Belichick wore a suit instead of a hoodie. Brady (jokingly) refused to give Goff any advice. Goff revealed he doesn't even remember watching Brady's first Super Bowl against the Rams. There were strange questions and strange answers, per Opening Night tradition. A scorpion was eaten. Gronk even danced at one point. The New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams are sure to deliver a spectacle in Super Bowl LIII, as Tom Brady looks to better his legacy and Sean McVay looks to start his own. But as the NFL season comes to a close, the big game itself won't be the only party in Atlanta. After all, Super Bowl Week isn't Super Bowl Week without Super Bowl parties.
