The Kansas City Chiefs were down 10 points at halftime of Super Bowl LVII, so they couldn’t let their minds wander.

That’s why Andy Reid banned them from seeing Rihanna’s halftime show.

His performance was the most-watched halftime show of all time, but no one from the Chiefs saw it live, according to Patrick Mahomes.

Rihanna, who donned red for her first live performance in seven years, shocked fans when it was revealed that she is pregnant with her second child.

«Coach Reid told us, ‘If you go out to see the performance, keep walking, because you won’t be playing the rest of the game,'» Mahomes told Jimmy Kimmel.

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.

However, special teams coordinator Darrin Simmons was not enthusiastic, calling it «a touchy subject» last year.

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.
