NFL Films Perfectly Captured the Eerily Quiet Moment Right Before Super Bowl Kickoff That Fans Don’t See

NFL Films Super Bowl

The Kansas City Chiefs won their third Super Bowl in five years earlier this month when they beat the San Francisco 49ers in an overtime thriller that ended with a walk-off touchdown pass by Patrick Mahomes.

The Super Bowl each year is quite a spectacle, with hundreds of millions of fans from all over the world watching on television. What’s missed on the broadcast, however, is the quiet moment right before kickoff as the teams get ready for the game to finally begin.

NFL Films perfectly captured it at this year’s Big Game in Las Vegas, with mics picking up Brock Purdy telling a teammate that he couldn’t believe how quiet it was inside Allegiant Stadium and George Kittle talking about how much he loves the calmness before things get underway.

This is pretty cool:
