Things got a little heated in Dallas Cowboys practice Tuesday as starting quarterback Dak Prescott and defensive back Trevon Diggs got into a confrontation during practice.
According to reports, it started when Prescott escaped the Cowboys’ pass rush and scored a touchdown, which Diggs didn’t like.
Diggs could be overheard telling Prescott “Shut your [explicit] up!’ Now, for those of you who may not know, Prescott and Diggs are supposedly friends and have a friendly rivalry with each other.
In fact, Diggs’s son says Prescott is his favorite player, but it didn’t seem too friendly Tuesday with Diggs going a bit too far.
But last year, Diggs said about his friend that he was the man for the job and that he wasn’t worried.
“I know what Dak’s going to do. I know he’s a winner. … I’m never sweating. I’m never trippin’ … I know Dak is going to lead us to where we need to go,” Diggs said.
But NFL fans had a different take on the interaction. Some were shocked at how Diggs treated Prescott, others, however, thought it is needed.
Diggs ready to light up his own QB 😂

To be honest this is the tough love Dak needs. Because them tough games Dak likes to go in a corner.
