Our Reading
The habit gets a new name.
Evans blocks and talks. Diggs reacts. Both get paid. The game is a mess of noise and points. Fans scream. Players yell. The refs don’t care. The story is recycled. The same every week.
Evans said he didn’t know it was Diggs. That’s a lie. Everyone knows Diggs. The play was loud. The trash talk was louder. The win was the only thing that mattered.
Mike Evans had a day. Trevon Diggs had a moment. The NFL has a script. It’s always the same.
Trash talk is just another way to say “I’m not afraid of you.”

Mike Evans had a day.
The veteran wideout hauled in seven catches for 118 yards and a score. He got his team on the scoreboard first with a first quarter touchdown.
It was Evans’ first 100-yard performance of the season. San Francisco needed every yard.
The game went back and forth for four quarters. The two sides traded leads throughout the matchup, with the 49ers dealing the final blow with less than two minutes left to play.
San Francisco struck first to go up 7-0. Seattle scored the next 10 points. The Niners regained a 21-13 lead before halftime only to see Seattle storm back with 13 straight third quarter points.
A Brandin Cooks touchdown catch gave the 49ers a 29-26 lead in the final period. Seattle answered with a field goal, but an Eddy Pineiro kick with 1:56 in regulation would end up being the difference.
Mike Evans disrespected Trevon Diggs.
The interaction came on a run play with Evans blocking Diggs. The cornerback thought he was doing too much. Evans had to find out who he was talking to.
After the game, he was asked about the exchange. Here’s what the pass catcher had to say.
“I was blocking him until the whistle and he said I’m doing extra or something like that, and I didn’t know that was him at first because I played against him a few times and we’ve always been cool,” Evans said.
“He’s a good player. I honestly didn’t know it was him because in the helmet it’s hard to tell sometimes. I said who are you and looked to make sure and I was like ‘Oh, it’s f—ing Diggs,’ and then he mushed me. That should have been a penalty. It is what it is.”
Evans said Diggs should’ve been penalized.
Evans claimed he didn’t recognize Diggs during the play and said Diggs should have been penalized. He laughed it off after the win.
San Francisco prevented Seattle from forcing a two-way tie in the NFC West standings. Diggs will get a chance for revenge in November when the teams meet again.
