Trevon Diggs of the Cowboys May Face NFL Discipline After Incident with Jets Wide Receiver

The Dallas Cowboys have emerged victorious for the first time since Week 2, securing a decisive 37-22 win over the New York Jets on Sunday. The Cowboys showcased a well-rounded performance, amassing 416 yards of total offense and securing 22 first downs, all while avoiding any turnovers. The defensive squad effectively kept Jets’ dynamic quarterback, Justin Fields, at bay. Although Fields managed 283 passing yards and two touchdowns, most of his stats came in the final quarter when the Cowboys already led 30-6.

Cowboys’ Offensive Brilliance Shines Against the Jets

Dallas’s victory was anchored by standout performances from key players. Quarterback Dak Prescott threw for 237 yards and four touchdowns. Running back Javonte Williams contributed significantly, rushing for 135 yards and scoring two touchdowns. Tight end Jake Ferguson added to the offensive firepower with seven receptions and two touchdowns.

On-Field Tension Escalates During Fourth Quarter

In a game packed with thrilling plays, a fourth-quarter altercation between Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs and Jets receiver Arian Smith caught attention. With 13:47 remaining, a seemingly routine play escalated when Smith headbutted Diggs, prompting a retaliatory swing from the Cowboys player. Diggs received a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for the incident.

Potential Consequences Under NFL’s Disciplinary Policies

Given the NFL’s stringent policies on player conduct, Diggs may face disciplinary action from the league. Fines for first-time offenses related to physical altercations typically start at $12,172, escalating to $17,968 for repeat incidents. This wouldn’t be Diggs’ first encounter with league penalties; he has been fined three times previously, including a $16,883 penalty for a “leg whip” in a previous season.
