Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel have a 2-year-old son, Silas Randall Timberlake. Justin Timberlake is the headliner for the Super Bowl 52 halftime show on Sunday.

We also believe together, as Americans, we should honor our anthem.

“I’m excited for that man,” Jaguars defensive tackle Malik Jackson said in the locker room after Bortles played well in Sunday’s triumph at Pittsburgh in an AFC semifinal. “All these quarterbacks are paid with no playoff games.
