JUST IN: Stefon Diggs trade resets headline clash

In a seismic shift that sent shockwaves through the league, the Buffalo Bills traded former First-Team All-Pro wide receiver Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans, setting the stage for an anticipated showdown with Dallas Cowboys’ standout cornerback Trevon Diggs.

Stefon Diggs expressed his surprise at the trade news on social media, indicating that even he was caught off guard.

The brothers were poised to face each other for the first time in their NFL careers in 2023, but those plans were thwarted when Trevon Diggs suffered a season-ending torn ACL in September, well before their scheduled matchup in mid-December.

In their previous encounter, Stefon Diggs and the Bills secured a decisive late-season victory over the Cowboys, who were without Trevon Diggs. Now, the Cowboys will face a formidable Houston offense, potentially more explosive than Buffalo’s last season.

The Texans are bolstering their offensive arsenal by adding Stefon Diggs to a unit led by breakout quarterback sensation C.J. Stroud. Additionally, they anticipate the return of Tank Dell from injury and have acquired Joe Mixon in free agency, while retaining former Cowboys’ tight end Dalton Schultz.
Furthermore, the Texans’ offensive threat is compounded by the presence of Damien Pierce and Nico Collins, adding even more depth and danger to their lineup.

This ensures that the upcoming clash between the Texas teams will be nothing short of electrifying, possibly marking it as one of, if not the, most thrilling encounters to date. Despite the Cowboys holding a 4-2 series lead, matchups between these teams tend to be fiercely contested, with the last three games being decided by an average of approximately three points.

When the Texans make their journey up I-45 North to Arlington, they’ll bring an abundance of firepower. However, Trevon Diggs is undoubtedly relishing the challenge of facing his older brother on such a prominent stage.

Likewise, Stefon Diggs will be determined to seize victory and claim the bragging rights for himself.

Indeed, everything truly lives up to its grand reputation in Texas.
