Diggs is tied with Bengals LB Logan Wilson for the league lead in interceptions after Week 3. His pick-six in Monday night's win was a soul-crushing play for the Eagles, ending any realistic thoughts of a second-half comeback.

Trevon is the first Cowboys defender to win the monthly award since in September of 2017.

If these three weeks are any indication, Trevon Diggs is only just getting started. By the end of this season, we could be talking about even bigger awards and recognition for the Cowboys' emerging defensive star.
