FIELD GOAL: Seahawks 3, Patriots 0
Seattle 12, New England 0
The Patriots still can’t get going. And still just ONE combined catch from Stefon Diggs and Hunter Henry.
Seattle take over at their own 18-yard line with 7.34 remaining in the third.
FIELD GOAL: Seattle 12, New England 0
The Seahawks can’t find the touchdown that would present a hammer blow - but it’s death by a thousand cuts at the moment as they add another field goal to push the lead to 12.
Aussie Michael Dickson’s strong day continues, as he rescues what could have been a dicey situation with an errant snap and controls and holds the ball well for the Jason Myers field goal. It comes after his earlier pinpoint punt that you can read about here.
9.12 left in the third, and still plenty of time for the Patriots, but they’re going to have to buck the tide to find some offensive synergy now.
Seattle 9, New England 0
It’s the same old story for the Patriots right out of the break.
Maye comes up short on a couple of passes, and they have to punt the ball right back to Seattle with barely 90 seconds coming off the clock.
The Seahawks will be looking to put the foot on the throat as they search for the game’s first touchdown now.

Second half begins!
After just the FIFTH half in Super Bowl history without a touchdown... we’re back for the second half!
New England start with the ball, and the first order of business is for Drake Maye to get rolling. He’s thrown for just 48 yards on 11 attempts and clearly needs to get moving - and fast.
Half-time show over
Bad Bunny’s stellar performance is complete and wow, what a musical journey he took us on.
He took the Super Bowl half-time show to a new level with a thoughtfully planned set and group of dancers that superbly captured his culture and country.

Singing catchy hits that just make you want to get up and dance to surpise guests, he certainly brought the house down that has made Puerto Rico proud.
The 31-year-old has come a long way from being a guest musician to Shakira and Jennifer Lopez’ halftime show back in 2020 and makes history as the first Spanish language-dominant solo performer to headline.

Ricky Martin is in the house
Pop singer Ricky Martin appeared on stage to show of his Spanish rapping surrounded by a banana plantation.
The camera panned back to Bad Bunny who continued to sing some of his popular hits. Despite singing his entire set in Spanish the whole stadium was up on their feet joining in on the celebration.
Love is in the air
Bad Bunny’s set has shone an impressive spotlight on his Puerto Rico and Spanish community. Everyone is singing and dancing and showing their love for one another and the culture.


Lady Gaga is here!
In a surprise appearance, Lady Gaga has taken to the stage for a Spanish inspired set.
She looks glamorous in a baby blue gown adorned with a red flower and her platinum blonde locks flowing around her shoulders.

Cardi B and Jessica Alba make a cameo
Cardi B and Jessica Alba have been spotted in his crowd of incredible dancers. Bad Bunny and Cardi collaborate on 2018 song I Like It.
He has also just song part of Daddy Yankee’s hit song Gasolina.
Bad Bunny has taken to the stage
The stadium field has been transformed into something like a Hollywood set. He is singing and dancing in a plantation.
He’s now emerged on a platform with female dancers shaking their hips and twerking.
