This weekend’s AFC Championship Game between the Pittsburg Steelers and the New York Jets will have a distinct country flavor. Martina McBride will be singing the National Anthem and Joe Nichols will be the halftime entertainment.
In the past, Martina’s been a good luck charm for the Steelers — and the Steelers wouldn’t mind her luck again. ”Martina is 2-0 and we hope she brings the magic to stay undefeated,” says John Wodarek, Steelers Marketing Manager.
“Singing our National Anthem is always an honor,” says Martina. “I will always remember singing the anthem in Pittsburgh 2 years ago for the playoff game. It’s amazing to be there in the middle of all those football fans and all that excitement. I can’t wait!”
“I am a sports fanatic,” says Joe, “and being able to perform at halftime for the fans of the Steelers and the Jets is such a thrill for me. One of these teams will be going to the Super Bowl—enough said! So being able to pump the fans up, even more than they already will be, is my goal. Thanks to the Steelers’ organization for making it happen.”
To see Martina and Joe, tune in to CBS on Sunday, Jan. 23 at 6:30 p.m. Eastern.
Who are you pulling for this weekend — Steelers or Jets?
