When the Dallas Cowboys visit the Buffalo Bills at Orchard Park for a Week 15 battle later this upcoming holiday season, a highly-anticipated brotherly matchup will remain on hold.

Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs, the younger brother of Bills receiver, Stefon Diggs, tore his ACL at practice on Thursday and will miss the remainder of the season. Lining up against his brother during a late-season playoff environment was set to be a special moment for the duo and football fans alike.

But "according" to an unprofessionally-timed joke made recently by ESPN analyst and former NFL linebacker Bart Scott, the misfortune was bound to happen to the Cowboys anyway.

“This is a major blow for Dallas, and like Stephen A. (Smith) always says, just wait, something bad always happens,” Scott said on a recent episode of First Take.

Stefon didn't take the joking lightly. While usually known on social media for his cryptic tweeting, Stefon wasted little time calling out Scott directly on X in defense of Trevon.

"Bart scott. Like what did you gain from that ? Other than looking like a (clown emoji)," Stefon tweeted Friday.

Considering the relationship the Diggs brothers are known to have, Trevon's injury likely hurt Stefon emotionally as well. If Scott were to say the same thing five years from now while reflecting on the injury, it's possible that it wouldn't warrant a tweet or get noticed by Stefon, regardless of its insensitivity.

But with Trevon's injury happening on Thursday, Scott's comments weren't so easily swept under the rug. The social media backlash to Scott grew even more after Cowboys star linebacker Micah Parsons called him out as well in defense of Trevon.

"Im not arguing with a grown a** man on Twitter!" Parsons tweeted at Scott. "You a lame, keep my brother name out your mouth ! Get a new segment cause the one you had today was trash!!"

Parsons and the Cowboys will face off against Stefon and the Bills on Sunday, Dec. 17. Despite no Trevon, the matchup remains a marquee game late in the season.

But before we get ahead of ourselves, the Cowboys will look to move to 3-0 on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium.
