What is the Super Bowl?

The Super Bowl is the annual championship game for the National Football League (NFL). It is the culmination of a four-game exhibition preseason, 16-game regular season, and a single-elimination postseason.

The Super Bowl typically lasts 3-4 hours, including the analysis shows before and after the game, and the game itself. A regulation NFL game consists of four 15-minute quarters. After the game’s first two quarters, there is typically a 12-minute intermission. This is referred to as halftime. However, the Super Bowl boasts an extended halftime period, upwards of 30 minutes.

During halftime of the Super Bowl, the NFL typically presents an extravagant musical performance. In recent years, the halftime performances have featured popular artists such as Beyonce, The Weeknd, Bruno Mars, and Lady Gaga. According to CBS, the 2021 Super Bowl was watched by 96.4 million people across TV and streaming outlets.

Highlight of the 2021 Super Bowl

Super Bowl LV 2021 was the championship game of the National Football League (NFL) for the 2020 NFL season. The National Football Conference (NFC) champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the American Football Conference (AFC) champion Kansas City Chiefs, 31–9.

The game took place on February 7, 2021, at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, the home stadium of the Buccaneers, marking the first time that a team played a Super Bowl in its home stadium. Due to COVID-19 protocols limiting the stadium’s seating capacity to 25,000 fans, it was the least-attended Super Bowl.

The Buccaneers’ victory was their second and made them the only team other than the Baltimore Ravens to be undefeated in multiple Super Bowls.

How Kansas Lost the Super Bowl 2021

Kansas City entered the game favored to win but was undone by offensive struggles and costly penalties. For the first time under quarterback Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs failed to score a touchdown and lost by double-digits, making them the third Super Bowl team to not score a touchdown.

They committed 11 penalties for 120 yards, including a record eight penalties for 95 yards in the first half, most of which were called against the defense.

The Buccaneers capitalized on these mistakes to take a commanding 21–6 lead at halftime and dominated the remainder of the game.

Brady, who also extended his player records for Super Bowl appearances at 10 and wins at seven, was named Super Bowl MVP for a record fifth time and was the first to receive the award with multiple franchises.

He became the oldest player to receive the honor and win a Super Bowl as the starting quarterback, breaking additional personal records, while Bruce Arians was the oldest head coach to win the Super Bowl at 68.
