49ers' Mike Evans Explains Viral Diggs Confrontation

After San Francisco's win over Seattle, 49ers receiver Mike Evans finished with seven catches for 113 yards and a touchdown, helping the team stay unbeaten. During on-field trash talk, Evans turned Seahawks cornerback Trevon Diggs around to read his jersey. Evans said he had not recognized Diggs and that the two had been friendly in the past. Evans said Diggs shoved him in the facemask afterward and that the shove warranted a penalty. Officials did not call one. The exchange went viral, with fans joking that Evans was pretending not to know Diggs, while former NFL cornerback Richard Sherman praised the moment. The dispute over the uncalled facemask remained a matter of Evans's claim versus the officials' decision not to throw a flag.
