Those varied reactions were a constant feature but there was no doubt that she got people watching.
“Beyoncé worst performance all time. That was terrible” – wrote one.
“Loving all this Beyonce love bc that was truly amazing!” – disagreed a second.
“Seriously, it sounds like she is singing from a box with a cheesecloth filter. I love Beyonce, but something is off in the broadcast.” – rationalized a third.
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson shreds Texans after admitting love for Beyoncé
Before the game, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson said he wanted to watch Beyoncé’s halftime show instead of attending head coach John Harbaugh’s halftime talk.
“I’m going to go out there and watch… sorry, Harbaugh,” he had said.
He did not do that but he might as well have. The Ravens dominated the Texans in the first half and Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry made hay. By the third quarter, the Baltimore quarterback had surpassed Michael Vick for the most rushing yards from that position. His stat line at that time read two touchdown passes, one rushing score, 87 yards on the ground, 166 yards through the air, no interceptions, and a passer rating of 144.6.
The Baltimore defense was also exceptional as they stopped Houston’s offense from scoring in the first half. They also intercepted C.J. Stroud once in the first period and the home team’s only points came from a safety by Kamari Lassiter on Derrick Henry.
Fans might have been divided on Beyoncé’s performance but there was no doubt that the visiting team was approaching greatness against a very poor Texans team in the first half.
