Last year, Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson came out of the locker room to catch Dr. Dre, Snoop Dog, Eminem, 50 Cent, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar and Anderson Paak; we’ll give him the benefit of the doubt, since he’s a kicker.

Watching the show didn’t affect McPherson, as he went 4-for-4 on his combined field goals and extra point attempts, but Reid wasn’t willing to risk anything.
Don’t feel bad for the Chiefs, though: Kansas City overcame a 10-point deficit to beat the Philadelphia Eagles, 38-35, for its second Super Bowl since 2020.
