    The Week 4 “Thursday Night Football” matchup features a new chapter in the long rivalry between NFC East foes New York and Dallas. The Giants and Cowboys have played each other 124 times in NFL history dating back to 1960 and have combined for nine Super Bowl titles.

    Tonight is the first of two meetings between the teams in 2024, and both struggled through three weeks. New York has the fourth-worst scoring offense, but top rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers has been a bright spot to shine this year. Dallas has the third-worst scoring defense, but Trevon Diggs is one of the better cornerbacks in the league, according to Sports Information Solutions (SIS) data.

    This is the first time the two have faced off in the NFL, but there is already some beef being grilled between them. This is why a rivalry arises between Nabers and Diggs:

    What started a rivalry between Trevon Diggs and Malik Nabers?

    Nabers – the No. 6 pick in the 2024 NFL draft – was asked during the offseason which cornerback he was most excited about. He said Diggs.

    Diggs responded to Nabers’ interview clip, referencing Dallas’ 13-1 record in the last 14 games against New York.

    Nabers responded with a coffin emoji to a video posted to X in which he used his interview response for a Diggs hype video. Diggs also responded to that video with a ninja emoji.

    Nabers later said he complimented Diggs by naming him as the best cornerback to watch. He told Giants beat writer Dan Duggan that Diggs is a great corner and it will be a great matchup.

    When asked Tuesday, Nabers downplayed the budding rivalry, saying he didn’t want to talk about it and wanted to focus on the game.

    Diggs traditionally doesn’t follow the opponent’s best receiver, but that could change this week. Nabers leads the league in goals (37) and is fifth in receiving yards (271). He is the main weapon in the Giants’ offense this year.
