49ers clearly got into star Cowboys defender's head, NSFW rant ensued

Trevon Diggs was clearly frustrated after the 49ers beat his Cowboys on Sunday night, and the cornerback went off on a Dallas-area reporter after the game.

For a few tense minutes in the fourth quarter, it appeared as if the San Francisco 49ers would blow yet another late-game lead this season, as the Dallas Cowboys were aggressively trying to overcome a double-digit deficit in Week 8 on Sunday Night Football.

Fortunately, the Niners managed to hold onto their lead, pulling off the 30-24 victory in prime time, thanks largely to a massive surge of their own in the third quarter after a notably unimpressive offensive performance in the first half.

San Francisco has had Dallas' number in recent years, including last season's 42-10 walloping in front of a national audience, too.

So, understandably, there are likely going to be plenty of frustrating moments from all over the Cowboys organization.

One of them just so happened to be from star cornerback Trevon Diggs.

During that third quarter, with Dallas leading 10-6, tight end George Kittle ripped off a massive catch-and-run that took him near the goal line, helping set up the 49ers' second-half explosion.

Diggs, No. 7 on the field, doesn't appear to be running full speed, which was called out on Twitter/X by WFAA reporter Mike Leslie.

Apparently, Diggs checked social media immediately after the game and then confronted Leslie deep in bowels of Levi's Stadium not long thereafter.

A notable NSFW verbal assault ensued:

The analysis from our Cowboys sister site, The Landry Hat, pretty much sums up the issue with Diggs' reaction:

"That Diggs was so quick to search his name on social media hints at an underlying problem with the Cowboys' culture that fans have discussed ad nauseam. That should have been the last thing on Diggs' mind, but we digress. The tirade itself is the embarrassing part"

The Cowboys have been under fire all season, thanks to an inconsistent start and frustrations on both side of the ball.

As far as Diggs is concerned, Kittle and the Niners didn't provide a respite from the pressure and accusations.

Instead, San Francisco only fueled the problems Dallas has experienced for much of the year.

Diggs' reaction is mere proof.
