(Reuters) - New England Patriots defensive back Devin McCourty has played on the NFL's biggest stage before and said on Friday his team will not get caught up in the hoopla ahead of their Super Bowl clash with the Atlanta Falcons.
McCourty, who won a Super Bowl with the Patriots in 2015, said his team quickly moved on from Sunday's AFC Championship win and are focused solely on their clash with the NFL's most potent offense on Feb. 5 in Houston.
"The environment that we have going on right now really kind of forces you to be on the football side of things," McCourty said during a news conference at Gillette Stadium.
