SUPER BOWL LX REACTION.. WHO IS BAD BUNNY? | Biggest Superbowl

In this episode of Across the Gridiron, Eddie and Matt break down Super Bowl LX from every angle — on the field, off the field, and from the unique perspective of watching the biggest game in American sport from the United Kingdom. We dive into the dominance of the Seattle Seahawks defence, what it says about modern Super Bowl wins, and why defence still travels on the biggest stage. We also unpack the Sam Darnold story, discussing how his Super Bowl performance capped a remarkable journey and what it means for his reputation across the league. Special teams played a decisive role, so we give overdue credit to the kickers and coverage units, analysing how fine margins and execution under pressure shaped the outcome of the game. Off the field, we share our honest reactions to the Bad Bunny halftime show — did it land, was it divisive, and was the criticism fair? We also talk candidly about the realities of watching the Super Bowl late into the night from the UK, how we coped with the time difference, and whether the experience still hits the same as it does stateside. A reflective, fan-led conversation that blends football analysis, culture, and the lived experience of NFL fans outside the US.
