Ahead of Super Bowl LVIII, he responded to some of the criticism he received.
“It’s a normal path in someone’s career,” he said at the time. “Honestly, I think a lot of people were against (Patrick) Mahomes because he was there. They want to see new people.
“It’s just part of an arc when you do something at a very high level. I think it’s normal. The same thing happens in football. You become dominant in things, and then all of a sudden people say ‘OK’. Then at the end, Tiger Woods comes back and everyone supports you. It’s just a normal arc of a career. It’s not abnormal. It’s absolutely what’s supposed to happen.”
