Chiefs Clinch Super Bowl Win With Just 8 Seconds Left On The Clock

The Kansas City Chiefs eked out a 38-35 victory at Super Bowl LVII on Sunday with just eight seconds remaining on the clock in the fourth quarter.

A late penalty on Philadelphia Eagles cornerback James Bradberry was the backdrop as the Chiefs tried to run down the clock before they made an attempt to break the 35-35 tie. The gamble paid off, and as quarterback Patrick Mahomes took a knee, place kicker Harrison Butker delivered a field goal with eight seconds to spare.

But even as the Chiefs celebrated their victory, Eagles fans took to Twitter to complain about the holding call against Bradberry — that put them in position to take the lead.

“One of the best super bowls I’ve watched ruined by the refs,” @timthetatman tweeted.

We had 58 amazing minutes of the game, then the refs decided to pick the winner. #Chiefs win the Super Bowl 38-35,” Doc Kleiman added

“The fact that the two best teams in the league were throwing haymakers at each other for 58 minutes only for the refs to basically decide the game is really a tragedy. No professional sports season should end like this,” Brett Kollman complained.

Brenden Deeg added, “Letting the refs dictate one of the best Super Bowls of all time is a sick joke.”

“Can’t believe this epic game ends like that. What garbage. And I didn’t even care who won. I just didn’t want the refs deciding it with ticky tack garbage,” Jon Ledyard tweeted.

Benjamin Allbright pointed out the fact that while he felt the holding call had been excessive, the end result may have been the same regardless. “It’s not the Chiefs’ fault that the refs made that laughable call, and they may have won anyway. Congrats to them. But what a poor way for an otherwise great game to end,” he said.

And Allbright may have been correct — the Chiefs outscored the Eagles by a wide margin in the second half of the game.

Rihanna Sparks Pregnancy Rumors During Super Bowl Halftime Show

Singer Rihanna took the stage to kick off the Super Bowl LVII halftime show on Sunday, her appearance immediately sparked rumors that she might be pregnant with her second child.

The Barbadian-born artist took the stage in a form-fitting red jumpsuit, showing off what appeared to be a baby bump — and causing Twitter users to speculate wildly.

“This is why she is a QUEEN!!!! Pregnant, looked incredible, sounded incredible, was on a platform in the middle of the air… everything about this performance,” Nicole Servinis added.

“Rihanna. Imperious. Incredible. Baby bumping. All hits. At all heights. With all of the lights. Queen,” said Amrit Singh.

“OK so everyone just googled ‘Rihanna pregnant’ right?” David Mack asked.

“If you listen closely, that’s the sound of millions of people googling ‘Rihanna pregnant,'” Kate Smith agreed.

It would be funny if after the halftime show so the press are like ‘wow Rihanna! So you’re pregnant?’ And she was like ‘what? No,'” Ben Dreyfuss joked.

Rihanna welcomed her first child with rapper A$AP Rocky in May of 2022, and recently described her work-life balance as a new parent as “almost impossible,” saying, “No matter how you look at it, work is always something that’s going to rob you of time with your child. That’s the currency now, that’s where it goes. The magnitude of how much it weighs.”

“When you make decisions of what you’re going to say yes to, it has to be worth it,” she continued, saying that she felt like the Super Bowl was definitely worth putting in the time — and was something that she would be proud to look back at with her child and say that she had met the challenge.

“It’s important for me to do this this year. It’s important for representation. It’s important for my son to see that,” she said.
