A brief on-field confrontation during the Super Bowl drew attention after video circulated online. The moment, missed by officials, sparked mixed reactions across social media.

The exchange took place early in the fourth quarter at Levi's Stadium. At that point, the Seattle Seahawks had just extended their lead over the New England Patriots to nineteen to zero.

According to reporting from Fox News, Seahawks defensive back Josh Jobe pushed Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs to the turf out of bounds following a play. Diggs stood up and approached Jobe, and the two players exchanged words.

Escalation on the Sideline

Video from the broadcast shows Diggs grabbing Jobe’s facemask during the confrontation. Jobe then responded with an open hand to Diggs' head area.

Moments later, Jobe threw a left-handed punch toward Diggs. Officials did not see the punch, and no penalty was called.

The situation ended when Patriots wide receivers Kayshon Boutte and Mack Hollins stepped in. Both players pulled Diggs away before the exchange escalated further.

Because officials did not catch the punch, Jobe remained in the game. The sequence became a point of discussion once clips began circulating online.

The moment generated strong reactions. Many commenters expressed support for Diggs.

One person wrote, "Mind you, Stef was attacked even walked away and still got grabbed. Why are yall acting like he did something wrong?" Another added, "Stef wasn’t wrong I support his actions."

A third comment focused on the footage itself, stating, "It's stefon yanking him by the helmet."

The play was also discussed on Reddit, where reactions varied. In a thread highlighting the moment, one person wrote, "That’s crazy!"

Another commented, "Jobe what you doing bro?" Not all reactions favored Diggs.

One post read, "Stefon Diggs deserve [sic] it. Viking players agreed." Another added, "Couldn't have happened to a better guy."

What Happened Next

Shortly after the incident, the Patriots scored their first touchdown of the game. Hollins caught the score, cutting the deficit to nineteen to seven.

For much of the night, the game had been trending toward becoming the first Super Bowl without a touchdown. That possibility ended when two touchdowns were scored on consecutive drives late in the game.

Although no penalties were issued, the brief confrontation remained one of the most talked-about moments from the game.

Social Media Move Raises Questions

While the exchange between the two players continued to circulate after the game, attention soon shifted away from the field. A separate development involving Diggs' personal life began drawing notice online later that same night.

After the game, attention shifted from the field to social media. Fans noticed that Cardi B and Stefon Diggs had unfollowed each other on Instagram.

Rumors Follow the Unfollow

The unfollow quickly fueled speculation that the two may have broken up. Online reactions began connecting the timing of the unfollow to Diggs' performance and the game's outcome. Fans on Instagram questioned whether something had felt off earlier in the night.

One comment read, "Bruh i knew something was off about Stefon Diggs today during the game." Another asked, "How is this even possible?"

The situation also drew responses on X after a post highlighted the unfollow. One person wrote, "They were both happy like two minutes ago." Another commented, "That's such a trivial reason for breakup." A third one added, "She only wants you when you’re winning."

As of now, there has been no confirmation from either party regarding a breakup. The unfollow remains the only visible change that prompted the online discussion.

Without statements from Diggs or Cardi B, the speculation continues to be based solely on social media activity and fan reactions.
