Siranni also spoke about his emotional reaction to the National Anthem at a press conference following the game. “I’ve dreamed about this since I’ve been two years old,” the Philadelphia Eagles coach explained. “It’s just emotional because there’s a lot of work, not just by myself, but a lot of people. Starting with my wife and my kids, my brothers, my dad, and just so many people… It’s just emotional in that moment knowing where we were.”

Meanwhile, Stapleton spoke about what it felt like to sing the National Anthem during the big NFL game. “Man, it felt great. It really did. The energy was good and the crowd was hyped up for the game, so that kind of gets you ready to go.” 

Twitter users quickly sound off to Stapleton’s amazing performance. “It was the best rendition of the National Anthem I have ever heard,” one Twitter user declared. “The guitar made it great and the vocals, range, high notes everything was awesome and made me group to be a country music AND Chris Stapleton fan.”

Another Twitter user added, “Chris Stapleton just delivered one of the best National Anthem performances I’ve heard in a long time.”

She then made it to Kansas City to watch Travis. The NFL celebrated Donna’s efforts to watch her sons play within hours of each other. “She made it! Two games! One day. One amazing mom.” 

The Pro Football Hall of Fame also tweeted that Donna was the first mother to have two sons play against each other in the Super Bowl. She wore a shirt that combined her sons’ Chiefs and Eagles jerseys.
