Former Buffalo Bills star Stefon Diggs had a disastrous game at the Super Bowl, and things may have gotten even worse after his blowout loss.
Diggs and the New England Patriots suffered a resounding defeat to the Seattle Seahawks, with New England’s offense struggling to move the ball through the first three quarters before two late — and largely meaningless — touchdowns.
Diggs struggled to make an impact on the field, with just one catch through the first three quarters and a fight with a Seahawks defensive back. He may have more trouble at home, with TMZ reporting that he and girlfriend Cardi B faced breakup rumors after the game.
Stefon Diggs & Cardi B’s Actions Turn Heads
As the report noted, the famous couple attracted some negative attention when it was revealed that they unfollowed each other on social media.
Latest Sign of Trouble for Stefon Diggs
Diggs and Cardi B just welcomed a son in November, but the All-Pro wide receiver has also faced plenty of personal struggles. He faces criminal charges of felony strangulation or suffocation stemming from an incident on Dec. 2, when police said he had a dispute with a former personal chef that turned physical.
Diggs received a delay in the arraignment until February 13. Though the Patriots receiver vehemently denied the charges, he could still face a suspension from the NFL, which has wide latitude to issue punishments to players who face criminal charges.
Diggs will also face a more immediate risk, with the NFL potentially fining him for a fight that took place in the second half of the Super Bowl. Diggs was hit while out of bounds — a play that will likely draw its own fine — and responded by shoving Seahawks defensive back Josh Jobe.
Jobe then threw a punch at Diggs, prompting players on both teams to break up the scuffle. Jobe will likely face discipline for the play as well.
Diggs could have more legal troubles as well. TMZ also reported in the days before the Super Bowl that Diggs was hit with a new civil lawsuit accusing him of defamation related to a stolen car.
