There’s the big game, the anticipated commercials, and the postgame analysis…but don’t forget about the pregame festivities.
The NFL on FOX team invited a number of special guests to the pregame show. Here are the best moments from the afternoon, beginning with a tribute to a team that WON’T be playing today:
