Super Bowl Sunday is finally here, with the Kansas City Chiefs taking on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fla.
This year, Romo knows the stakes are higher, with future Hall of Famer Tom Brady and superstar Patrick Mahomes facing off in a quarterback showdown for the ages (in Brady’s case, age 43).
“I really think this game is a legacy game,” Romo said on a Super Bowl conference call with CBS Sports. “This is going to be one of the great matchups in sports history. This is what you talk about with your friends. Could you imagine if Michael Jordan got his team to the finals against LeBron — who is becoming the face of the league? We’re getting that in this Super Bowl. It’s like Jack Nicklaus against Tiger Woods. There’s nothing else I could find.”
One obvious difference with tonight’s game is that Raymond James Stadium will be just a third full, with 25,000 fans scattered throughout the stands due to the coronavirus pandemic. Of those fans, 7,500 are vaccinated health-care workers attending the game for free. On the plus side, the lack of fans in the stands means CBS can use some different camera angles and locations to capture the game.
The average NFL game typically has about 16 commercial breaks, and due to all the untimed stoppages in play, games don’t really have a set “end time.” The Super Bowl is even tougher to predict, thanks to all those expensive commercials and a full-blown concert at halftime (headlined this year by The Weeknd).
So what time will Chiefs-Buccaneers actually end?
The Chiefs’ victory over the San Francisco 49ers last year in Super Bowl LIV was a quick affair, ending at 10:10 p.m. Eastern, a brisk three hours and 30 minutes. The 2019 Super Bowl between the New England Patriots and the Los Angeles Rams was also quick, lasting just three hours and 35 minutes.
Since 2010, the longest Super Bowl remains Super Bowl XLVII in 2013 between the 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens, which lasted four hours and 15 minutes due to a 34-minute blackout in the Superdome in New Orleans.
Over the past 10 seasons, the average length of the Super Bowl is about three hours and 39 minutes. Using that measure, the game would end around 10:09 p.m. ET.
