The New England Patriots went to Baltimore and got the job done on Sunday night, defeating the Ravens 28-24. And someone very special was in the crowd, cheering on the team.
Stefon Diggs‘ girlfriend, Cardi B, was at M&T Bank Stadium, and a video of her leaving has been circulating on social media where she’s seen trolling Ravens fans. Specifically, with Baltimore’s playoff hopes being more difficult after the loss, the rapper joked that the Ravens are “going to Cancun,” per Billboard.
Cardi B also shared some photos on Instagram of herself from the game, including one with Patriots owner Robert Kraft.
Stefon Diggs Impresses In Primetime

Diggs is a Maryland native, and in his return home, he had an impressive night, finishing with nine receptions for a team-high 138 yards
“Prime time is my time. The world is watching. I always look at it as another opportunity to show the world who I am and how I’m coming,” Diggs told reporters after the game (per ESPN’s Mike Reiss). “My teammates got my back. I’ve been a positive influence, a positive force on this team, keeping my energy high. Ain’t no letup in me. Prime time, my time. Prime time, our time.”
“I work for it. I’m prepared for it. I expect success,” he added. “I look at it as if in the biggest moments, I want my team to lean on me.”
And it’s clear that there’s a reason he’s become one of Drake Maye’s top targets.
“People have no idea what he means to this team,” Maye said in his postgame press conference. “He’s a leader. He’s been great in the locker room. He wants the football in his hand.”
Head coach Mike Vrabel also took a moment to praise the receiver.
“We talk about opportunities this whole year, and you know somebody, that receiving room, and I get the nature of the receivers in this league,” Vrabel said about Diggs on Sunday. “I understand. I’ve been around this league for a while, and they all want the ball. That’s what they are supposed to do. When they don’t get it, they have to understand that they will get it. He took advantage of his opportunities, came through with contested catches, third-down conversions. It was great to see.”
Stefon Diggs ‘Escaped’ The Medical Tent During Concussion Check
After a 25-yard reception early in Sunday’s win over the Ravens, NFL concussion spotters flagged Diggs, and he was taken into the blue medical tent. However, he was itching to get back on the field as quickly as possible.
“I was blacking out, bro,” Diggs told reporters after the game (via MassLive’s Mark Daniels). “They was holding me in the tent. They said I had a concussion, but I never touched my head. I never laid on the ground. They monitored me for a concussion. I said, ‘I never had a concussion. I was touching my shoulder. So how would y’all say had a concussion?’ So I was fighting with them to get back out there.”
He ultimately only missed five players, and NBC sideline reporter Melissa Stark humorously told the broadcast that Diggs had to be forced into the tent before eventually escaping out the back.
“I was like, I never had a concussion,” Diggs added. “They said, ‘What game is it? What quarter is it? Who’d you play last week?’ I said, ‘Listen, I don’t even remember what I ate yesterday.’”
