Over 100 million people are likely watching Super Bowl LX between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks.
And many of them are not happy.

In the opening quarter, the Seahawks showed some aggression on offense but were stopped in the red zone, forcing a field goal. After that, though, it was secondary blitzes and several three-and-outs with both sides flexing their defensive muscles.
The lack of offense continued in the second half, with the Seahawks even going for a simple run on third and long in the red zone to set up a field goal. Both teams bet on their defenses to be the stars of the game.
Drake Maye was sacked repeatedly in the first half, and the Patriots waved the white flag on several drives just to punt the ball downfield and force Sam Darnold to beat them.
Every time one team could be getting on a bit of a drive, an errant throw or a surprise blitz would force another punt to hit the field.
In total, there were eight punts in the first half.
Viewers on social media didn't hold back their thoughts on the game.
As both teams head into the locker room for the next half hour, as Bad Bunny takes the stage for the halftime show, fans will hope there is some more drama and action come the second half.
