I think this past year, Jason, we had 26 of the 32 starting NFL quarterbacks were counselors at the Manning Passing Academy. So it's quite the fraternity. So Eli and I keep up with them, obviously talk to a lot of them, you know, getting ready for a Manning cast game, but just kind of wish them luck throughout their careers. And so I've kept up with Patrick and Jalen throughout their careers.
Jalen reached out a couple of years ago about, kind of the routine of the super bowl. And, uh, I sort of gave him my tips and pointers. He kind of knows that routine now, but Holmes, you know, uh, gets his mail sent to the super bowl every year. Cause he knows Travis does as well. So they don't have to ask me too many questions anymore about the super bowl routines.
The new coach of the Jaguars, Liam Cohen, was a camper. Liam Cohen. How about that? Nice. Move on. So that's how old we are. We got coaches that were campers now.
I mean, I think, look, it was my ninth year playing in it for the first year. And just... You know, down in Miami, it was raining that year. It was the only Super Bowl that it really had rained. But I think, you know, Billy Joel saying the National Anthem, I think there's something about being on the sideline when that National Anthem plays. You know, watching it all those years as a kid.
You know, Travis, my first Super Bowls as a kid were in New Orleans, obviously. I saw the... The who's that? I saw Montana beat the Broncos in the 89, 89, 90 season, whatever that was. That was in New Orleans. I actually was in college, came back and saw the Packers beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl. So there obviously been some great ones there in New Orleans. There'd be another great one.
with your Chiefs and the Eagles. But that national anthem, I still get emotional watching it as a fan, as an ex-player sitting at home. But I think when you're on the sidelines knowing this game's about to happen, that's something that kind of jumped out to me that I'm really here and I'm really playing in a Super Bowl. It was a pretty cool moment.
It was an emotional moment that kind of ended pretty quickly with Hester. All right. We got to lock in, boys.
100%.
I mean, look, when you're mic'd up, to me, the sooner you can forget about it, the better, right? For sure. I always kind of knew I was mic'd up in pregame warm-ups because they, you know, you put your pads on, you can see the tape over the mic, so you're just kind of thinking about it, and hopefully once the game goes, but... We had run the ball all the way down there. Jason had a good run game.
We were playing a Monday night game against the Rams. Ran it down there, and the Rams, in the side of the five-yard line, basically said, okay, enough's enough. They loaded the box. We had a run play called. First down and second down, they were blitzing everybody. We audibled. Throw, throw, incomplete. Now it's third and goal. Throw again.
So naturally, Jeff and the offensive line, just like all of you, are not happy. Like, you know, why did you run it? to get down there, and now we're going to throw it.
And so we sit on our separate sides of the bench, but I can hear them talking. I can hear them, you know, why are we throwing it? Just run the rock, run the rock. I kind of let it breathe, let it breathe, and finally I just snapped. And I go down there, and I'm all fired up. Then I realized, Travis, I mean, I am in enemy territory. The entire offensive line is right there.
ready to, you know, support their center and come right at me. I'm like, okay, let me kind of back off of this. But, hey, I'll tell you a good Super Bowl story about Jeff Saturday real quick. Every Thursday during our entire career in Indianapolis, Jeff and I played together forever. We always did wet ball drills, right, where, you know, we're taking snaps.
before practice, and the equipment guy is spraying the water bottle on the football, creating the environment. And Jeff would get so mad, Travis, because he'd say, Peyton, we're playing in the RCA dome this week. There's no chance of rain. I'm like, you never know. You never know. It's ritual at this point. Anyway, we do that for eight years, right?
And every Thursday, no matter what, we get to the Super Bowl. It's raining like just cats and dogs. And we have zero fumbled snaps. The Bears have three fumbled snaps. And I say that's why we've been doing the wet ball snap drill all these years. So those little things pay off in the Super Bowl. They pay off.
I mean, to me, look, they're closer to the quarterback than the Z or the X or the slot. They're right there. Just kind of three players away, right? Guard, tackle, tight end. So they're kind of one of the last guys that you kind of almost break the huddle with, I feel like, Travis. You can always – I mean, I see Travis and Patrick talking as they're breaking the huddle.
And so you can kind of get the last word in, hey, if they blitz – You know, break hot. Hey, look, watch out for cover two man. Give the guy a little stick to the outside before you bend it. And so I think just that little extra conversation, maybe that closer proximity kind of creates that tight end quarterback bond. And I always felt like I knew where Dallas was going to be.
Look, what Patrick and Travis have created is a whole different level, but it's just a real comfort zone. And I love Dallas. Like you said, he was fearless across the middle. We were down there with Kittle. He was talking about tight end you. Oh, it's so much fun. How Dallas still comes back and works it.
So it's a special connection when you have a quarterback and tight end that have that feel for each other. There's a confidence there, and I felt that way with Dallas. Obviously, You and Patrick have had that forever.
I would agree with Travis. I feel like Travis keeps... keeps the offensive coordinator from kind of being one play away, right? You know, if you have outside leverage and you have an out route, I see Travis, you know, kind of just curl it in and Mahomes sees that and he throws it to him as opposed to saying, man, I wish we would have had the inside curl route on that play.
