Best moments from Super Bowl LIX Opening Night
The Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs kicked off Super Bowl week in New Orleans on Monday in an Opening Night event featuring hilarious interviews and interactions.
Here are the best moments from Super Bowl LIX Opening Night:
Ochocinco surprises Sirianni 😗
Former NFL wide receiver Chad Ochocinco interrupted Nick Sirianni's interview to show the Eagles' head coach some love.
Andy Reid's flamingo shirt 🦩
Members of the Eagles and Chiefs wore similar Super Bowl LIX sweaters for the Opening Night festivities, with one notable exception: Reid rocked his usual Hawaiian-style shirt.
Saquon: Giants may need a QB 🤨
Veteran quarterback Jameis Winston - who will be a free agent in the offseason - was one of the event's most notable interviewers and asked Saquon Barkley which team is looking for a QB in the open market. The Eagles running back suggested his former club, the New York Giants, as a potential destination.
Taylor Swift's baking skills 🧑🍳
Travis Kelce revealed a fun fact about his girlfriend: she can make unbelievable homemade Pop-Tarts.
Dallas Goedert = Big SpongeBob guy 🧽
The Eagles tight end had one of the night's best interviews and went viral for trying to do SpongeBob's laugh on live TV.
He doesn't know a lot about Taylor Swift, though.
Travis misses Jason in the NFL ❤️
Two years ago, Travis and Jason Kelce stared each other down in the Super Bowl when K.C. and Philly faced off in the Big Game for the first time. Jason retired after the 2023 season, but his brother still showed him a lot of love Monday.
'It hurts me' 😢
The shocking NBA trade that sent Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers and Anthony Davis to the Dallas Mavericks was a hot topic even at Super Bowl Opening Night. Patrick Mahomes - a longtime Mavs fan - lamented that Doncic isn't with the team anymore.
Hurts keeps it standard 😂
Jalen Hurts was asked why the Eagles' nearly unstoppable play is called a "tush push." However, the Philadelphia passer didn't have an answer - he still calls it "the quarterback sneak."
Eating Ws 🍪
Winston threw a "W" cookie to several Eagles players, referencing his viral 2017 pregame speech. Some who caught the cookie even ate it at the podium. (Spoiler: Hurts wasn't one of them.)
Chris Jones ready for Sunday 🗣️
It didn't take long for the Chiefs defensive lineman to fire up the crowd at Opening Night.
Mailata steals the show 🤣
Jordan Mailata was one of the stars of the evening, providing a pair of iconic quotes, including a claim that he would eat 2,000 Krabby Patties in five minutes.
