staff after the fall, but he quickly returned to the game.

Still, it would have been so easy for Diggs to walk away from the fall without checking on the photographer. So, fans particularly appreciated that gesture.
