New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel answered an interesting question about the Super Bowl the only way he could. During his appearance at Super Bowl LX Opening Night, a reporter asked Vrabel if the Patriots’ Super Bowl matchup against the Seattle Seahawks is a “must-win.”

“I think every time we go out is a must-win game,” Mike Vrabel said. “It’s kind of the attitude I’ve always taken in the National Football League.”
