The Dallas Cowboys have one of the worst defenses in football, and that notion was underscored on Sunday when they lost to the San Francisco 49ers 30-24, allowing 21 of those points in the third quarter.

Cowboys defensive back Trevon Diggs was among those frustrated with his and his team’s play. Diggs lashed out at WFAA’s Mike Leslie after the game. Leslie wondered during the game what Diggs was doing when Brock Purdy found George Kittle for a long play.

"Out of that whole play, that’s what you got from that?" Diggs asked aloud in the tunnel. "That’s what you got from that? Out of that whole play, that’s what you got from that."

Leslie responded, "We can talk about it more."

Diggs opened the door to the locker room and shot back, "We can talk about deez nuts."

Leslie wrote about the moment on X and said he did not have a comment on "deez nuts."
