Cowboys' Micah Parsons, Trevon Diggs Fined for Unsportsmanlike Conduct vs. Eagles

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons and cornerback Trevon Diggs were each fined for unsportsmanlike conduct in last week's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Parsons was fined $10,609 for flexing over Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert, and Diggs was fined $9,577 for taking his helmet off following a late touchdown by Philadelphia.

With the Cowboys down 20-10 to the Eagles in the third quarter, Parsons dove to break up a pass intended for Goedert before getting up and flexing. He also began talking to Goedert and was flagged for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

Diggs' penalty came after the Cowboys gave up a touchdown that put the Eagles up 26-17 in the fourth quarter. He took off his helmet and slammed it to the ground in frustration.

The Cowboys dropped to 4-2 on the season with the loss, while the Eagles improved to 6-0. Philadelphia owns a commanding lead over Dallas in the NFC East standings, though the New York Giants are still in play for the top spot at 5-1.

After winning Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2021, Parsons is off to a hot start this season. Through six games, he has posted six sacks, two pass breakups, one forced fumble, 26 tackles, eight tackles for a loss and 12 quarterback hits.

Diggs, who was named a Pro Bowler last season, is also off to a solid start, posting two interceptions, nine pass breakups and 18 tackles in six games.

The Cowboys are set to face the 1-4 Detroit Lions on Sunday at AT&T Stadium. They don't face the Eagles again until Dec. 24.
