Head coach Mike McDonald has also had an impressive season, really pulling the team together and making it work.

What does that say about Mike as a head coach?

And then you mentioned Sam Darnold as their new quarterback.

Jared, I have to ask, what excites you most about this Super Bowl matchup?

Of course, the Super Bowl is an event.

It's more than a game.

And I want to touch on the Super Bowl halftime show.

Bad Bunny is one of the most streamed artists in the world.

He was Spotify's most listened to artist globally for the fourth time in five years.

And he holds the distinction of being the first male Latin artist to headline the Super Bowl.

Why does this moment matter, not just for him, but for Latino representation on one of the biggest stages in American culture?
