Things got a bit heated on Sunday afternoon at Levi’s Stadium.

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Josh Jobe and New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs got into it early in the fourth quarter of their Super Bowl LX matchup in Santa Clara, California.

Things started after Jobe was covering Diggs on a route in the final period of the game. Jobe came in and blindsided Diggs after he was already out of bounds, away from the play in question. Diggs immediately hopped up and confronted Jobe, and things escalated quickly.

Eventually, as an official was trying to separate them, Jobe threw a left-handed punch that drilled Diggs right in the facemask.

Neither Jobe nor Diggs were penalized for the altercation. As a flag wasn’t thrown on the field, the NFL wasn’t able to step in and assess further punishment, either.

The Patriots did score their first touchdown of the game, finally, a few plays later. Quarterback Drake Maye found Mack Hollins for a 35-yard score to get them on the board. That gave them a bit of life, too, after it looked like the Seahawks were going to roll to a blowout win.

But the Seahawks sealed the deal after Devon Witherspoon drilled Maye in the backfield and forced an interception, which Uchenna Nwosu ran back 44 yards for a touchdown. That powered them to the 29-13 victory and gave them their first Super Bowl win in more than a decade. Diggs ended the night with 37 yards on three catches. Jobe had seven total tackles, one of which was for a loss.

While both players avoided an in-game penalty, the league could be coming with a fine of some sort for at least one of the two guys in the coming days.
