Diggs’s response was swift and unapologetic: “You can’t do anything that I do. Stay in your lane, buddy. Stop playing with me bro.”
Despite the reporter’s attempt to engage in a dialogue, Diggs reiterated his disbelief: “From that whole play, that is what you got from that?” before walking away, only to drop the infamous line again: “Talk to deez nuts.”
This incident highlights the rising tensions in the Cowboys’ camp, as they struggle in the NFC East with the Washington Commanders leading the division at 6-2, followed closely by the Philadelphia Eagles at 5-2.
The Cowboys now find themselves three games behind the Commanders and on a worrying 0-4 streak against the 49ers since 2022. Diggs, who has battled back from a torn ACL, remains a top player in his position, despite the recent challenges.

While Diggs may have had a rough night, his talent and competitive spirit continue to make him a key player for Dallas moving forward, though the team will need to regroup quickly if they hope to turn their season around.
