Stefon Diggs is constantly finding new ways to get his name into the record books.
On Sunday, Diggs broke a Minnesota Vikings franchise record for the month of November by hauling in 13 receptions. The performance was a personal-best for Diggs, and tied the most receptions by any player in a game this season.

Diggs' 13 catches totaled 80 yards. He also took a handoff for twelve yards in a 22-16 loss to Detroit.
Elsewhere, Eagles cornerback Nolan Carroll had a productive day shadowing standout wide receiver Odell Beckham.
Carroll finished with three tackles, a pass defensed, and an incredible interception in which he wrestled the football out of Beckham's hands. The Eagles fell to the Giants by a score of 28-23.
Still impressed by Nolan Carroll's INT yesterday. Per @PFF: He allowed only one catch vs. NYG and was targeted 3 times when covering OBJ. pic.twitter.com/5gOnJjAlQn
