I hear you — this Super Bowl felt a bit different from the hype, and I think there are a few reasons for that.
1️⃣ The game itself was solid but not a nail-biter
The Seattle Seahawks ended up beating the New England Patriots 29–13, with their defense dominating most of the game and limiting big explosive drives from the Pats. That kind of control can look efficient — but not super exciting — from a fan perspective.
2️⃣ The early part of the game lacked big momentum swings
For a good chunk of the first half, neither offense really lit up the scoreboard — field goals and defensive stands dominated. That can leave viewers feeling like the game was “slow,” even if the strategy was interesting to watch.
3️⃣ The halftime show was one of the more talked-about parts
Bad Bunny delivered a standout performance that many fans loved, especially with the cultural representation and energy he brought. So for some people the entertainment felt stronger than the sporting drama.
4️⃣ Expectations matter
There was a lot of buzz leading up to the game — new quarterbacks, rematch storyline — so when it didn’t come down to the wire or feature last-minute heroics, it felt less exciting even though the execution was solid at a pro level.
For me, it was a well-played game with a clear game plan by Seattle, but not a classic “back-and-forth” Super Bowl that keeps casual fans glued until the final minute.
