During a game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks, 49ers receiver Mike Evans found himself in a brief altercation with Seahawks cornerback Trevon Diggs. The incident occurred after a play concluded, with Diggs walking behind Evans and possibly making a disparaging remark in his ear.

After a moment of confusion, Evans asked, "Who are you?" Evans later explained that he was initially unsure if it was Diggs because of the helmet obscuring his identification and their history of friendly trash talk.

Despite the confrontation, the 49ers managed to secure a 32-29 victory over the Seahawks, improving their record to 5-0 and securing the top spot in the NFC West.
