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.

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 league, however, is sure to hit one or both players with a fine in the coming days.

But the Patriots did score their first touchdown of the game finally just a few plays later when Drake Maye found Mack Hollins for a 35-yard score. That marked their first points of the game, too, and gave them a bit of life after it looked like the Seahawks were going to roll to a blowout win. Jobe had six solo tackles and one for a loss at the time.
