Super Bowl LVI did not disappoint. This game was a thriller that came down to the final minutes, exactly how the final game of the NFL season should be.
The Los Angeles Rams faced off against the Cincinnati Bengals Sunday in Inglewood, California.
This is the second consecutive year that the team hosting the Super Bowl has ended up playing and later winning the Super Bowl. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers did it last year.
The Los Angeles Rams came out victorious, 23-20, scoring the go-ahead touchdown with 1:25 left in the game on a back shoulder fade to Cooper Kupp, the Super Bowl MVP.
This year’s Super Bowl was better than last year’s in all aspects. The halftime show had an amazing line-up featuring Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Eminem, 50 Cent, Kendrick Lamar and Mary J. Blige.
All are superstars in their own professions and did not disappoint. They had what some would say is the best halftime performance in Super bowl history, which is saying a lot considering the historic shows we have had in the past.
Another reason I would prefer this year’s Super Bowl over last year’s is the commercials. A 30-second commercial this year cost $7 million. It is a big focal point on what fans want to see in the Super Bowl. The commercials were major upgrades from what we had in the past.
You could tell that the companies put in effort to make these commercials worth their money, but also to entertain the fans watching worldwide.
My favorite one was this commercial for the metaverse coming out in the near future. It showed you what you can do with it and how happy it made the customer who was using it. The customer connected from home with friends as any avatar the imagination desires.
The Super Bowl is the biggest football game played in the world, and it is always a highly anticipated football game worldwide.
