Super Bowl Sunday: How long does it take to sing the national anthem?

Super Bowl Sunday is almost upon us. The Kansas City Chiefs will square off against the Philadelphia Eagles in this year's big game.

Moreover, the grand event will feature star musicians and celebrities in action before the game and during the halftime show. The national anthem prior to kickoff gets special treatment during the Super Bowl.

Country music star Chris Stapleton will perform the national anthem to commemorate the affair.

On average, the official duration for the Star-Spangled Banner has been recorded at 119 seconds (one minute and 59 seconds). However, some singers are unique and move at different paces.

Stapleton isn't known to rush with his music for short tracks. Moreover, with his southern accent, he is expected to hold longer notes and surpass the average time taken to sing the national anthem this weekend.

A total of five singers in the past decade have finished the national anthem in between 120-124 seconds.

Super Bowl Sunday: Who are the favorites to lift the Lombardi Trophy?

Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes will square off at Super Bowl Sunday

The Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles will meet on Super Bowl Sunday. However, the Eagles are tipped as marginal favorites to win the Championship.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been dealing with an ankle injury that he suffered in the divisional round matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Many believe that the 27-year-old's injury is the reason why Kansas City are the underdogs heading into the contest.

However, Mahomes still led the Chiefs to victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship game. He is also expected to start in the Super Bowl.

The odds also favor the Eagles because Jalen Hurts is having the best season of his career. The quarterback has led Philadelphia to 16 wins this season and has looked irresistible in the postseason.

Given that both teams are exceptional in their offensive department, it will be interesting to see which team comes out on top on Sunday. At the Super Bowl, there is no margin for error, so the team with the best defense on the night is likely to emerge victorious.
