Last Sunday, February 12, the entire nation was glued to their television to watch the biggest sporting event of the year – The Super Bowl. The Kansas City Chiefs snatched a narrow victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, and it was all due to their star quarterback’s terrific performance in the second half. Leading in the first half, the Eagles fans were excited about their imminent victory, before things took a U-turn in the second half. One such Eagles fan, a bodybuilding beast, later revealed his disappointment with the game, and how he came so close to blaming the Chiefs for playing Mahomes despite his injury.

The 4X Mr. Olympia champion later shared what upset him about the game, on his podcast. He also credited Patrick Mahomes‘ supremacy as a quarterback, even with his ankle sprain, as the reason the Chiefs could bounce back.

What did you think of the Super Bowl?”, asked Manager Matt on the Cutler Cast podcast. Cutler responded, “I was really disappointed man. The Eagles came out strong, and I, you know I was gonna lay it all on Mahomes and the Chiefs… he had an injury you know, had a high ankle strain, that they were talking about. I know in athletics when you are that talented, it’s kind of hard to hold someone… The quarterbacks win the Super Bowl you know”, revealing his conflict with the Chiefs’ plan to play Mahomes despite his injury.

But Mahomes’ performance in turn surprised everyone. Cutler continued, “But hurts… Man, I was a little disappointed, I almost pulled the trigger to go the Chiefs way, and you know at the end I kinda just looked at the Eagles… It was a nail-biter. It came down to the end, It came down to the wire”. While an overall exciting experience, Cutler’s enjoyable moment on Sunday, was during the halftime performance, which otherwise left NFL fans disappointed.

Rihanna’s halftime performance was the saving grace for Cutler on Sunday

Global sensation Rihanna performed at the Super Bowl halftime show and it disappointed NFL fans with a certain move the Barbadian singer pulled off. The 34-year-old singer chose the track ‘B**ch Better Have My Money’ to start off her performance, but then went on to lip-sync for the most part of that song. Fans, who looked forward to this performance all year long, didn’t spare the singer with their harsh criticism online.

The performance itself created huge waves, both negative and positive, besides the game. However, Cutler praised the Umbrella singer as one of the GOATs who performed some of the feel-good songs he enjoyed. While he could not experience his preferred team lifting the Vince Lombardi trophy, a healthy dose of Rihanna’s songs definitely gave him a moment to enjoy.
