During a press conference, New England Patriots quarterback Jacoby Brissett was surprised by head coach Jerod Mayo, who handed him a University of Tennessee shirt. This humorous moment was a light-hearted reminder of college rivalries carried into the NFL.
Mayo, a former Tennessee player, and No. 3 quarterback Joe Milton III had made a playful bet with Brissett, an N.C. State alum, regarding their respective teams' match. After Tennessee's decisive win, Brissett humorously donned the losing team's shirt.
