New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs delivered a game-shifting toe-tap touchdown on fourth-and-goal against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on November 9, 2025, but it was girlfriend Cardi B’s over-the-top reaction that dominated social media in the hours after the 28-23 victory. The pregnant rap superstar, watching from home, posted a video of herself screaming expletives and chanting “bring it home!” as Diggs hauled in the 1-yard score from quarterback Drake Maye just before halftime, flipping momentum and helping secure the Patriots’ seventh straight win.

Cardi, 33, didn’t stop there. She followed up with an X post featuring a GIF of a woman kicking her leg high in the air while lying down, captioning it “When my man score a touchdown… PAT NATION!!! #PattyNation #PatekNation #PattiLabellePiesNation.” The clever hashtags and suggestive visual racked up over 2 million views and 29,000 likes within 24 hours, sparking a frenzy of memes and fan reactions comparing her to Taylor Swift’s Travis Kelce support but with Cardi’s signature unfiltered flair.

Diggs, playing in his first full season with New England after stints with the Bills, Texans, and a brief ACL recovery, finished with five catches for 46 yards and the crucial score—his third in as many games. The 31-year-old’s acrobatic grab, complete with perfect toe-drag on the sideline, bailed out coach Mike Vrabel’s aggressive call to go for it on fourth down instead of kicking a field goal or running out the clock.

The couple, who went public earlier in 2025 after meeting at a Knicks playoff game, announced they were expecting a baby boy last month. Diggs revealed the gender in a PEOPLE interview, saying he’s thrilled for fatherhood amid a career resurgence that has him on pace for over 1,000 yards. Cardi has embraced Patriots fandom hard, attending games in Robert Kraft’s suite and mimicking Diggs’ celebrations—though he playfully roasted her shaky attempts post-touchdown last week.

This latest outburst comes amid minor drama: a paternity test confirmed Diggs fathered a 7-month-old daughter with influencer Aileen Lopera, but sources say Cardi is unfazed, focusing on their growing family. The rapper, fresh off divorce finalization from Offset, told Gayle King she’s in a “good space” with Diggs, crediting his support during her pregnancy.

On the field, running back TreVeyon Henderson stole co-headlines with 147 yards and two scores, including a 69-yarder, while Maye’s poise under pressure—highlighted by a 54-yard bomb to Mack Hollins—kept drives alive. The defense, led by Jaylinn Hawkins’ key stops, held Tampa to field goals in crunch time.

Cardi’s post drew celeb shoutouts: Lizzo called it “queen energy,” while fans flooded replies with “Cardi > Taylor” and pregnancy jokes like “Girl put them legs down—you got a baby on board!” One viral thread dissected the GIF’s origins, tying it to classic celebration memes.

The Patriots, now atop the AFC East, face tougher tests ahead, but Diggs’ chemistry with Maye is clicking. He’s surpassed 11,000 career yards and ranks among active leaders in receptions.

Off-field, Cardi and Diggs continue trending as 2025’s powerhouse pair. She’s prepping her sophomore album and Las Vegas residency; he’s chasing a ring after playoff heartbreaks. Their sideline (and bedside) PDA? Pure gold for fans craving real-deal romance in sports.

As one X user summed: “Cardi turned a TD into a whole vibe—Pat Nation never been hotter.” The win boosts New England’s playoff odds to 85%, per analytics, but Cardi’s chaos might be the real MVP.

Diggs, post-game, grinned about the buzz: “She keeps it real—that’s why I love her.” Cardi fired back on Live: “My man scores, I celebrate—simple!”

With the couple’s baby due soon, expect more viral moments. For now, Pats fans chant “PAT NATION” louder than ever—thanks to Cardi’s unapologetic hype.
