Trevon Diggs did it again.

For the fifth consecutive game, the Dallas Cowboys cornerback intercepted a pass in Sunday’s game against the New York Giants at AT&T Stadium.

Diggs has six interceptions in five games, including two last week in the win over the Carolina Panthers.

Diggs tied Don Bishop’s 1961 Cowboys record with picks in five consecutive games to start a season.

He has nine interceptions in his past 10 games going back to his rookies season in 2020.

Diggs leads the NFL with six interceptions, twice as many as any other player.

Former Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant called Diggs the best cornerback in the NFL on Twitter. Cowboys’ single-season interception leader Everson Walls chimed in, too. “Y’all better leave him alone!” Walls posted on Twitter. Walls’ 11 interceptions in 1981 are a franchise record.
