Fans react to Super Bowl first half
Super Bowl LII got off to a quick start as the Philadelphia Eagles marched straight down the field on their first drive to open the scoring 3-0.
They would control much of the first half as they led the New England Patriots 22-12 at the half.
Curious about how the rest of the country reacted to the first half? Here are some of the best reactions:

Brady’s wife, Gisele Bundchen, infamously ripped her husband’s teammates for dropping too many passes.
First half recap:
Trey Burton has more TD passes than Tom Brady; Nick Foles has more TD catches than any Patriots receiver; and Brady has more dropped passes than TD passes.Got all that?

Apparently when it comes down to it, Brady picked the right choice to be a quarterback.
If Bill Belichick has learned anything from Nick Saban, he will put in Brian Hoyer to start the second half. #SuperBowlLII

That refers to the college football national championship game where Alabama coach Nick Saban took a bold chance by pulling quarterback Jalen Hurts and putting in backup Tua Tagovailoa.
Tagovailoa, a true freshman, led the Crimson Tide back to beat the Georgia Bulldogs 26-23.
The Patriots will have some making up to do if they want to catch the Eagles in the second half.
