Cowboys believe Stephon Gilmore, Trevon Diggs are primed to become NFL's best cornerback duo

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb faced the MetLife Stadium bleachers for his announcement.

“Hey, I’m gonna tell y’all right now,” Lamb said as the Cowboys rode a 40-0 lead in the fourth quarter against the New York Giants. “The best duo in the league. Non-negotiable.”

Lamb was reacting to the fumble cornerback Trevon Diggs had just forced, two quarters after veteran cornerback Stephon Gilmore caught a diving interception of Daniel Jones, which was itself a quarter after Diggs hit Giants running back Saquon Barkley so hard that Barkley coughed up a ball that fellow Cowboys defender DaRon Bland returned for a touchdown.
