Of course, some moments drew “ooohs” and “aahs” from the fans. But there was one moment, involving Trevon Diggs and Mike Evans, that’ll remain etched in the fans’ memories. It was something that even made former Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman praise the wideout.As the game progressed and Evans worked through seven receptions for 113 yards, a touchdown, and a successful two-point conversion, Diggs expressed his frustration through some trash talk.

A viral video showed the cornerback mouthing some expletive words directed at the quarterback right after the defensive lineup stopped an offensive play at the goal line.
