The Dallas Cowboys defense got off to a horrid start after jumping out to an early 7-0 lead. On the first play, Los Angeles Chargers RB Austin Ekeler knifed through the Cowboys defense as linebackers Leighton Vander Esch and Jaylon Smith failed to make the required play and earned 20 yards. On the next play there was pressure on QB Justin Herbert but the secondary had a breakdown when he escaped and rolled right to find a wide-open Keenan Allen on the right sideline.
But on the next play, the future was now. CB Trevon Diggs made an incredible drive on the ball to pluck it from in front of the receiver for a diving interception, his second in two games on the young season.

The Cowboys went back on offense but Dak Prescott overthrew CeeDee Lamb after two big gains and was intercepted by rookie CB Asante Samuel, Jr.
