Edelman reveals halftime talk that led to comeback


If you're wondering just what was said in the New England Patriots locker room that kick-started the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history, Julian Edelman has an answer.

While appearing on Live with Kelly, the wideout revealed what coaches told players who faced a 21-3 deficit in Houston:

This game was a microcosm of our season, there was a little adversity to overcome. But guys stuck together, we were mentally tough. Our coaches said, "Let's just play one play at a time. We can't worry about things we can't control. Let's just worry about what we can control." And that's what we did.

You would think a cliche is just that, something that players have heard over and over and have spouted themselves endlessly. But sometimes, cliches work!
