The Seattle Seahawks secured their second win since 2014. While the New England Patriots weren’t able to score till the last 13 minutes of the fourth quarter, the Seattle Seahawks dominated the whole game. Star player Drake Maye was faced with heavy criticism from disappointed fans on his performance as the star quarterback, despite having many opportunities to tackle and fumbled from making a comeback.
During the half time show, Bad Bunny put on a memorable performance commemorating his Puerto Rican Roots with songs played like “NUEVAyoL”, “El Apagón”, “CAFé CON RON Ron”, “DtMf”, and “LO QUE PASO A HAWAII”. Many found the real-life wedding ceremony and the inclusion of a younger version of him to be wholesome and heartfelt, honoring his latest Grammy win.
