It may not have been a great game until after the lights went out and came back up, but the Super Bowl showdown Sunday night created quite a few memorable moments on the field and off, even before kickoff.

There were powerful performances, including a much buzzed-about halftime show by superstar Beyonce.

But there was also a lack of electricity in the stadium and in some of the commercials.

And San Francisco 49ers fans are sure to get emotional over that last play they ran on offense, when two players met in the end zone and, despite interference, the referee did not call a penalty.

Here are the five moments you can expect your coworkers to talk about Monday morning.

The men may have duked it out during the game, but when it came to the non-football entertainment at the Superdome, women ruled the day.

First up was Jennifer Hudson with a stirring rendition of "America the Beautiful." The choir backing her was composed of students from Sandy Hook Elementary, the Connecticut school where 20 students and six school staff were shot dead in December.

Players on the sidelines and fans in the stands wiped away tears.

"Our wish is to demonstrate to America and the world that 'We are Sandy Hook and We Choose Love,'" the choir said in a statement.
