The Philadelphia Eagles dominated the defending champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, securing a victory with a final score of 40:22 (7:0, 17:0, 10:6, 6:16).

The halftime show featured a dynamic performance by rapper Kendrick Lamar, who was introduced by Samuel L. Jackson, portraying Uncle Sam.

Joining him on stage were singer SZA and tennis legend Serena Williams.
"Not Like Us" gained notoriety as one of Lamar's diss tracks aimed at Drake, sparking a legal battle when Drake sued Lamar for alleged defamation. Social media hailed Lamar's performance as a decisive victory in their ongoing feud, with the stadium chanting "a minor" at the end, referencing the song's contentious allegations about Drake.
