- The Denver Broncos came close to winning the AFC Championship game on Sunday, Jan. 25, but ultimately the New England Patriots nabbed the spot in the Super Bowl
- Brea Sutton, whose husband is Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton, tells PEOPLE she’s bummed not be in the crowd during Bad Bunny’s highly anticipated halftime show
- Otherwise, the NFL wife is proud of the Colorado team for taking the season as far as they did this year
The Denver Broncos were one game shy of nabbing a spot in the Super Bowl, which also means the team won’t get to watch this year’s highly anticipated halftime show in person.
That is the downside on Brea Sutton’s mind several days after her husband, wide receiver Courtland Sutton, and his fellow Broncos lost out to the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship on Sunday, Jan. 25. Brea, 31, tells PEOPLE that she was “very excited” by the prospect of sitting in the stands while the 2026 halftime act, Bad Bunny, performs at Levi’s Stadium.
“I was like, ‘You have to play in the Super Bowl because I want to see Bad Bunny,'” she quips. “I’m just going to have to go to Puerto Rico. It’s fine.”

Despite the loss in the semi-finals, Brea is focusing on the fact that the team came closer to the championship than she’s personally ever experienced since she and Courtland, 30, got together six years ago.
“We’ve never been one game away and, at that, only lost by three points one game away in a freaking blizzard,” she says, referring to the semi-final’s 10-7 score. “We’re never really playing this deep into January — into what’s ‘winter’ — every year.”

Looking ahead toward the off-season, Brea is excited to spend some quality time at home with Courtland, whom she married in the summer of 2023. While she acknowledges that many couples view the off-season as prime travel time, the Suttons are “huge, huge homebodies,” says Brea.
“Me and Courtland are very big on laying around the house and watching movies and spending time together,” she explains. Since the regular demands a sizable amount of the players’ time, Brea is keen to relish in the mundane, too: “We haven’t probably gone to the grocery store together in months.”

But when the Patriots face off against the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX on Sunday, Feb. 8, Brea says she and Courtland will be tuning in for the gameplay and the music.
“We’ll probably eat wings and watch it,” she says before again emphasizing her feelings about the halftime show, “I’m just really excited to see Bad Bunny.”
