While the NFC NFL playoff game on Fox had American Idol goodness after the game, the AFC championship game had a little Idol treat before the action, thanks to judge Steven Tyler.

The Aerosmith frontman sang the National Anthem before the New England Patriots played the Baltimore Ravens in Foxborough, Mass. So how'd he do? 

While some thought the Idol judge flubbed the lyrics, you could also argue that Tyler nailed it by sticking to his rock roots, screams and all!

Tyler, 63, showed his support for the Patriots via one of his signature scarves, which featured the team's logo in red, white and blue sequins. After the game, Tyler joined the Patriots while they celebrated their win. 

What'd you think of Tyler's rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner"? Would it get him through to Hollywood on his show? Sound off in the comments!
