Kyle Williams typically isn’t tasked with making tackles on the field, but he was in Super Bowl LX.
The New England Patriots wide receiver had to take down a fan who went streaking on the field during the fourth quarter of Super Bowl 60 on Sunday, February 8, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
According to a video from MassLive reporter Mark Daniels, the streaker made his way onto the field and was quickly chased by at least four security guards.
After they couldn’t catch him, Williams took control, sprinting nearly 25 yards down the field to make the tackle.
The incident didn’t affect gameplay, as it was quickly handled.
The Seattle Seahawks went on to win the game, 29-13, for its second Super Bowl championship in franchise history (the Seahawks also won Super Bowl XLVIII in 2013).
Seattle never trailed in the game, pitching a shutout through the first three quarters. The Patriots finally found the end zone early in the fourth quarter, but the Seahawks already had a sizable lead.
Bad Bunny highlighted the halftime performance during the game, saying “God Bless America” in a set which paid tribute to his Puerto Rican roots.
The Grammy Award-winning rapper brought out a plethora of celebrities to participate in his performance, including Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin, who both sang during the show.
Pedro Pascal, Cardi B, Karol G, Jessica Alba and Alix Earle were also included in the performance.
Bad Bunny finished his set with a unifying message to the audience. “The only thing more powerful than hate is love,” a billboard displayed on the Levi’s Stadium jumbotron read at the end of the set.
While the reviews for Bad Bunny’s performance were mixed, country singer Kacey Musgraves shared her positive review of the show, while taking a shot at Kid Rock.
Rock was headlining the alternative Turning Point USA All-American Halftime Show at the same time as Bad Bunny’s performance.
“Well. That made me feel more proudly American than anything Kid Rock has ever done,” Musgraves wrote via X on Sunday, after watching Bad Bunny’s performance.
On the other hand, President Donald Trump was quick to show his disgust for the show on social media, after claiming previously that he wasn’t going to watch.
“The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER!” Trump, 71, posted on Truth Social just minutes after the show concluded. “It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence. Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World.”
He continued, “This ‘Show’ is just a ‘slap in the face’ to our Country, which is setting new standards and records every single day — including the Best Stock Market and 401(k)s in History! There is nothing inspirational about this mess of a Halftime Show and watch, it will get great reviews from the Fake News Media, because they haven’t got a clue of what is going on in the REAL WORLD.”
