PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Fletcher Cox is playing in the first Super Bowl he's seeing.
Or so he says.
The three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle is a big reason why the Philadelphia Eagles are facing the New England Patriots next Sunday in Minneapolis for a chance to bring home the franchise's first Vince Lombardi Trophy.
But the 27-year-old Cox isn't much of a football fan. He insists he's never even watched a Super Bowl.
"I don't watch sports," Cox said. "You know that."
If he spends the night getting in Tom Brady's face and helps the Eagles win their first NFL title since 1960, Cox may want to watch the highlights sometime.
