With the Kansas City Chiefs’ win in Super Bowl LVII, social media was abuzz with hilarious reactions, memes, and commentary. From witty jokes about Rihanna’s halftime show to exaggerated disappointment and anger over potential plays and missed calls, fans took to their keyboards to share their thoughts and emotions. Whether you were rooting for the Chiefs or the Eagles, one thing was clear — the real MVP of the night was the internet, serving up a never-ending stream of entertainment.

Rihanna’s Super Bowl halftime show and announcement is breaking the internet

This year’s Super Bowl was a historic event that saw two Black men start at quarterback for the first time in the history of the NFL’s championship showdown.

NFL spent two years growing grass for this?

This year’s Super Bowl was hosted at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona with officials boasting the natural grass field being used. However, it was apparent during the game that the field has a personal vendetta against the players. Viewers on social media were quick to point out how awful the field conditions have been throughout. Reminder, the National Football League spent two years growing the grass for the field.

The halftime memes were so good

The main attraction of Super Bowl LVII wasn’t the Eagles or the Chiefs—it was Rihanna. The nine-time Grammy-winning pop star was the headliner for this year’s halftime show and fans on social media made it clear that they’re watching the Big Game for one reason only.

Rihanna’s 15-minute set featured classic songs across the singer’s discography including “Where Have You Been”, “Only Girl in the World”, “We Found Love”, “Rude Boy”, “Work”, “Wild Wild”, “Blow it Up”, “All of the Lights”, “Run this Town”, “Umbrella” and “Diamonds”.

Is Patrick Mahomes hurt?

The Chiefs wouldn’t grab the lead until late in the 3rd quarter. Up until that point, things were dicey, especially after Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes re-injured his ankle before the end of halftime. Chiefs fans were sent into a spiral on social media, anxious to see if their MVP would come back to the game. Luckily, the magic of Rihanna’s halftime show brought Mahomes back onto the field to start the second half.

Who wrote this year’s script?

Ever since Arian Foster’s half-serious assertion on the PFT podcast that the NFL scripts their games, fans have taken to the internet to mock the idea that the league prewrites the game. It’s been no different for the Super Bowl as viewers have pointed out just how great it was to watch the game this year.

Anti-climatic ending

For what was such an fantastic game through four quarters, the game ended with a whimper as the Chiefs ran down the clock to kick in the game-winning field goal. Even with 8 seconds on the clock, the Eagles couldn’t muster a comeback, and fans (excluding the Chiefs) were disappointed with what is a considerably lame ending. With the 38-35 win, Mahomes and head coach Andy Reid win a second championship just two years after their first in 2019.

Some on social media have pointed out that game was given to the Chiefs by the refs after a crucial defensive holding call was called on the Eagles, putting Mahomes and crew in range to kick the game-winning field goal. Athletes across all sports had something to say about that call.
