Chris Stapleton anthem draws rave reviews as Nick Sirianni moved to tears

Chris Stapleton’s rendition of the national anthem moved Nick Sirianni to tears.

And he might not have been the only one to cry.

The country artist received rave reviews after singing the “Star Spangled Banner” before kick off of Sunday’s Super Bowl. Cameras caught the Eagles coach tearing up on the sideline while Stapelton was playing.

Others were quick to praise Stapleton — including bettors who took the “over” as the artist appeared to sing longer than the line of 125 seconds. 

Chris Stapleton just delivered one of the best National Anthem performances I’ve heard in a long time 🇺🇸
