This Trevon Diggs fact is extremely embarrassing for Giants fans

It’s not breaking news that Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs is taking the NFL by storm this season. In the Week 15 matchup against the New York Giants, Diggs caught his league-leading 10th interception of the season.

This puts Diggs only one interception behind the Cowboys organization record of 11 (held by Hall of Famer Everson Walls) and four interceptions behind the NFL record of 14 (set by Dick “Night Train” Lane). So far, the only other cornerback to come close to Diggs is New England’s J.C. Jackson, who has seven picks.

To hit double digits, Diggs went up and caught an underthrown pass by backup Mike Glennon that was intended for wide receiver Kenny Golladay. Diggs caught the ball, but Golladay ripped it out of his hands, causing the refs to intially rule the play an incomplete pass. After head coach Mike McCarthy threw the challenge flag, the ruling was overturned, resulting in a Diggs interception.

Yes, the Diggs interception was impressive. But perhaps what is even more mind-boggling is this fact that Blogging The Boys manager RJ Ochoa tweeted:

Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs has more catches in the end zone of MetLife Stadium than Giants receiver Kenny Golladay

That’s right. Diggs now has one snag in the end zone of MetLife Stadium. The Giants receiver has none. In fact, Golladay has zero touchdowns on the entire season.

Sure, Daniel Jones is hurt. Sure, Mike Glennon and Jake Fromm are not great quarterback replacements. Sure, Golladay missed three weeks of the season with an injury. But the 28-year-old receiver still only has 31 catches and 477 yards on the season. This has to be pretty upsetting for Giants fans who know that Golladay received a four-year, $72 million deal with New York ahead of this season.

This is not what the Giants were hoping for out of a guy known for being great with contested throws. Diggs, on the other hand, is still on his four-year, $6.3 million rookie contract.

We know Diggs will get paid a pretty penny when the time comes. Until then, we are rooting for him to inch closer and closer to history.
