Incredible performance by Mahomes and Butker's decisive blow

The Super Bowl is considered one of the most exciting events in world sports.

The final game for the championship of the National Football League (NFL) every year attracts the attention of millions of fans.

Moreover, it arouses interest not only as a sporting event, but also as a spectacular show, within the framework of which performances of popular artists are organized.

This year in Arizona, the game itself was exciting.

Kansas City Chiefs approached her as the favorite.

The club took first place in the standings of the regular championship AFC, scoring 14 victories and suffering only three defeats.

And in the playoffs, the team turned out to be stronger than Jacksonville and Cincinnati.

After that, she was eager to win the third trophy in history and the second in the modern era - in 2020, the San Francisco 49ers were defeated.

The following year, the Chiefs again made it to the finals, but lost heavily to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Kansas City mentor Andy Reid got the opportunity to upset his former team.

He led the Philadelphia Eagles for 13 years, from 1999 to 2012.

It is no coincidence that the current Super Bowl was even called the Andy Reed Bowl.

By the way, the opponent showed similar results in the NFC regular season - 14:3, but looked more intimidating in the playoffs: he left no chance for the New York Giants (38:7) and San Francisco (31:7).

The game was also interesting due to the confrontation between two star quarterbacks - Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts.

This pair became the youngest in the history of the Super Bowl (27 and 24 years old).

It is also the first time that two black players have met in this position.

The first one looked a little stronger, because he was recognized as the MVP of the season.

On the other hand, the winner of this award has not won the final since 1999.

And at first it seemed that the “curse” would work again.

Wards Reed unsuccessfully spent the first half of the meeting, allowing Hurts and AJ Brown to make three touchdowns.

To top it off, Mahomes was injured.

After one of the holds, he injured his ankle, on which he had previously stretched the ligaments.

Patrick, limping, with a grimace of pain on his face, went to the bench.

It seemed that he would not be able to return to the field.

“Everything was great until I twisted my ankle a little.

I thought I felt great, but then this happened.

Before the second half, I felt severe pain, but I could move my ankle, they bandaged it a little, and I went out.

The sensations are unpleasant, but I was going to give everything to the maximum, ”the football player admitted after the final whistle.

He not only returned, but also helped the Chiefs to make a comeback.

The team once again showed character.

In 2020, in the final, she won the final quarter with a score of 21:0, and this time she was stronger in the second half - 24:11 (17:8 in the last game segment).

The main hero was the injured Mahomes, who organized two decisive touchdowns in the fourth quarter.

First, he found Kaderius Toni on the right edge of the attack with an incredible pass, and then he performed a crazy pass to the opposite flank to Sky Moore.

After that, Philadelphia managed to restore the status quo - 35:35, but the psychological advantage was already on the side of the opponents.

In the end, the Chiefs carried out the last attack, competently dragging out time, and Harrison Butker converted a field goal - 38:35.

Mahomes was naturally recognized as the best player of the meeting, who scored 182 passing yards and organized three touchdowns.

“He wants to be the best ever.

That's the attitude Patrick does his job with.

Modestly.

Without self-praise.

He could openly talk about his achievements, but he will never do so.

Not in his spirit, ”noted the actions of the ward Reid.

Dramatic meeting of the Kelsey brothers

After the meeting ended, all attention was also riveted on Travis and Jason Kelsey.

The fact is that for the first time in the history of the Super Bowl, siblings were on opposite sides of the barricades.

The organizers covered this story as best they could.

So, a week ago, the mother of football players, Donna, unexpectedly appeared at the arena, where one of the events took place, and handed them homemade cookies in containers.

Of course, she also arrived in Arizona.

A costume was made especially for her, containing elements of the form of both Kansas City and Philadelphia.

The coloring of the jacket and even the woman's sneakers were divided exactly in half.

After the end of the game, she found herself in a difficult position, because Travis won, and Jason was defeated.

She was the first to hasten to comfort the elder.

The footage of mother and son embracing must have brought the fans to tears.

“Perhaps the realization has not yet come to the end.

I got a little emotional when I saw my mom and dad.

With regard to Trev, he behaved a little more restrained.

I just thought: “Oh, to hell with you, congratulations,” Jason admitted.

In turn, Travis rejoiced at the fact that, together with his brother, he achieved tremendous success and recalled that he had a great season.

“In a situation like this, you don’t really have anything to say to a loved one.

You joke all the time, and you say that you want to beat your brother on the biggest platform, but in the end the feeling is strange, ”said the football player.

The show and Rihanna's pregnancy

As usual, the special attention of the fans was attracted by the show dedicated to the Super Bowl.

For the tens of thousands of spectators gathered in the stands, local stars performed.

The national anthem of the United States before the match was performed by country singer Chris Stapleton.

Sheryl Lee Ralph and R'n'B singer Babyface also appeared on the stage.

And the main event was Rihanna's first live performance in five years during a break in the confrontation.

She delighted fans with her loudest hits - Where Have You Been, Only Girl (In the World), Umbrella and others.

At the same time, the entire performance took place on a special platform located on the edge.

The structure then rose to a height, then fell down.

However, much more discussion was caused by the singer's red outfit, which hugged her rounded belly.

Many have suggested that Rihanna and rapper ASAP Rocky are expecting their second child (the couple had a son in May 2022).

And after the show, the representative of the performer confirmed that she was pregnant.
