The Lombardi Trophy was awarded to the Kansas City Chiefs at Super Bowl LIV on Feb. 2 at the Hard Rock Cafe Stadium in Miami.
The game was played between the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs.
“Fourth quarter was fun because I was on the edge of my seat,” said sophomore Matt Kane.
The Chiefs were down by 10 points and quarterback Patrick Mahomes rallied his team to a comeback win 31-20.
“It was good all around. I like how the Chiefs won it in the fourth and came back just like they did in all of their playoff games,” said Kane.
Many students say that Mahomes was a notable player in this game.
“For someone who enjoys natural talent, watching all the hard work of Mahomes pay off was rewarding to watch. Coming short in his MVP year last year proved to be the motivation he needed to come out this year and take what was his,” said sophomore James Johnsen.
The Super Bowl has become equivalent to a holiday for many.
“What I traditionally do for the Super Bowl would be guessing the halftime and end game scores along with some boxes that we make up,” said sophomore Chris Margulies. “We also like to order a lot of wings, pizza and mozzarella sticks from Hurricane Wild Wings. Personally, during the Super Bowl, I like to wear my favorite football jersey which now has become a tradition for me.”
Many students say that the Super Bowl commercials add excitement to the game. Some commercials that aired during breaks were for Doritos, Hyundai and Hulu.
Sophomore Jeremy Miller said that Google released an emotional and powerful commercial.
“The Google commercial was definitely the best. It really made me think about all the benefits that technology can do for people that are sick. People always try to focus on the negatives brought on by technology but this commercial really made everyone watching quite emotional and showed the positives technology can have on families,” said Miller.
Super Bowl LIV had high expectations for some.
“In all honesty I only remember last year’s game because my team, the New England Patriots, won. This year I didn’t really care who won because my team was not playing. I thought the 4th quarter was crazy, especially with the 49ers failing to score when it seemed they had the game under control,” said sophomore Josh Proctor.
Last year’s game between the New England Patriots and the Los Angeles Rams was the lowest scoring Super Bowl game.
“For starters, this Super Bowl was a complete turnaround from last year’s snooze fest,” said sophomore Brendan Larson. “I think the game itself, with the comeback added in, made it one of the better ones in recent memory. I wouldn’t know where to rank it all-time, but it was definitely one that was worth the watch.”
