NFL Films does a tremendous job with capturing the moments on the field in big games, and Super Bowl LIII was no different.
After several highlights were shown on Showtime's "Inside the NFL" Tuesday night, a lot more was shown on NFL Network's "Mic'd Up" on Wednesday.
One of the biggest takeaways was Bill Belichick's pure joy after the game, and that included a conversation with Rob Gronkowski about "stepping out."

In the huddle before the final third-and-1 play late in the game, Julian Edelman told Sony Michel to wipe down his arms to get the sweat off as a way to help with ball security. It makes sense, but is something you'd never think of.
