Observations from the first half of Super Bowl LV

We have reached halftime of Super Bowl LV between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Chiefs scored the game’s first points, coming on a field goal, but the Buccaneers then took the lead, as Tom Brady connected with tight end Rob Gronkowski for the first touchdown of Super Bowl LV.

Then the Kansas City defense made the first big play on the defensive side of the ball in Super Bowl LV, stopping Ronald Jones II short on a 4th-and-goal play. But struggles from the Chiefs offense limited what they could do in the first half, and their miscues and penalties mounted. The result? The Buccaneers enjoy a 21-6 lead at the break.

So while you settle in to watch The Weeknd, here are observations from the first half of Super Bowl LV.
