All eyes were on Stefon Diggs today, as he took the field for the first time since his personal chef claimed he choked and slapped her over a salary dispute.
While the Patriots already clinched a playoff berth and their division going into Sunday, they still have something to play for. A win against the Dolphins could secure them the number one seed in the AFC, which is still up for grabs.

As we reported … the bombshell allegations against Stefon were laid out in an incident report which was released last week.
According to the narrative, the female employee first went to police on Dec. 16 and stated she was working as a private chef on Dec. 2 when Diggs entered her unlocked bedroom to discuss an ongoing text exchange between the two over money she believed she was owed.

The woman claimed during the conversation, Diggs became angry and smacked her across the face. She said she attempted to push him away, but he then “tried to choke her using the crook of his elbow around her neck.”
On Tuesday, it was announced Diggs was charged with felony strangulation or suffocation and misdemeanor assault and battery.
Attorney David Meier released a statement on the Diggs allegations … saying they “are unsubstantiated, uncorroborated, and were never investigated — because they did not occur.”
“The timing and motivation for making the allegations is crystal clear: they are the direct result of an employee-employer financial dispute that was not resolved to the employee’s satisfaction.”
“Stefon looks forward to establishing the truth in a court of law.”
