Cowboys' Trevon Diggs has contentious argument with reporter after loss to 49ers


The Dallas Cowboys have one of the worst defenses in American football, and that notion was underscored Sunday when they lost to the San Francisco 49ers 30-24, allowing 21 of those points in the third quarter.

Cowboys defensive back Trevon Diggs was among those frustrated with his and his team's play. Diggs lashed out at WFAA's Mike Leslie after the game. Leslie wondered during the game what Diggs was doing when Brock Purdy found George Kittle for a long play.

“From all that work, that's what you got?” Diggs asked out loud in the tunnel. “That's what you got from that? From all that work, that's what you got from that.”

Leslie responded, “We can talk more about that.”

Diggs opened the locker room door and responded, “We can talk crazy.”

Leslie wrote about the moment on X and said she had no comment on “Deez Nuts.”
