In front of more than 70,000 spectators, the California team made their lightning favorite in the 56th edition of the Super Bowl. Although the 13-20 deficit should have been adjusted for that, after the Rams just advanced 13-10 halfway. Cuper Cobb was named Man of the Match.
This was the third time the Bengals had lost an NFL Final, after 1982 and 1989. In 2019, the Los Angeles Rams held the lead in the final fight. They then lost to the New England Patriots to star Tom Brady. This quarterback went on to win his Super Bowl seven with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2021. Brady recently ended his career at the age of 44.
In the United States, nearly 100 million Americans watch the Super Bowl each year. Thus, the most expensive commercial during the mid-game break has cost more than 6 million euros this year.
During this year’s Break program, six famous rappers performed: Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar, plus a surprising acting 50 Cent. They mainly played their old songs. Eminem knelt after his performance: the now known gesture against racism in American football made by former player and activist Colin Kaepernick.
This was the first time hip-hop artists had topped a Super Bowl halftime show. It is exciting every year to have great artist(s) on stage during a prestigious show. Previously, Bruce Springsteen, Michael Jackson, Prince, Rolling Stones, U2, Beyoncé, Madonna, Jennifer Lopez and Lady Gaga have performed during the break.
At a press conference before the Super Bowl, the rapper noted that it was time for hip-hop music during the Super Bowl. So said Dr. Dre: “This should have happened a long time ago. Hip-hop is the biggest music genre in the world right now. So it’s crazy that it took so long to get to know us.”
