Stefon Diggs Goes Viral With Cardi B After Patriots’ AFC...

The New England Patriots have grinded out wins all season under first-year head coach Mike Vrabel, but on Sunday — amid harsh second-half weather conditions — they leaned heavily on their defense to defeat the Denver Broncos 10–7 in the AFC Championship Game and punch their ticket to the Super Bowl. Neither offense found much success, but veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs, whom the Patriots acquired this offseason, led the team with five receptions despite quarterback Drake Maye throwing for just 86 yards. For Diggs, the win marked his third AFC Championship Game appearance with a third different team, having previously reached the stage with the Minnesota Vikings and Buffalo Bills. This time, however, it came with a Super Bowl berth — and one of the first people he celebrated with postgame was his girlfriend, popular rapper Cardi B Check it out: More news: Stephen A.

For me, I’ve been in the league 11 years and I’ve fallen short so many times. New team, new situation, new coaches, new teammates.
