The Fox halftime crew spent most of the halftime show discussing Hill's development as a quarterback. They noted that Hill has learned to go through his progressions and make plays with his arm instead of scrambling to make plays with his legs. They compared Hill's style of play to Lamar Jackson and Kyler Murray. 

Michael Strahan added, "He's the most jacked quarterback I've seen."
