Jason Derulo's Super Bowl pre-game performance was ____?

Did we see that coming... or not? Wait, you can't be dancing with robot dogs lol. That was some sight, a weird one. He is a great performer, no doubt about that, but the performance was simply alright. Expect a lot of memes around the dogs though.

Rihanna explains performing at the Super Bowl 57

"I have not been able to do that [overcoming the thought of over 100 million people watching her perform]. But really, my gut is the thing that led me through this. You're gonna be able to feel the energy of that entire stadium. The rumblings are gonna be there the entire time. It's exciting. It's exhilarating. It's the Super Bowl."

Rihanna reflects on her decision to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show

"Did I say yes? Am I really doing this? Or is this probably one craziest decision I've ever made. And I had not been on tour for seven years. So to go from that to Super Bowl, it was one of those things that I knew would be a challenge. And that's what enticed me."

What happened the last time Patrick Mahomes faced a Vic Fangio defense? Analyzing MVP's record

Vic Fangio is also a big fan of Patrick Mahomes

Fangio once said

"With a guy like this, you have to defend two plays: the one they've called and then the one he might create. That makes it tough .. He's the great passer, the great improviser. He plays with a lot of athletic arrogance, which is a compliment. He's very confident in his ability. He's very poised; he doesn't get rattled and he's got an arm that is really, really good. You can tell he's a gamer. The guy is really, really special."

Meet Eagles' secret weapon who signed a two-week deal just to beat Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs

Our feature writer Adam Hulse writes:

The short-term hiring of Fangio makes sense for the Eagles, especially considering his familiarity with their next opponent. He has faced off against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs six times while he was with the Broncos, their AFC West division rivals. Fangio knows Mahomes' game as well as just about any other opposing coach, due to their frequency of meetings.

Meet Super Bowl 2023 national anthem singer - Chris Stapleton

Super Bowl 2023 will begin with the national anthem, where eight-time Grammy Award winner Chris Stapleton will perform. Stapleton is an American singer-songwriter who has been credited with writing and co-writing over 170 songs. Before beginning his solo career, he was the lead vocal artist in two bands, The SteelDrivers, and The Jompson Brothers. His debut studio album, "Traveller," which he released in 2015 to tremendous acclaim, landed at number one on the US Billboard 200. It was given four times platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA)."

Who will perform at the Super Bowl halftime show?

Barbados' famous singer Rihanna is the sole confirmed performer for today's Super Bowl game. Rihanna is a multiplatinum-selling singer and the recipient of several Grammy Awards.

Rihanna's booking is yet another win for the NFL, as they are on a row with top-notch halftime show performers. Last year, they brought Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar to the party. It remains to be seen what other surprises the league has in store.
