NFL fans are having a field day teeing off on Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs after a fan posted a reel of him getting destroyed in coverage by Detroit Lions wideout Jameson Williams.
In the Lions’ 47-9 blowout win over the Cowboys, Jameson Williams caught three passes for 76 yards. This included a 37-yard touchdown in the third quarter with the All-Pro corner in coverage.
The popular @nflmatchuphighlights TikTok account posted a reel of Williams torching Diggs in coverage. The video featured Williams’ celebrations after the receptions and a clip of a frustrated Diggs seemingly saying, “I can’t even catch up.”
Social media had all sorts of epic reactions to the clip of Jameson Williams exposing the $97 million cornerback in Week 6:

In Diggs’ defense, none of the Cowboys’ other defensive players really showed up against the Lions. Superstar linebacker Micah Parsons, defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence and All-Pro DaRon Bland (he has yet to play this season) were all inactive in Week 6, too.
Bland emerged as one of the league’s top corners after Diggs suffered a season-ending ACL tear early last year. Bland, who might have managed to limit Jameson Williams in Week 6, remains on the IR after suffering a stress fracture.
The Lions will try to improve to 5-1 on the year when they visit the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. The Cowboys are on a much-needed Week 7 bye, and then they’ll return to action against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 8.
Jameson Williams Is Having A Breakout Year For Lions
Injuries and a suspension for gambling last year limited Williams to 18 games over his first two NFL seasons. But the Alabama product has stayed healthy and is enjoying a career year in Motor City, with 16 receptions for 365 yards and three touchdowns.
At this rate, Williams should easily cross the 1,000-yard mark for the first time in his career and shed the “bust” label that many prematurely assigned to him.
