As the Super Bowl entered the fourth quarter, things got a little more intense on the Levi’s Stadium field.
Stefon Diggs of the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks defensive back Josh Jobe grabbed each other’s face masks early in the fourth quarter and had to be separated, but not before a punch was thrown.
The incident came shortly after the Seattle Seahawks made it a 19-0 game.

Jobe shoved Diggs to the turf out of bounds and Diggs got in Jobe’s face to return some pleasantries.
Diggs then grabbed Jobe’s face mask before Jobe returned open-handed to Diggs’ head area. Kayshon Boutte and Mack Hollins then had to take Diggs away from the situation.
Jobe then threw a left fist at Diggs.
The refs didn’t catch Jobe’s hit, so he stayed in the game.

Perhaps the brouhaha lit a fire under the Pats because Mack Hollins scored a touchdown soon after to make it a 19-7 game.
For a long time, the game appeared to be perhaps the first in Super Bowl history without a touchdown, but two were scored on back-to-back drives in short order after slow offense through three quarters.

The Seahawks are looking for their second Super Bowl win, while one for New England would be their seventh.
