I'm a quarterback. I have to make a play. But I also know there's like an acclimation period, so there was grace and understanding. But that was from my previous part of my career in playing football my whole life. I think you have expectations to go out there, and if you don't meet them, then all of a sudden it gets in your head.

I knew I would need to acclimate, so I gave myself grace, and eventually it hit at the right time. But yeah, I mean, the nerves start hitting. I'm human, man. The next day, I mean, I'm in a QB room, just Nate Subfeld and I watching film, and we know what's happened. We get the news about Carson, and... I say we were watching film. We had the film on.

We did not watch film that day because we were both going through emotions because we're going to the playoffs, we have a great team, and then we realize it's on our shoulders. So we just talked about that and hashed it out as humans do because it's a lot of pressure. But having that brother like Nate there during that time, we developed such a brotherly bond that will last for life.

I'm so grateful I had him. But that was the realness after the situation. It's like we're not in there watching film. We're dealing with the emotions of what is about to happen.

Yeah, I think the biggest thing leading up to that, I mean, you get a bye week before the Super Bowl. So you have that time at home to go through a normal prep week. So the biggest thing was preparation and then eliminating distractions. So a lot of going into the Super Bowl, there's a lot of hoopla. And then, you know, you got a lot of tickets and you're trying to get family there.

So my wife was the instrumental part of like taking control of all that. So I didn't have to deal with it. So I could just focus on ball. Wasn't on my phone a lot. I might have talked to my dad once. I was just so locked in because we have so much respect for the Patriots. One of the greatest dynasties, if not the greatest dynasties in NFL sports history. We know what we're going against.

So just the preparation, the hard work, testing things at practice, being super aggressive at practice to test my limitations. And, you know, going into the game, I felt like we had a great preparation in those two weeks. And, you know, we shredded all our papers and we hid all our stuff. And in the walkthrough, we had 13 to 15 guys.
