WATCH: Trevon Diggs picks off Stefon Diggs during Pro Bowl flag football game
Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs brought his sticky hands to the Pro Bowl flag football game and used them against his own brother. The 2021 NFL interceptions leader easily sniffed out a backward pass from Trevor Lawerence to Stefon Diggs and picked off his brother’s attempted touchdown pass to Lawrence.
The AFC and NFC were all tied up after a touchdown from tight end T.J. Hockenson, but Stefon Diggs got the last laugh, scoring on the ensuing drive to put the NFC back on top.
Overall in the Pro Bowl Games, the AFC and NFC each have 12 points. The current flag football game is worth another six points, but there’s one more to go on Sunday before the ultimate winner is decided.
There were doubts that the NFL could generate interest for the Pro Bowl after switching formats for 2023 but so far, it’s yielded nothing but hilarity and highlights from some of the league’s biggest personalities.
The Cowboys’ Diggs is playing in the second Pro Bowl game of his career, while the Bills’ Diggs, five years Trevon’s senior, is playing in his third.

Diggs vs Diggs showdown coming in 2023
The brothers haven’t faced off against each other so far in Trevon’s three years in the league. However, the Cowboys have the Bills on their list of road opponents for 2023.
Trevon Diggs is eligible for an extension on his rookie contract this offseason. Although he led the league in interceptions in 2021, he had just three in 2022, along with a career-high 59 tackles. He signed a four-year deal worth $6.3 million after coming out of Alabama as one of the top defensive back prospects in his draft class.
Meanwhile, Stefon Diggs signed a four-year, $96 million contract extension with the Bills last April. He had his fifth consecutive season with 1,000+ receiving yards this year.
