Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs had a great way of smoothing things over with a reporter on Wednesday after they had a tense exchange on Sunday night.
Diggs smoothed things over with WFAA’s Mike Leslie after a tense confrontation following the Cowboys’ 30-24 loss to the San Francisco 49ers at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. Diggs took offense when Leslie asked about a lack of effort on one play.
On Wednesday, however, the two made up. Leslie shared that Diggs had apologized for the hallway exchange, and Leslie had apologized for his misreading of the play. Diggs explained that he had actually been slow-playing a potential cutback from George Kittle, but that emotions had gotten the best of him in the moment.
Diggs capped things off by gifting Leslie a can of Dee’s Nuts, a nod to his parting shot at Leslie.

Kudos to Diggs for dealing with this in a funny way. His emotional reaction was understandable, as the Cowboys lost a tough game on Sunday. Beefing with media members has become a bit too common this year, and it is probably a waste of time with the team sitting at 3-4.
