Diggs was largely off the stat sheet through three quarters, registering just one catch, and he was involved in a brief on-field confrontation with a Seahawks defender. He shoved Seahawks defensive back Josh Jobe after a hit out of bounds, and Jobe threw a punch as teammates from both teams stepped in to break up the skirmish.
Off the field, TMZ reported breakup rumors surrounding Diggs and Cardi B after the loss, noting that the couple unfollowed each other on Instagram. The speculation followed the headlines surrounding the Super Bowl and the couple’s public profile.
Diggs also faces serious personal legal matters, including felony strangulation or suffocation charges stemming from a December incident with a former personal chef. His arraignment has been delayed to February 13, and he has denied the charges; if confirmed, the case could yield NFL discipline in addition to any criminal penalties.
In addition to the criminal case, TMZ reported a civil lawsuit alleging defamation related to a stolen car connected to Diggs. The suit claims defaming statements were made about a Ferrari transfer, adding another layer of potential legal exposure for the star wide receiver.
As Diggs navigates a high-profile mix of in-game controversy and legal challenges, NFL observers will be watching for any league discipline related to the on-field incident, as well as how the broader personal matters might impact his career and public standing.
