"Kendrick Lamar just murdered Drake in front of 120 million people" - Ex-Eagles LB delivers verdict on Super Bowl halftime show

The Philadelphia Eagles entered the Super Bowl LIX halftime with a huge advantage over the Kansas City Chiefs. In a rematch of two seasons ago, Jalen Hurts' team dominated through all areas, taking a 24-0 score before Kendrick Lamar took the stage for the halftime show.

Kendrick was chosen as the performer for this year, and the West Coast rapper did not disappoint. Fresh off his new album, he performed many of his new songs, mingling with some performances involving SZA, including their hit "All The Stars."

However, the biggest moment from Kendrick's performance happened when he played "Not Like Us", a song related to his beef with fellow rapper Drake. The entire stadium sang along to Lamar's famous line "and it's probably a minor", one of the best lines of the beef between the two rappers.

Former NFL linebacker Emmanuel Acho echoed the sentiment around the song, stating that Kendrick "murdered Drake in front of 120 million people":

The extended break did no favors for the Chiefs, who could not get back into the game after Lamar's performance. The contest ended with a 40-22 victory for the Philadelphia Eagles, who won their second-ever Super Bowl ring.

Emmanuel Acho outlines reasons for Eagles' Super Bowl LIX win vs. Chiefs

Acho, who played for the Eagles in his career, highlighted some of the reasons that took Philadelphia to their second Super Bowl victory. Defeating the Kansas City Chiefs is no easy task, especially in the playoffs, but Nick Sirianni's team managed to do it.

Vic Fangio's game plan also deserves praise. The Eagles' defensive coordinator did not send a single blitz against Patrick Mahomes, but was still able to constantly pressure him and cause turnovers. Mahomes threw two interceptions during the game and also suffered a strip-sack while trying to evade pressure.

Philadelphia was the better team for the entire game. Even though Kansas City had won the previous two championships, the game proved that there was a disparity in level between the two franchises. For the ultra-competitive Jalen Hurts, winning against Mahomes in the Super Bowl surely tasted a bit better.
