The Cowboys faced a tough loss against the San Francisco 49ers, marking their fourth consecutive defeat. After the game, emotions were running high in the Cowboys locker room. Pro Bowl cornerback Trevon Diggs got into a heated exchange with WFAA’s Mike Leslie over a tweet that criticized Diggs’ performance during a key play in the game.
Leslie’s tweet questioned Diggs’ hustle on a play where George Kittle made a big catch-and-run. Diggs, visibly upset, confronted Leslie, expressing his displeasure with the critique. Despite Leslie’s attempts to continue the conversation, Diggs stood his ground and eventually walked back into the locker room without offering further explanation.
Following the incident, Leslie took to social media to share his side of the story. He mentioned that Diggs approached him about the tweet, asserting that he didn’t understand football and couldn’t do what Diggs does on the field. Despite the disagreement, Leslie acknowledged that Diggs did not provide an explanation for his actions during the play.
As the media entered the locker room, Diggs remained upset and chose not to speak with reporters. The Cowboys will now look to bounce back from their recent losses as they face the Atlanta Falcons in Week 9. The upcoming game against the NFC South-leading Falcons will be an opportunity for the Cowboys to turn their season around and get back on track.
