The Super Bowl LVII gave fans the drama, the thrill of an exciting game, and entertainment through Rihanna’s stunning performance. Kansas City and the Philadelphia Eagles went head-to-head against each other in an energetic 38-35 shootout. It was also a historic game, considering for the first time two Black quarterbacks started a Super Bowl matchup. Even though the game favored the Chiefs at the end of the game, they were not doing very well before halftime. To shed more light on that, the team’s star QB, Patrick Mahomes, revealed what the head coach of the team told them before the dazzling performance of Rihanna.

The Grammy-winning singer stayed away from the stage for almost seven years. But the business tycoon made her comeback during Super Bowl’s halftime performance. The 13-minute show included her greatest hits. She was elevated into the air and sang her seven-time platinum song ‘Diamond’ as well. Every fan and celebrity was in awe of the star singer. However, the Chiefs players could not see Rihanna belt out her outstanding songs. And who was responsible for that? Head coach Andy Reid.

Fans reacted to a shocking confession Patrick Mahomes made about Reid

The Philadelphia Eagles started out very well. Things started looking bleak for Kansas City after Mahomes sustained a nasty tackle that re-aggravated his sprained ankle. KC was at 24-14. Therefore, coach Reid warned the players to not go out to watch the halftime show. And if they dared to go, the coach would have benched the players.

Fans had various reactions to the confession. While some people loved Rihanna’s performance, many did not really enjoy it because they accused her of lip-syncing instead of singing live.

Another fan who did not find RiRi’s performance extraordinary wrote.

Tight end Travis Kelce accepted his team did not play their best before halftime. Hence, it was important for players to play out of their character. “We were just able to regroup at halftime and figure it out.”

This fan liked what Reid imposed on the players.

A fan cannot believe that the head coach had fired the lead QB for watching Rihanna perform.

For this fan, last year’s show was the best. The act even won an Emmy for Outstanding Variety Special (Live).

Even though Mahomes and Co did not get to watch RiRi live, they can now after winning the ultimate title. The threats of the coach did wonders for them.
