FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Marie Michel watched her son in the AFC Championship Game and it brought her to tears.
To see her youngest child living out his dream to play in the NFL would have been enough. But Sony Michel’s historic performance, and how it helped the New England Patriots advance to Super Bowl LIII, elevated her emotions to a higher point.
“That was amazing. Just crazy. The first year? To go to the Super Bowl? It made me cry,” she told ESPN via phone on Monday.
