Mike Evans went viral for trash talking Trevon Diggs.


The San Francisco 49ers beat NFC West rival Seattle on Sunday in NFL action, 32-29. Mike Evans made headlines with a 100-yard game.

He also went viral for his disrespectful antics towards Seahawks cornerback Trevon Diggs. The mockery belongs in the trash talkers Hall of Fame.

The moment was one of many tense interactions in a hard-fought contest. Evans and the Niners got the last laugh.

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. The Seahawks were stopped on a fourth down play with less than a minute remaining. From there, the 49ers ran out the clock.

The win pushed San Francisco to 5-0 on the season. It is all alone atop the division standings. Seattle is in second at 3-2.

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 for his response. 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.
