Patrick Mahomes Reveals the Strict Rule Surrounding Rihanna’s Half-Time Show at Super Bowl 2021
The Kansas City Chiefs have been crowned Super Bowl champions for the second time in four years after downing the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35 in a classic encounter. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes was the star of the show and was deservedly named MVP of the game.
However, Mahomes also revealed an interesting rule that was put in place by Chiefs coach Andy Reid ahead of Rihanna’s half-time show. As Mahomes explained in an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Reid informed his players that they were not to leave the locker room and watch the show or else they would not be allowed to play the rest of the game.
The rule was obeyed and the Chiefs went on to win the Super Bowl, which was in stark contrast to a year ago when Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson was spotted watching the likes of Dr. Dre, Snoop and Eminem perform at half time, instead of being at his locker with his team.
Rihanna used her time in the Super Bowl spotlight to reveal that she is pregnant with her second child. Kimmel suggested that her second child should be named after the Chiefs quarterback, although Mahomes seemed less convinced by the idea.
“My name is taken by my son, Patrick Lavon Mahomes III, so I don’t know if that name is still allowed,” laughed the QB. “She’ll have to think of another one!”
The Chiefs’ strict rule surrounding Rihanna’s half-time show may have been the difference between winning and losing the Super Bowl, and it goes to show the level of discipline and commitment the team has to success. Mahomes and the Chiefs have certainly set the standard for future Super Bowl champions, and it will be interesting to see if other teams follow suit in 2021.
