Kendrick Lamar Hit Songs Recitor NFL Playoff Teams’ 2024 -Season

On By Littum

The scene for the Super Bowl Lix is ​​set between Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles.

But one of the greatest moments that will take place in New Orleans will be when the Grammy-winning rapper Kendrick Lamar takes the stage for the Apple Music Super Bowl Halfime Show.

Lamar, 37, is not a beginner for the Super Bowl Halfime Show scene. This marks his second performance after his guest performance in the Super Bowl Lis West Coast-themed half-time show at Sofi Stadium in 2022. But the Compton-Raised Rapper will do history this Sunday, being the first solo rapartist to exceed a super bowl-half-time show.

Each of the 14 NFL Playoffs teams has a trail of Pulitzer award-winning rapper who defines their season. Here’s the playlist – and why each song fits.

Philadelphia Eagles

‘All stars’

Philadelphia recently had star power in quarterback Jalen hurts, but a successful offseason added even more as they signed to drive Saquon Barkley back. Barkley, 27, led the NFL in rushing yards with 2,005 yards through a league-high 345 carrier. Pairing of Jalen hurts with Saquon Barkley – along with a dominant Eagles defense led by Jordan Davis, Jalen Carter and Zack Baun – helped Philadelphia lead the NFL in forced turnover and fewer meters (278.4 per battle), which burned their search to return to the Super Bowl. — Hooks

Kansas City Chiefs

‘Not like us’

Chiefs have rolled through the post season as they are ready to make their fifth Super Bowl performance for seven seasons. Kansas City is on the verge of doing history as no team in the NFL story has ever won three just super bowls. Chiefs have respective winnings in the Super Bowl LVII against Eagles in 2023 and LVIII over San Francisco 49ers in 2024.

Kansas City was tied to the best record this season with Detroit Lions, but with another trip back to the Super Bowl for a chance to do history, it is safe to say that Chiefs are “not like” their opponents. — Hooks

‘Element’

After all of these commanders, whom fans have endured in recent years-a rotating door at QB, since he lost Kirk Cousins ​​in 2017, a four-year playoffs and Daniel Cheater’s tumultuous tenure-rookie signal call Jayden Daniels arrived in 2024 The NFL draft and was the immediate solution to many of the team’s problems on the field. And fans enjoy every second of the Daniels experience.

After completing the 2023 season with a 4-13 record, Washington became a completely different team with Daniels under the center, where he became 12-5 this year and was one of the last four remaining teams in the playoffs.

After such a turn there is plenty of optimism around Washington because the commanders have found their element .– Waters

‘Humble’

Every year during the post -season, Buffalo dominates the competition, only to run into his biggest challenge on the road to a Super Bowl -Kaj: Kansas City.

If the bills were to make a Super Bowl, this seemed to be the season, it would happen. Buffalo started with a high note with a three-game-winning row before suffering two consecutive tabs against the Ravens as it would meet again in the NFC division round. But after humiliating himself, the bills began to hit through their schedule behind Quarterback Josh Allen, who led the league with a 77.3 QBR.

Although back in the post -season, which drove high with a big win over the Denver Broncos and a stunner against Baltimore, Buffalo once again became humble with a loss to Kansas City. — Hooks

‘Father Time’

Rams’ aging core has been a hot topic since their Super Bowl LVI win. Originally, questions were mostly about Future Hall of Famer Aaron Donald, who decided to call it a career after last season. Then these questions this year remained about the team’s veteran -quarterback and wide receiving commercial by Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp.

Despite the uncertainty and a 1-5 start of the year, the team managed to return the clock. Rams turned their season completely around and won the NFC West to earn a home game in the Wild-Card round of the playoffs and then beat the fifth seed Vikings to perform in the divisional round against the Eagles. — Waters

Detroit Lions

‘Loyalty’

The Lions have only made the post-season four times since the 1999 season before enduring a brutal stretch in the 2000s, including a Winless 0-16 season in 2008-one team containing current head coach Dan Campbell.

But Detroit stood by the lions. When Lions made playoffs from 2023, the excitement rose as they pressed for an NFC championship, only to fall short of the 49s in their Super Bowl bid. Still, the city was behind them and gathered in the 2024 season with Dan Campbell Corn labur interiors and unshakable support. With their best record in franchise history and an end game Bye, Detroit’s loyalty never faded – it only got stronger. — Hooks

‘Money trees’

During a peak season, with many around the league wondering how much money -top was running backs that would receive in the free agent market, the ravens were among the few teams that didn’t mind paying for a top ball ship.

Ravens earlier Tennessee Titans, who drove back Derrick Henry, gave a two-year contract worth $ 16 million in free agency and was immediately rewarded in the form of 1,921 rushing yards and 16 rushing touchdowns plus a third continuous trip to the post-season.

The team did not reach its ultimate goal of competing for a Super Bowl, but with the well -compensated duo by Henry and Quarterback Lamar Jackson, there is reason to believe that they will have another race next year. Looks like it was worth spending the money. — Waters

‘Screamed up’

Texans Quarterback CJ Stroud entered the NFL as a trendsetter. Ohio State stand out in his second season with Houston, brought attention to “Squabble” – a popular dance – that Lamar adapted in the music video for the song.

In its second season, Stroud’s statistics dropped drastically from having the eighth most passing yards (4,108) in the NFL to the 15th most (3,727). Much of it comes from the pressure of 38.9% of his dropbacks and 52 sacks, but it did not stop Stroud’s competitive advantage and a defense that allowed the fewest meters to help the Texans get the post -season. — Hooks

‘TV OFF’

The Vikings have got the football for the final zone 45 times this season. Cows the celebrations up! Minnesota, who created a connection with the outside football world with their Touchdown celebration composed by Vikings Safety Camryn Bynum, solidified as the team that makes you scream “mustard” after each Vikings touchdown. — Hooks

‘Peekaboo’

Tampa Bay had a significant influence everywhere with players on key positions “Peek-A-BOOING” at the right times.

At the end of the Buccaneers season, Quarterback Baker Mayfield finished in third place by passing yards with 4,500 as the broad recipient Mike Evans reached his 11th consecutive season of breaking 1,000 receiving yards to tie the legendary receiving Jerry Rice. Rookie, who runs back Bucky Irving, also ended the top 10 with rushing with 1,122 rushing yards.

Tampa Bay had one of the top offenses this season that ranked the third in the NFL in the total yardage average per year. Battle (399.5) and passes per. Battle (250.4) and fourth in rushing yard pr. Fight (149.2). — Hooks

‘Silent Hill’

There were plenty of questions about Packers and what their season would look like before the season started. Could Quarterback Jordan Love Pick Up, where he escaped after a breakout performance last year? Does the team need help with a broad recipient? If not, which recipient will be the one who breaks out and establishes itself like the go-to-guy? Can running back Josh Jacobs regain his shape with a new team after a launch year with Las Vegas Raiders last season?

Even with all doubts about the team, Green Bay found a way to dampen the exterior noise and end the regular season with a better record than it did last year. The team went 9-8 in 2023 and then had an 11-6 record this year. — Waters

Denver Broncos

‘Okay’

In this season, Broncos had serious trouble finding a franchise quarterback. The team had shown 13 different start -QBs since 2015 before taking the former Oregon and Auburn Signal Caller bo nix in the first round of 2024 NFL draft.

While all reports that entered the season stated that the organization loved and believed in NIX, the uncertainty about the team’s quarterback situation was understandable. However, Broncos proved that they would be perfectly fine with NIX who runs the violation.

With Nix under the center, Bronco’s head coach Sean Payton was convinced they had found their quarterback in Nix. In his rookie season, Nix was among the finalists to serve the award 2024 Rookie of the Year, led the team to a 10-7 record and its first playoff performance since won the Super Bowl 50 in 2015.- Waters

‘DNA’

Under the leadership of veteran head coach Mike Tomlin, Steelers hardly hardly feels like having a losing season. In fact, Pittsburgh has not had a losing season since 2003.

Despite all revenue, the team had entered this season-shopping with the former first round draft of Kenny Pickett, who acquired two new players fighting for the job under the Center in Russell Wilson and Justin Fields and traded with a Top Wideout in Diontae Johnson to Carolina Panthers – The team continued to do what it does best: winning game.

Steelers were one of the hottest teams in the league to start the season and won 10 of their first 12 games, on their way to another consecutive autumn period. But the team continued another trend: to lose in the postal season. Pittsburgh’s last playoff -win came in the Divisional Round 2016 against Kansas City. — Waters

‘Maad City’

At the beginning of the song, Lamar says “seems like the whole city is going against me”, which speaks directly to the charger’s situation.

Despite having fans present, many Chargers home matches end up feeling like road games as visitors fans are drowning noise from Chargers supporters. As the latest of the two organizations moving to Los Angeles, chargers have fought for an uphill to steal the hearts of local football fans from Rams – and other NFL teams that Angelenos loves.

However, the organization’s matches to build a local fanbase had no influence on the team’s performance on the field this season as chargers ended with an 11-6 record and reached the end game in their first year under head coach Jim Harbaugh. — Waters
