ATLANTA (AP) - Maroon 5 closed out its glitzy halftime show with frontman Adam Levine going shirtless for "Moves Like Jagger," and a controversy-free performance was complete.
Rappers Travis Scott and Big Boi each performed one truncated song.
A marching band and a gospel choir joined in, but there was no apparent reference onstage to supporting former San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick, a focal point following his kneeling during the national anthem to protest social injustice.
The Atlanta Falcons are coming off a 7-9 season in 2018 and hold the 14th overall pick heading into tonight's NFL Draft.
LAST SEASON: Devastating rash of injuries that gutted middle of defense and also took down both starting guards and running back Devonta Freeman was too much to overcome. QB Matt Ryan posted numbers comparable to his 2016 MVP season, but Falcons came nowhere close to playoffs. Atlanta was 4-9 before winning its last three games.
FREE AGENCY: Guard might have been Atlanta's top draft priority before free-agent signings of James Carpenter and Jamon Brown. Team also re-signed defensive end Adrian Clayborn, who spent the last year in New England following stint with Falcons. GM Thomas Dimitroff further strengthened both lines, signing offensive lineman John Wetzel, defensive end Chris Odom and defensive tackle Tyeler Davison.
