Philadelphia Eagles have romped home to victory, winning 40-22 against the Kansas City Chiefs at the Super Bowl LIX, Sunday.
The crushing defeat also snatches the Chiefs' hopes of a historic three-peat, following their consecutive Super Bowl wins.
The Eagles dominated early in game, at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, as the Chiefs' offense looked out of sorts and struggled to score a single point.
By half time, the Eagles had built up a historic 24-0 lead.
The Chiefs finally made the board in the third quarter, but they were never able to catch up. The Philadelphia defense kept Patrick Mahomes under pressure, and the defending champs' defense wasn't able to keep pace with Jalen Hurts and company.
KC managed to tack on some additional points in the fourth quarter to make things look a bit more respectable, but it was too little, too late. The Eagles were able to see out the final frame and ultimate to kneel it out to clich the Lombardi Trophy.
What to know
- Taylor Swift, who was at the game to cheer on her Chiefs boyfriend Travis Kelce, was in for further disappointment when she received a cold welcome from NFL fans, many of whom booed her when she was shown on the stadium's big screens.
- Donald Trump made history when he became the first sitting president in U.S. history to attend a Super Bowl. Trump, who was spotted saluting during the national anthem, has also given a pre-game interview where he announced he plans to unleash Elon Musk, as head of DOGE, on the military.
- Grammy-winner Kendrick Lamar was joined by SZR and dozens of dancers for the half time show at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, where he performed hits such as "Not Like Us" and "TV Off."
- Earlier this afternoon Lauren Daigle performed "America The Beautiful," and Jon Batiste performed the national anthem. R&B, jazz, and soul singer Ledisi sang "Lift Every Voice and Sing."

Patrick Mahomes reacts to Chiefs losing Super Bowl LIX
Super Bowl LIX is over, and the Kansas City Chiefs were routed by the Philadelphia Eagles. The final score of 40-22 was far less indicative of what took place on the field.
The Eagles were firmly in control through all four quarters, and the Chiefs were simply outclassed. Now, star quarterback Patrick Mahomes has reacted to losing the big game
Mahomes took to X to speak out on losing the big game. As a true leader, he took the loss on himself but promised to be better.
"Appreciate all the love and support from #ChiefsKingdom I let y'all down today. I'll always continue to work and try and learn and be better for it. Want to give thanks to God for every opportunity he has given me. We will be back," Mahomes' post reads.

Protester who waved Palestinian flag was Kendrick Lamar dancer
A protester who waved a Palestinian and Sudanese flag during the half time show was one of Kendrick Lamar's 400-strong cast of performers.
"The individual hid the item on his person and unveiled it late in the show," the NFL said in a statement. "No one involved with the production was aware of the individual's intent."
The man, who has not yet been identified, has since been banned for life from all NFL stadiums and events.

Nick Foles takes major shot at Tom Brady following Eagles Super Bowl win
...
The Philadelphia Eagles dominated the Kansas City Chiefs to halt the historic three-peat from happening. It was a brutal showing for Kansas City throughout the entire night and Philadelphia got their redemption from two seasons ago.
It was the second Super Bowl win for the Eagles in franchise history, with the first coming back in 2017. Philadelphia took down the New England Patriots, with quarterback Nick Foles outplaying legend Tom Brady in the process.
After the Eagles win, Foles took to social media and took a massive shot at Brady. The former quarterback seemed to be trolling the legend in the best way possible.
"It's really cool that Tom Brady got to be there for the Eagles' two Super Bowl wins! He might be a good luck charm.
"Have a great night!"

Fly, Eagles Fly!
On the road to victory!
E-A-G-L-E-S!
EAGLES!!!

‘Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning’ drops trailer during Super Bowl LIX
Football fans aren't the only ones celebrating on Super Bowl Sunday — movie fans are rejoicing over their latest look at Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning.
The Tom Cruise flick aired another trailer on Sunday, February 9 during Super Bowl LIX. The 30-second clip was packed with plenty of action as Cruise, 62, and Ethan Hunt performed insane stunts on land, in water and even in the sky.
The first trailer for the eighth installment of the Mission Impossible franchise dropped in November, and it teased the movie's title.
This film is a follow up to Dead Reckoning which also starred Esai Morales.
Morales, Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Vanessa Kirby, Pom Klementieff, and Henry Czerny are all set to reprise their roles.
Angela Bassett, who played Erika Sloane in Mission: Impossible — Fallout, will also make an appearance.
Nick Offerman, Hannah Waddingham, Katy O'Brian, Holt McCallany, Tramell Tillman and Janet McTeer are set to make their first appearances as well.

Super Bowl LIX MVP: Did they get it right?
The Philadelphia Eagles are Super Bowl champions once again.
The Eagles pounded the Kansas City Chiefs on the biggest stage in all of sports, 40-22.
While the Eagles were dialed in on all three phases, all credit will go to, and rightfully so, to the quarterback, specifically Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts.
Hurts not only won his first-ever Super Bowl title, but he came away with the Super Bowl MVP trophy as well.

Biggest winners from Eagles routing of Chiefs
...
There is a lot that happened in the biggest game of the year.
Here is a look at the biggest winners from Super Bowl LIX:
Jalen Hurts
Jalen Hurts played one of the best games of his young career and showed up when it mattered. Though he had a costly interception early on, Hurts played some fantastic football.
When the Chiefs silenced Barkley on the ground, Hurts stepped in to secure chunk yardage on the ground. Hurts literally and figuratively ran away with the Super Bowl MVP award, and for good reason.
Vic Fangio
Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio returned to the Eagles after a short stint with the Miami Dolphins. Despite the consensus being that he was a tough and older mind, Fangio turned Philadelphia's defensive unit into one of the most feared.
The Eagles' defense was all over Mahomes and the offense, stifling their playmaking ability at every turn. This was pure dominance, and Fangio coached this unit to absolute perfection.
Nick Sirianni
Nick Siranni had a lot to fix the last time the Eagles faced the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. The final score of 38-35 had to sting, and that could be the motivation he needed to correct his coaching to allow him to take down his biggest adversary.
The Eagles have been to two Super Bowls under Sirianni, and are now 1-1 in those appearances. Philadelphia was being counted out by a lot of people, but they showed up in the biggest way possible.
Sirianni was also on the "hot seat." Now, that seat had better be the coolest thing on the planet.
Saquon Barkley
Saquon Barkley went from being essentially dumped by the New York Giants, to having a career year with the Eagles. He secured 2,005 rushing yards in the regular season, and secured the record for the most rushing yards in a single season, beating Terrell Owens.
Barkley transformed the Eagles' offense into a monster that many couldn't stop. That was clearly the case for the Chiefs in the biggest game of the season. Despite keeping him under 100 yards on the ground, he still made an impact.

Biggest losers from Eagles routing of Chiefs
...
In what was the most shocking twist of the 2024 NFL season, the Kansas City Chiefs were completely routed by the Philadelphia Eagles. The entire football-loving world thought the game would be far closer, but the Chiefs looked lost throughout the entire affair.
Here is a look at the biggest losers from Super Bowl LIX:
The Chiefs
It's hard to imagine the Chiefs being embarrassed in a game, let alone the biggest game of the season. The 2024 season saw Kansas City battle it out with practically every opponent, winning by one score or less in multiple games. This time, they faced too strong of an opponent to win by one score, or even score more than once.
Patrick Mahomes
Patrick Mahomes looked lost through most of the game, and the Chiefs' offensive line apparently forgot how to protect the team's most valuable asset. Mahomes took over five sacks, and couldn't find any time to make plays consecutively.
Mahomes and company were able to get some plays going in the third quarter, which was their lone touchdown, but that was nowhere near enough.
Mahomes can often figure out ways to score, but he has been under duress so much that he looked nothing like his normal self.
Travis Kelce
There were rumors that Travis Kelce was considering retirement following a win at the Super Bowl. Considering the Chiefs were completely routed, it would be tragic if Kelce were to walk away from his career with such a terrible loss.
Steve Spagnuolo
Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo is typically one of the best defensive minds in the game. It is his coaching mind that has led to the Chiefs coming away with so many close victories.
Super Bowl LIX was not his shining moment. The Chiefs' defense couldn't stop the Eagles at all, though they do get points for keeping Saquon Barkley under 100 yards.

Eagles Win Super Bowl LIX: Is Jalen Hurts Philadelphia’s GOAT?
The Philadelphia Eagles dethroned the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 and are the new champions of the football world with their Super Bowl LIX victory.
As they fell to Kansas City in Super Bowl LVII, quarterback Jalen Hurts infamously made his phone wallpaper an image of himself walking off the field in defeat.
"I don't need a screensaver to remind me of anything," said the now-Super Bowl champion, "but it's there."
The pain was there. The motivation to come back stronger was there. Now finally, the redemption is here.

Instant reactions to Eagles routing Chiefs
...
The Philadelphia Eagles stunned the football world Sunday night. Although Super Bowl LIX was poised to be a competitive matchup, the Eagles routed the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in a commanding win.
The Chiefs had the opportunity to make NFL history and become the first team ever to win three consecutive championships. Nevertheless, the Eagles spoiled those plans.
It was a storybook ending for Philadelphia, a team that had faced the Chiefs just two seasons ago in the Super Bowl and lost. History was also not in the Eagles' favor as quarterback rematches in the Super Bowl always had the same signal-caller winning both games (such as Tom Brady-Eli Manning). But Jalen Hurts rewrote the narrative in Super Bowl LIX's quarterback rematch.
The Chiefs entered the game as favorites to win, making the Eagles' blowout victory even more shocking. The Eagles took a convincing early 24-0 and never looked back following Kendrick Lamar's halftime performance. The Chiefs had won close games all season long, and could never catch up to the Eagles.
Although there was plenty of football left to play, Philadelphia had cemented themselves as the dominant squad by halftime. The Chiefs offensive line failed quarterback Patrick Mahomes, as he was sacked a multiple times throughout the matchup.

How Elon Musk’s company Starlink is involved in Super Bowl commercial
Elon Musk's company, Starlink, appeared in a T-Mobile advertisement during the Super Bowl 2025.
The commercial focuses on how T-Mobile partnered with Starlink, a satellite network owned by the 53-year-old billionaire's company, SpaceX, to expand phone coverage in a unique way.
The narrator in the one-minute video states, "T-Mobile partnered with Starlink to launch hundreds of satellites, creating the only space-based Network that automatically connects to the phone you already have."
The video showcases images of Earth from space as different clips capturing life moments like a mother holding a baby, a basketball game, and an infant taking her first steps. Additionally, text bubbles pop up on the screen with messages like "Why isn't this sending??" and "Are you getting these videos?" The narrator explains that many vital messages go undelivered because "there are over 500,000 square miles of the US unreachable by any cell phone tower."
The ad was posted on YouTube, and in the caption, the mobile provider shared more details about their work with the Tesla founder's company.
"T-Mobile is taking wireless to the next level- literally, powered by Starlink. 📡✨ We're expanding our network like never before—so you can experience coverage in more places than ever," the caption read. "With T-Mobile's satellite-to-mobile technology, you can turn your phone into a satellite phone and stay connected in places you never thought possible."
The caption further read, "From rugged mountain peaks to remote lakes, we're pushing the boundaries of connectivity—bringing you closer to the moments that matter. If you can see the sky, you're connected. No more missed moments. No more unanswered messages."

Hailee Steinfeld stars in Super Bowl LIX breast cancer awareness commercial
Hailee Steinfeld knows a thing or two about the limelight — and now she wants to use her platform to raise awareness for a special cause.
The 28-year-old actress and cancer survivor Wanda Sykes starred in a Super Bowl 2025 commercial for Novratis to bring attention to breast cancer.
"It's been on my bucket list to be in a Super Bowl commercial," Steinfeld told USA TODAY Sports. "I cannot think of one that I could possibly feel more proud and honored to be apart of than this with Novartis."
n the company's first Super Bowl ad, cheerleaders and women of all types are shown living their lives — with a focus on their chest areas and breasts. It also shows Steinfeld on the red carpet and closes with Sykes speaking on a field.
"So much attention. Yet ignored," the ad stated towards the end. "Over 6 million women watching today's game may be diagnosed with breast cancer."
Unfortunately for fans, Steinfeld did not wear her new engagement ring in the ad.

Kanye West appears in Super Bowl ad for Yeezy
...
Kanye "Ye" West has appeared in a Super Bowl ad for Yeezy.
"I spent all the money for the commercial on these new teeth, so, once again, I had to shoot it on the iPhone," Ye says in the ad.
The ad aired days after Ye posted a series of antisemitic remarks on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), calling himself "a Nazi" and describing Adolf Hitler as "fresh," on Friday.
Ye has a documented history of hate speech, particularly targeting Jewish people. He was previously suspended from X (then Twitter) for violating the platform's rules prohibiting incitement to violence. One post in December 2022 showed an image of a swastika blended with a Star of David
He also announced he had "dominion," over his wife Bianca Censori, after their appearance at the 2025 Grammy Awards last Sunday sparked concerns about Censori's agency over her own behavior and welfare.

The internet reacts to Kendrick Lamar’s 2025 Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show
Rap superstar Kendrick Lamar delivered a headline-grabbing performance at Super Bowl LIX's halftime show, prominently featuring his controversial hit song "Not Like Us" - a direct diss of fellow rapper Drake. The performance, which took place at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, included appearances by SZA, Samuel L. Jackson and tennis champion Serena Williams, drawing immediate viral reaction across social media platforms.
The highly anticipated performance marks an unprecedented moment in Super Bowl history, bringing an ongoing high-profile hip-hop feud to America's most-watched television event.
Noted hip-hop icon Flavor Flav on X, capturing the crowd's participation during the controversial moment: "The way the WHOLE stadium just yelled 'A MINOOOOOOOOOORRRRR"
ESPN's Stephen A. Smith praised the performance on X: "OMG.....OMG...... @kendricklamar did it. Not only did he rock the beat of 'Not Like Us'......he sang the lyrics. He did it. Mentioned 'Drake' by name too. Awwwww Damn! Helluva halftime show."
Radio host Courtney Theriault offered a satirical take: "Expecting an executive order from Trump after the Kendrick Lamar's performance that would enshrine Kid Rock as the permanent Super Bowl halftime performer."
A fan on X highlighted the significance of Williams' appearance: "Kendrick bringing out serena williams to crip walk after drake stalked that woman publicly for years and obsessively threw shots at her for turning him down is so wild, that man is the definition of chaotic good"
"Kendrick really out here calling out Drake at the Super Bowl," wrote one viewer, while another X user noted, "Lmaoooooo the way he looked at the camera before that 'hey Drake.'"
Artist JPEGMAFIA summed up the night's performance on X: "Its over. Never beef with kendrick"

What Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX jacket represents
...
Kendrick Lamar used symbolism to his advantage during his Super Bowl LIX performance.
The 37-year-old rapper wore a jacket stating "Gloria" across the front of it in reference to a track on his 2024 album, GNX. SZA, who performed with him at the Super Bowl, is featured on the track.
"Gloria" — which also means "glory" in Spanish — nods at the glory he has received in his career thus far and also serves as a metaphor for his songs.
Fans seemed to be divided on the look, as many praised him on X (formerly known as Twitter).
"Kendrick Lamar wearing female Levi's pants is kinda crazy but that jacket is fire," one person commented.
"Is Kendrick Lamar sporting a Florida Gator jacket??" another chimed in.
A third wrote, "I need that jacket Kendrick Lamar got on!"

Just about everyone in the stadium expected the Eagles to run the ball and kill some clock, but Jalen Hurts uncorked a big-time pass to stretch Philly's lead to an incredible 34-0.
Sports fans will know that you can never say never, but that should make the rest of the game a mere technicality. The Chiefs, for all their talent, simply haven't been able to string anything together on offense.

Super Bowl Halftime Show recap
Super Bowl halftime shows have had everything — flying pop stars, surprise reunions, and even dancing sharks. But this year? Kendrick Lamar took the stage and made it his own.
On Sunday, February 9, the 37-year-old award-winning musician took the stage at Caesars Superdome for the Super Bowl LIX halftime show. With the Kansas City Chiefs facing off against the Philadelphia Eagles, Lamar delivered a performance that had the entire stadium locked in.
The show kicked off with an introduction from Samuel L. Jackson before the "B****, Don't Kill My Vibe" rapper opened with a snippet of an unreleased track. He then performed "Squabble Up," the second track from his latest album GNX. From there, he transitioned into "HUMBLE," a three-time Grammy-winning track from his 2017 album DAMN.
Lamar kept the set moving with "DNA.," another track from DAMN. He then performed "Euphoria," the first diss track he released against Drake in 2024, before shifting to "Man at the Garden" and "Peekaboo" from his latest album GNX.

What did Travis Kelce say about Trump?
During a pre-Super Bowl press conference on Wednesday, February 5, the 35-year-old Kansas City Chiefs tight end was asked how he felt about Trump attending the big game this upcoming Sunday.
"That's awesome. It's a great honor," Kelce shared with the press, including People. "I think you know, no matter who the president is, I know I'm excited because it's the biggest game of my life, you know, and having the president there — it's the best country in the world — and that's pretty cool."
Yet his girlfriend, Taylor Swift clearly disagrees when it comes to Trump. She publicly denounced him in her 2020 Miss Americana documentary, expressing regret for not speaking out against him sooner. When warned that opposing him could cost her "half" her fanbase, she didn't back down. "I don't care if they write that," she said. "I need to be on the right side of history."
The Grammy winner has also taken direct shots at Trump on social media, declaring in May 2020, that "we will vote you out in November."
Fast forward to 2024, and Swift made her stance clear once again. After endorsing Kamala Harris for president, Trump wasted no time firing back. "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!" he wrote on Truth Social at the time.

Taylor Swift and Donald Trump on collision course at Super Bowl
Taylor Swift and President Donald Trump are both at the Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans, the first time they have been in the same place at the same time.
Arguably the two most famous Americans in the world, the two have been critical of each other publicly since 2018.
Swift made her first political endorsement in 2018. She endorsed Democratic candidates Phil Bredesen and Jim Cooper in the midterm elections of that year in her home state of Tennessee in a highly publicized Instagram post.
Trump responded to Swift's endorsements at the time and told reporters that he liked "Taylor's music about 35 percent less now."
Swift had avoided making political statements prior to the 2018 endorsements and told Time magazine in 2012: "I don't think that I know enough yet in life to be telling people who to vote for." Since 2018, Swift has vocally supported the Democratic Party, backing Joe Biden for president in 2020 and Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024.
She made her official endorsement of Harris shortly after the presidential debate in an Instagram post. Afterward, Trump shared criticism of Swift, saying: "A very liberal person. She seems to always endorse a Democrat. And she'll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace."
He then escalated his rhetoric, posting on Truth Social "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT."
In August 2024, Trump shared a fake image of Swift endorsing his campaign, something she addressed in her endorsement of Harris, saying it had "Conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation."

Who won Puppy Bowl 2025? Here’s what to know about the fluffy competition
Animal Planet's Puppy Bowl XXI ended on Sunday as Team Fluff took home the win with 68-66 over Team Ruff, subsequently ending one of the fluffiest competitions of the year.
It kicked off Sunday afternoon with 142 rescue pup athletes from 80 shelters across 40 states, and even two countries as Team Ruff and Team Fluff competed for the coveted Lombarky Trophy in what Warner Bros. Discovery calls the "cutest competition of the year."
Playful energy was in high gear as Foxtrot, a cheerful Border Collie mix from Pet Haven in Minneapolis, scored the first score of the game for Team Ruff, later scoring the second touchdown. Scoring early on in the game earned Foxtrot a spot as a MVP contender.
However, Team Fluff was not going to let Foxtrot go down without a fight as Paws Allen, a Labrador retriever mix from Buddy's Second Chance Rescue in Buffalo, New York, who is a tug-of-war champ, helped his team score in the first quarter.

Trump’s pre-Super Bowl interview: Threatens to unleash Musk, DOGE on military
In a pre-taped interview set to air before the Super Bowl, President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that he would direct Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to review military spending as well as the Department of Education (DOE).
Musk and his DOGE team, which is an unofficial task force created by executive order, have upended federal institutions as they seek to gut what Trump and Republicans have alleged is gross overspending and mismanagement of funds.
In the pre-taped interview with Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier, Trump revealed that he is set to turn Musk loose on the Pentagon and the DOE.
"I don't know if it's kickbacks or what's going on, but the people—look, I ran on this, and the people want me to find it, and I've had a great help with Elon Musk, who's been terrific," Trump said, adding that Musk "is not gaining anything" through his work at DOGE.
Trump added: "Then I'm going to tell him, very soon, like, maybe in 24 hours, to go check through the Department of Education. He's going to find the same thing. Then I'm going to go to the military, let's check the military. We're going to find billions, hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud and abuse, the people elected me on that."
Trump said he would give the order possibly within 24 hours to hit the DOE, but no timeline for when he might order a review of the military. Democrats have pushed back on a number of his previous orders with lawsuits, and they may do the same to try and protect the education department.

Super Bowl commercials expected to shy away from politics
Today is Super Bowl Sunday and advertisers are steering clear of political messages in their multi-million-dollar commercials. Instead of tackling controversial topics, brands are betting on safer strategies to win over the massive viewing audience.
This year's ads will showcase celebrities, tap into nostalgia, and aim for laughs - reflecting a broader trend of companies choosing entertainment over social commentary during America's biggest sporting event.
While the Philadelphia Eagles are battling the Kansas City Chiefs today, nearly one-third of viewers will be watching for the infamous commercials, according to a survey that VegasSlotsOnline provided to Newsweek. More than two in five viewers care more about the Super Bowl Halftime Show, ads and the overall social experience than the game itself, the study found.
"The Super Bowl is no longer just about football; it's a full-scale entertainment event," spokesperson for VegasSlotsOnline previously told Newsweek. "Whether it's the commercials, the Halftime Show, or even social media discussions, brands have more ways than ever to engage audiences beyond the game itself."
This comes as some of this year's 80 ad slots cost have surged to $8 million, as reported by Variety for just 30 seconds of airtime. Companies have paid as much as $4.5 million for pregame ads. Ads typically run from 30 to 60 seconds.

Chiefs’ Chris Jones’ Super Bowl ritual includes meatballs from Steve Spagnuolo’s wife
Every NFL player has rituals they must abide by that they believe provides them with the extra luck needed to win the big game. Kansas City Chiefs star Chris Jones is no different.
Jones ensured that he received a special delivery in preparation for Super Bowl LIX. That delivery is meatballs made by defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo's Wife. Maria Spagnuolo has fed the team many times over, but her meatballs have become a staple for Jones regarding the Super Bowl.
NFL reporter Cameron Wolfe revealed a bit more about the ritual: "Chris Jones has a secret weapon, the meatball of Maria Spagnuolo, the wife of Chiefs' defensive coordinator Spags. Look, she brought them to him on Saturday. He's a big superstition guy. The same cleats, the same gloves, and he needs those meatballs to play well. And now he is ready to feast on the Eagles. He told me priority number one is 'Stop Saquon Barkley..."

Patrick Mahomes raises eyebrows with pre-game outfit choice
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes raised eyebrows as he headed to the Super Bowl in a green suit on Sunday - the color of his rival's team; the Philadelphia Eagles
Fans and commentators have theorized the star player is trying to pull off a power move with his bold suit color.
NFL analyst Nick Wright posted on X: "Mahomes outfit choice is the behavior of a true psychopath and I fully support it."
"Patrick Mahomes is pulling off the ultimate power move: He's wearing a green suit to the Super Bowl," CBS reporter John Breech added on X.
However, there may be a more benign reason why Mahomes has gone green for game day.
During Super Bowl Opening Night on Monday, he told reporters his favorite color was green, after St Patrick's Day.

Pete Davidson is ‘Alien Ambassador’ in Gordon Ramsay’s Super Bowl LIX ad
Fans are calling Gordon Ramsay and Pete Davidson's Super Bowl LIX ad "weird" — in a good way.
The movie-style commercial for HexClad cookware follows celebrity chef Ramsay, 58, as he enters the famed Area 51, a highly-classified slice of the Nevada desert that's the subject of many conspiracy theories about UFOs or "UAPs," as they're now referred to.
Ramsay is hurried back into a classified area after a government agent tells him they've made contact with a new species of alien. "And they're foodies," she sneers. Ramsay sighs and good-naturedly agrees, "Foodies, the worst."
The fiery Kitchen Confidential host is told he'll have to cook for this new alien species—but he'll be equipped with "top-secret alien technology." Ramsay immediately recognizes this as "just a HexClad pan." The agent starts to explain before admonishing that she doesn't have time for a "science lesson," the advertising pitch for the science behind HexClad.
The ads ends with an exchange between Ramsay and the "ambassador" representing the "new alien species," played by comedian Davidson, 31.

Trump says he’s ‘looking forward to joining Super Bowl fans’ in statement: Read in full
...
President Donald Trump is expected to attend the Super Bowl in New Orleans within a matter of hours.
Ahead of his appearance, he released a statement, saying he was looking forward to joining fans for the games, and paid tribute to the victims of the New Orleans terror attack last month.
Trump's statement in full:
"I look forward to joining the fans in New Orleans for Super Bowl LIX to cheer on two great teams—the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles—as they battle for the National Football League's Vince Lombardi Trophy.
"The coaches, players, and team staff on the field tonight represent the best of the best in professional football, but they also embody the best of the American Dream. Their hard work, dedication, and tenacity is admirable, and their individual journeys are as inspiring as the drive and determination that has led them to this extraordinary moment. They also represent the hopes and dreams of our Nation's young athletes as we restore safety and fairness in sports and equal opportunities among their teams.
"Football is America's most popular sport—for good reason—it fosters a sense of national unity, bringing families, friends, and fans together and strengthening communities. This annual tradition transcends our differences and personifies our shared patriotic values of family, faith, and freedom heroically defended by our military service members, law enforcement officers, and first responders. We value their devotion to protecting our great Nation and salute their selfless service.
"This year, the Super Bowl returns to the Caesars Superdome for a record setting 8th time. While thousands of fans from across our Nation gather in New Orleans to cheer on their favorite team, we remember that 14 families will be missing a loved one who was tragically murdered during a senseless terrorist attack while celebrating the New Year on Bourbon Street. Our thoughts are also with the 35 individuals injured during the attack whose lives were changed forever that fateful night, and our prayers will remain with them for continued strength, comfort, and healing.
"Tonight, we look forward to a terrific game and the crowning of the Super Bowl Champions. Melania joins me in sending our best wishes for a great Super Bowl Sunday. May the best team win, and may God bless you, your family, and the United States of America."

What NFL records could be broken this year: Most combined points
Super Bowl LVII saw the Eagles and Chiefs combine for 73 points, ranking third all-time, just behind the 74 points in Super Bowl LII (Eagles vs. Patriots) and 75 points in Super Bowl XXIX (49ers vs. Chargers). With both teams bolstering their rosters with dynamic offensive talent and star performances from Hurts and Mahomes, a new record for combined points could very well be within reach.

What NFL records could be broken this year: Passing yards record
...
Tom Brady holds the Super Bowl passing yard record with 505 yards in Super Bowl LII, also ranking second with 466 yards in Super Bowl LI. Kurt Warner is the only other player within 100 yards of Brady, with two performances. Once again Hurts and Mahomes face a tough challenge to break this record.

What NFL records could be broken this year: Consecutive Pass Completion
Eli Manning set a Super Bowl record in Super Bowl XLVI, completing 10 consecutive passes to open the game against the Patriots. Patrick Mahomes has a strong chance of matching this record, as the Eagles' defense is likely to push the Chiefs into short and intermediate passes.
Mahomes will likely target Kelce and his running backs early, potentially breaking Manning's record.
Feb 09, 2025 at 03:13 PM EST
What NFL records could be broken this year: Pass touchdown record
In Super Bowl XXIX, Steve Young set a record with six touchdown passes in a 49-26 win over the Chargers. This topped Joe Montana's five touchdowns in Super Bowl XXIV, a 55-10 blowout over the Broncos. To break this, Mahomes and Hurts will need literally historic performances.

What NFL records could be broken this year?
Super Bowl LIX is mere hours from kickoff and two teams at the height of their powers, the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles are going toe-to-toe.
With generational talents like quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts, tight end Travis Kelce, and running back Saquon Barkley on the field, it seems all but certain some Super Bowl records are getting demolished today.
Let's take a look at some of them:
Rushing Yards Record
Timmy Smith's Super Bowl record of 204 rushing yards, set in Washington's 42-10 win over Denver in 1988, still stands.
Marcus Allen's 191-yard performance in Super Bowl XVIII is the closest challenge. However, Saquon Barkley, who rushed for 205 yards this postseason, could break the record today.

Rooting for the underdog? Psychologists explain why we like the little guy
For some fans, there's no question who to cheer for in the Super Bowl. If you're a die-hard Philadelphia Eagles or Kansas City Chiefs fan, there will be plenty of nerves—but no doubts—ahead of the big game. The neutrals, however, face an interesting decision: "Who do I want to win?"
And while there are plenty of memes about "hoping both teams have fun," sports are inherently combative. One team has to come out on top, and it's natural to have a preference.
During the 2024 NFL season, the court of public opinion has ruled against Kansas City. They weren't exactly a fan favorite during the 2023 campaign, as Taylor Swift's burgeoning romance with Travis Kelce and their Super Bowl victory made the team unavoidable. But things ratcheted up as the Chiefs chased a historic three-peat.
