During Tom Brady's years in New England, the unofficially official king and queen of the Patriots were, of course, the greatest quarterback of all time and his then-supermodel wife, Gisele BBündchen. That obviously changed once Brady left the team in 2020, and over the last few years, the NFL has become obsessed with crowning a new league-wide couple.

It has become clear that Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and his fiancée, Taylor Swift, have earned that title, as the league and its fans have become enthralled by every move they make.

But maybe that will start to change now that Stefon Diggs is expecting his first child with Cardi B, who was in attendance for the Patriots game vs the Falcons on Sunday, as she was shown sitting next to team owner Robert Kraft in his suite.

She immediately won over all Patriots fans by hitting the celebration that Diggs has made famous this season, and she could be well on her way to dethroning Taylor Swift as the queen of the NFL.

The Patriots are finally having fun again, and Robert Kraft is enjoying every second of it

It's a sign of just how much things have changed for the Patriots over the past year, because when was the last time we saw a significant other sitting next to Kraft in his suite? It's clear that Diggs has made quite an impression on the organization, hence Kraft welcoming Cardi to sit beside him for the Week 9 game.

This might be a coming-out party for the couple, and maybe they can compete with Kelce and Swift for the best couple in the NFL.

That will be difficult, however, because of the star power behind Swift alone. However, Cardi and Diggs will be welcomed by the fans as the new faces of the Patriots, and that's what matters most.

It's just the latest example of the dramatic turnaround the Patriots have undergone this offseason, much of it due to the addition of Mike Vrabel as the new head coach, and it's making watching the team fun again on Sundays.
