On Opening Night, the stars from Kansas City and San Francisco will meet for the only time before the Super Bowl. The fans make it clear who they like the title more. 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy freaks out the crowd with a curt answer.
Anyone who still had doubts about who more viewers would clap for in the Super Bowl (Monday, 12:30 a.m. live on RTL/DAZN) received a clear picture of the mood on the NFL’s opening night. No matter what the Kansas City Chiefs players did that evening at Allegiant Stadium, they were booed mercilessly by the majority of the approximately 25,000 spectators in the arena.
The San Francisco 49ers players experienced the evening completely differently. The team from neighboring California was celebrated frenetically in Las Vegas. Brock Purdy provided the loudest moment of the evening. When asked if he was ready to disappoint Taylor Swift, the 49ers quarterback replied with a mischievous smile: “Yes!” The fans in the stands completely freaked out. Swift is dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
Standing next to the 24-year-old Purdy was Patrick Mahomes. The NFL superstar didn’t let his opponent’s taunts show. “It’s a great experience every time,” said the two-time champion, emphasizing that he will be the much more experienced quarterback in the final. However, his next words were lost in the loud boos. It was the only direct meeting between the two playmakers before the Super Bowl.

A total of 6,000 reporters from 26 countries fought in front of the interview boxes on the field to ask the stars of both teams a question. The most desirable man that evening was Kelce. As soon as the Chiefs star sat on his stool, the first questions came about his girlfriend Swift, who recently won two more Grammys. “She is unbelievable. She is rewriting the history books. I told her I would keep my end of the bargain and bring home a trophy as well.” He continued: “It’s fun to watch her enjoy the game even though it’s something new in her life .”
Goodell announces plans for Brazil
Roger Goodell was also in the stadium. A few hours earlier, the powerful head of the National Football League (NFL) had given his traditional opening PK in the belly of the arena. Goodell answered questions from selected journalists and announced, among other things, that the Philadelphia Eagles will play their first game in Brazil next season.

The game will be played on Friday, September 6th. This is the first time in over 50 years that the NFL will play a game on the Friday evening of its opening weekend. “This groundbreaking first international game in South America is a testament to the continued expansion of our global footprint,” Goodell said in Las Vegas. “The game on Friday evening of the first week is a unique opportunity to underline our international growth and ambitions.”

The league boss was also asked about betting in the gambling metropolis. The NFL has a strict anti-betting policy. “No player or team member is allowed to bet, we have to educate the players to do that,” emphasized Goodell. “It is our job to protect the integrity of the game. The spectators have to be sure that everything is going well down on the field.”
