Super Bowl Sunday was a fun experience that was full with a lot of moments and that left gossiping and chatting about the commercials, halftime concert and so much more.
Here’s some of the top ten moments that happened during Super Bowl 50. Starting at number ten was when NBA champion Stephen Curry pounded on the “Keep Pounding Drum” that escorts the Carolina Panthers out on the field—Curry is a fan of Quarterback, Cam Newton and the Panthers.
Number nine would be Lady Gaga singing the National Anthem. She sung her heart out with and left people in awe of how exceptional her voice sounded. Lady Gaga was stunning dressed in her red suit, bright blue nails and her white blonde hair blowing in the wind—she represented the American colors and received a roar from the crowd.
The eighth moment was when the Broncos got the ball resulting from winning the coin toss. Broncos scored the first point with a field goal 0-3. Broncos stayed in the game with confidence, even mimicked the Panthers by ‘dabbing’ on the team—the Broncos were just getting warmed up though.
The seventh moment was when the panthers were scoreless in the first quarter with 0-10. Turning the ball over and struggling with their defense, which left the Panthers scoreless in the 3 quarter, as well. Connection seemed like a lost cause between Newton and his teammates.
The sixth moment was the Bronco’s defense destroying the Panthers, along with getting interception back to back and not letting the Panther’s breath. They kept Newton on his back with six sacks—the most he has never been sacked before.
Number five goes to the Panthers scoring their first points in the second quarter and fourth quarter. In the second quarter the Panthers finally looked like themselves by scoring the ball with a touchdown, plus a field goal. The last time they scored was in the fourth, but the game was already a wrap.
The fourth moment was the infamous halftime show—it was entertaining with star power. Coldplay openeded the show with stadium drenched in bright colors, and the fans holding up brightly colored signs. They did an amazing job, even though actress Taraji Henson mistook them for Maroon 5 in her tweet Sunday night. The concert was dedicated to past and present performers of the Super Bowl. Bruno Mars performing “Uptown Funk” and Beyoncé, took part in this Super Bowl tribute. She who performed her new song “Formation,” which caused a lot of controversy.
The third moment was when Beyoncé almost fell on stage, while singing and dancing to her new song. She ended up catching herself, but the Internet was blowing up with a variety of comments—this moment was almost bigger than the actual super bowl.
The second moment was the winners and the losers. The Broncos were dabbing on the sidelines and Peyton Manning fist pumping to celebrate their win at the Super Bowl 50, which might be the last Super Bowl for Manning. On the sidelines, Josh Norman of the Panthers was upset because his team lost.
The number one moment was the post coverage of the Super Bowl, where Newton walked out during the press conference. He left the press with a few words about how he and the team played by saying, “They played [better than us].”
