Trevon Diggs’ Heated Exchange with Reporter After Cowboys’ Loss to 49ers
After the Dallas Cowboys suffered a tough 30-24 defeat against the San Francisco 49ers in a Sunday Night Football showdown, cornerback Trevon Diggs had a tense confrontation with a reporter that quickly went viral.
Following the game, Diggs approached Mike Leslie, a local TV anchor from WFAA in Dallas, in the locker room.
The confrontation stemmed from a critical comment Leslie had made about Diggs’ performance during a key play involving 49ers tight end George Kittle.
While Leslie’s remarks didn’t directly accuse Diggs of not trying, they implied a lack of effort at a crucial moment in the game, which Diggs found to be unfair.
Newy Scruggs shared a video of the exchange, capturing the intensity of the interaction.
As he was leaving, Diggs expressed his frustration to Leslie, saying, “You don’t know football. You can’t do nothing that I do.” He further told Leslie to “stay in your lane” and not question his on-field abilities.
When Leslie tried to continue the discussion, Diggs cut him off with a blunt retort, “Talk about deez nuts.”
The Cowboys’ defense had initially kept the 49ers to just six points in the first half, but as the 49ers’ offense gained momentum in the second half, frustration grew among the players.
Many fans and analysts noted that Diggs’ reaction might not have been the best way to handle the media’s scrutiny.
