  "textContent": "\n\n\nControversy broke out during the Super Bowl as star receiver Stefon Diggs was involved in an on-pitch fight - before officials gave no penalty.\n\nSeahawks cornerback Josh Jobe appeared to shove the Patriots' wide receiver following the end of a play while he was off the field.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nHe then seemed to punch his opponent during an outburst.\n\nDiggs responded furiously and chased Jobe down.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe two engaged in a faceoff, with both players appearing to push and punch.\n\nBut referees were unable to review it because no flag was thrown.\n\nNeither player was ejected.\n\nViewers took to social media to express their confusion about the no-call.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nOne user wrote: \"Where was the flag on the punch on Diggs? Should have been a flag.\"\n\nAnother said: \"The fact that not a flag was thrown AND he threw a punch?! UNBELIEVABLE\"\n\nA third added: \"Did they just punch Stefon Diggs?\"\n\nA fourth quipped: \"Justice for Diggs, that punch was dirty.\"\n\n### LATEST SPORT NEWS\n\n\n\n\n  * Donald Trump issues message to America as he misses Super Bowl after blasting 'terrible choices'\n  * Travis Kelce makes Super Bowl appearance without Taylor Swift amid retirement decision\n  * Jake Paul issues controversial Super Bowl statement as he brands Bad Bunny a 'fake American'\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nIt added drama to a Super Bowl that, up until that point, had delivered a frustrating spectacle for the 70,000 supporters in attendance at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara.\n\nSeattle and New England produced a dire first half of offence, with both sides failing to score a touchdown.\n\nSeahawks kicker Jason Myers proved the sole bright spot, converting three field goals to establish a 9-0 advantage before the half.\n\nQuarterbacks Sam Darnold and Drake Maye both failed to establish any offensive rhythm, with Maye suffering particularly badly behind a porous offensive line that allowed three sacks.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nPatriots head coach Mike Vrabel was spotted urging his players to \"calm down\" amid the dismal performance.\n\nFans took to social media with scathing assessments, one declaring: \"This might be the most boring Super Bowl of all-time.\"\n\nThe scoreless touchdown streak finally ended early in the fourth quarter when Darnold found tight end AJ Barner with a 16-yard scoring strike, putting Seattle firmly in control.\n\nThe breakthrough appeared to galvanise New England, who, after the punch-up occurred, responded swiftly with Maye's 35-yard touchdown pass to receiver Mack Hollins.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards:The GB News Editorial Charter**",
