Mack Hollins tried to compare himself to Bad Bunny and paid the price

It was clear that the main protagonists of the Super Bowl were Drake Maye of the New England Patriots and Sam Darnold of the Seattle Seahawks. However, it came as no surprise that Latin superstar Bad Bunny stole the halftime show with a performance that sparked debate but will ultimately go down in history. Benito owned the stage, and that is how he will be remembered.

Before kickoff, though, one New England Patriots player briefly grabbed the spotlight: Mack Hollins, who once again proved why he is considered one of the most eccentric players in the NFL, dividing opinions among fans.

Hollins arrived barefoot, wearing an orange prison-style jumpsuit, handcuffs, ankle shackles, and a mask, creating an immediate impact among fans, media, and social networks. The image went viral within minutes and became one of the most talked-about moments before the game.

Mack Hollins faces heavy criticism

This is not the first time Mack Hollins has made headlines for this type of behavior. The former Buffalo Bills player has previously explained that these gestures are part of his self-expression and mental approach to big games. The current Patriots receiver is also known for walking barefoot even in freezing weather, a habit that often draws attention.

Despite that, Hollins was heavily criticized by fans who pointed out that the New England Patriots are a historic franchise with six Super Bowl titles, and that there was no place for a player trying to "steal the show" by arriving dressed as a prisoner at the league's biggest event.

In the end, the spotlight -and in a positive way- belonged to Bad Bunny, who delivered a spectacular halftime show at Super Bowl LX 2026 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

With this performance, Bad Bunny made history by headlining a halftime show performed almost entirely in Spanish, marking a historic moment in Super Bowl history.
