Published: Jan. 26, 2025, 7:00 a.m. Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (26) sat in the snow as he celebrated his touchdown during the second half of an NFL football NFC divisional playoff game against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, Jan. 19, 2025, in Philadelphia. The game, which was telecast on FOX, saw the Eagles triumph, advancing them to the Super Bowl to face the AFC champion. The AFC Championship Game was played on Sunday evening at 6:30 p.m.
, with the Bills (13-4) or Chiefs (15-2) vying for a spot against the NFC winner. The Bills had secured a victory in their only regular-season encounter, defeating the Chiefs 30-21 on November 17. Bills QB Josh Allen's touchdown on fourth-and-two with 2:17 left sealed the upset. Super Bowl LIX (59) will be played on Sunday, February 9 at 6:30 p.m. at the Caesar's Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. The last Super Bowl held in New Orleans was Super Bowl XLVII, played on February 3, 2013, between the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers. The “Harbaugh Bowl” featured two brothers coaching against each other: Jim, who was the head coach of the 49ers, and John, who was (and still is) the head coach of the Ravens. A power outage in the stadium interrupted the game for 30 minutes in the third quarter, with the Ravens leading 28–6. The 49ers, led by quarterback Colin Kaepernick, rallied in the second half but fell short, 34-31, giving Baltimore its second Super Bowl championship. The Eagles have now ascended to the top spot to win the Super Bowl after the Lions were eliminated. Philadelphia is at +180 to win it all, followed by the Chiefs (+240), Bills (+250) and the Commanders (+700). The Super Bowl LIX halftime show — officially known as the Apple Music Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show — will feature rap star Kendrick Lamar. The show will be televised in the U.S. by Fox and Fox Deportes. Super Bowl halftime performers are paid the union-rate minimum. For Usher, that meant $671 for the actual performance last year and about $1,800 for the rehearsals leading up to the Super Bowl, Fox News reported. The NFL and Apple Music pick up the costs for the set, special effects and extras. There have been times where that cost ends up in the $15 million range. In 2021, The Weeknd reportedly spent more than $7 million of his own money for elaborate stages. Fox reported that Rihanna saw an increase of 390% in search traffic leading up to her performance at Super Bowl LVII and a massive 1,140% increase in music streams, including 62 million streams on Super Bowl weekend, according to the tracking firm Luminate.
