Dallas Cowboys Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports

The Dallas Cowboys are trying to salvage their season, but there’s a lot of work to be done, both on and off the field.

Star cornerback Trevon Diggs was involved got into an altercation with a media member after his effort was called into question on a tackle attempt.

“That’s what you took from that?” Diggs said to the reporter. “Out of that whole play, that’s what you took from that? You don’t know football. You can’t do nothing that I do. You can’t go out there and do nothing. Stay in your lane, buddy. Stop trying me, dog.”

“Talk about deez nuts,” Diggs said as he walked away.

It’s a brutal look for Diggs and the Cowboys, who are sitting at 3-4 after losing to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night. Fans reacted to the incident online.
