Best moments from Super Bowl LX Opening Night
The New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks kicked off Super Bowl week festivities in San Jose on Monday in an Opening Night event featuring hilarious interactions and must-watch interviews.
Here are the best moments from Super Bowl LX Opening Night:
'Ham Darnold' 🍖
Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold was surprised by an unusual gift: a fake ham hat. "Ham for Sam" chants erupted after he briefly put it on.

Patriots deja vu 💙
Nine years ago, Tom Brady got emotional while talking about his dad, the man he described as his hero after a touching question at Opening Night. Drake Maye also showed his family love while answering that same question.

Maye loves sweet treats 🍪
The Patriots star and his wife, Ann Michael Maye, have become a viral NFL couple. In December, she created a social media series with homemade holiday baking recipes - and Maye was asked to rank his favorite treats.

'Best play available' 😅
Seattle mistakenly chose to attempt a pass at the goal line in the deciding moments of Super Bowl XLIX against New England 11 years ago. If the Seahawks face a similar situation Sunday, what would second-year head coach Mike Macdonald do?

Hollins being Hollins 🦶
Mack Hollins showed up for Super Bowl Opening Night barefoot. We wouldn't expect anything else from the New England pass-catcher, who's gone viral for his unique pregame looks a few times this season.

Yes, Mack Hollins is barefoot at Super Bowl opening night. He does not take football questions on Monday, but was enthusiastic in discussing life after football, saying he wants to start a farm. But thats down the road. “I want to play football for another 100 years,” he said. pic.twitter.com/BkizmxsYAy

JSN catching passes from ... Brady? 🔥
Seahawks receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba listed a few players he'd like to team up with at the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles when flag football becomes an event. His dream ticket includes former Ohio State teammate Garrett Wilson and legendary quarterback Tom Brady.

The Seattle defensive lineman revealed that he collects magic cards and that some of his items are worth up to $65,000. If you can believe it, Williams said he believes his entire collection is worth over $1 million.
