Why is the Super Bowl such a popular event?

On Sunday, the New England Patriots will face the Atlanta Falcons in Houston for Super Bowl 51. 170 countries are set to tune in across the world and Lady Gaga will headline the half-time show.
American football is growing in popularity in the UK and last year three NFL games were played in London.
Joanna Gosling spoke to NFL star Michael Bennett from the Jacksonville Jaguars, Niall Scott-Grant, who plays for London Warriors and is a huge Atlanta Falcons fan, Lucie Stewart, who also plays for the Warriors, and Grace Hilbourne and Carl James, who play for the Wembley Stallions.
