The New England Patriots are headed back to the AFC Championship, defeating the Houston Texans 28-16 in a game that had analysts scratching their heads. All five ESPN NFL Live hosts had predicted a Texans upset, but the Patriots proved the doubters wrong once again.

Celebrations went beyond the field, with rapper Cardi B sharing her excitement on Instagram. Cardi, who is connected to Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs, didn’t hold back, taking a playful jab at the analysts who doubted Diggs’ team. “I’m happy. I feel like I’m in a good space. I feel very strong, very powerful that I’m doing all this work, but I’m doing all this work while I’m creating a baby,” she wrote, adding that Diggs makes her “feel safe and very confident and very strong.”

Diggs echoed that resilience on the field, emphasizing the Patriots’ ability to thrive when underestimated. “Hopefully they do that again this week because that’s another good defense we’re about to go see. Playing with a chip on our shoulder. I think we’re one of those teams that plays better with a chip on our shoulder,” Diggs said.

With this win, the Patriots continue a remarkable streak, marking their 15th consecutive AFC Championship appearance. Since 2011, either the Patriots or the Kansas City Chiefs have been mainstays in the AFC Championship, and now the Patriots are just one win away from another Super Bowl showdown, set to face the Denver Broncos. Fans are buzzing, and the Patriots’ dominance continues to make headlines.
