Trevon Diggs got into it with a reporter Sunday following the Dallas Cowboys’ 30-24 loss to the San Francisco 49ers at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.
Early in the third quarter of the contest, the 49ers led 13-10 and had 1st-and-10 at the Cowboys’ 47. Niners quarterback Brock Purdy found tight end George Kittle over the middle for a first down and a lot more. Kittle was eventually pushed out of bounds by Diggs, but not before the 49ers star got within four yards of a touchdown.
Cowboys broadcaster Mike Leslie called Diggs out on X for the cornerback’s lack of effort on the play.

Diggs, who evidently saw Leslie’s post on X, confronted him after the game right outside the Cowboys’ locker room.
“Out of that whole play, that’s what you took from that?” Diggs asked Leslie. “You don’t know football. You can’t do nothing that I do. You can’t guard there and do nothing. Stay in your lane, buddy. Stop playing with me, bro.”

When Leslie asked Diggs if they could “talk about it more,” the Cowboys player walked away and muttered that they could talk about “these nuts.”
Leslie made light of the situation with an X post shortly after.
“I do not have a comment about deez nuts,” Leslie wrote facetiously.

Diggs isn’t the first Cowboys All-Pro to get called out this season. CeeDee Lamb recently drew fire from a former Cowboys legend.
