Heartbreaking farewell: The San Francisco 49ers bids farewell to a top wide receiver following a $75.5 million blockbuster trade proposal by…
Some are blaming cornerback Trevon Diggs for the Dallas Cowboys’ defense gaps in a roller-coaster 30-24 defeat to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football. Incredibly, Dallas avoided a blowout and cut the margin to six in the fourth quarter when Dak Prescott connected with CeeDee Lamb on a 20-yard touchdown throw. A final defensive stop gave the Cowboys another scoring chance, but they threw four straight incompletions after the late touchdown.
The 49ers took the ball back and dominated time of possession with important scrambles and extended drives that kept Prescott and the Dallas offense off the field in the final minutes. Dallas’ rushing game was limited to 56 yards, forcing Prescott to handle the weight and increasing passing pressure. Dallas’ scoring was hampered by interceptions and a stifled ground game. San Francisco’s quarterback Brock Purdy surprised with his offense contributions.
Purdy, known for his passing, also ran for 56 yards, matching the Cowboys’ team total. His movement gave San Francisco an edge, exposing Cowboys defensive weaknesses and extending vital drives when Dallas seemed close to a stop. But there were other times with Dallas couldn’t get that “stop,” including occasions when star cornerback Diggs – known as a ballhawk but not necessarily as a tackler – finds himself accused of being unenthusiastic about that latter task. Indeed, it seems immediately after the game, Diggs took to Twitter to check out what was being said about him, found a tweet from WFAA-TV reporter Mike Leslie, and in a wild scene, came marching out of the locker room seeking verbal vengeance. “What is Trevon Diggs doing on this play?” Leslie wrote, referencing a play in which 49ers tight end George Kittle beats Diggs down the sideline, finishing just short of the end zone. In the video now going viral, Diggs barks, “That’s what you took from that? That’s what you took from the play? Football is unfamiliar to you. There’s nothing you can do like I do. You can’t remain idle. Maintain your lane, friend. Leslie replied: “Just inquiring, Trevon. I appreciate your response. … Diggs said, “Talk about deez (bleeps).” Related: Dak Sends Bold 1-Word Message To Cowboys On ‘Distractions’ Questioning a player’s effort is sensitive. The player racing to social media to check his reviews, then confronting the reporter? A bit too… delicate. Diggs was furious and unavailable for comment in the postgame locker room.
Dallas failed to respond to San Francisco’s tempo on both sides of the ball, turning the ball over on downs in the waning minutes. As the season progresses, the Cowboys must find ways to fill defensive vulnerabilities, notably in containing mobile quarterbacks and possibly in effort. The Cowboys are 3-4 and third in the NFC East, which is uncomfortable.
