"I feel like he never lost it. He still had the charismatic energy and kept a smile on his face, he kept being positive. You wouldn't be able to know anything was going on with him. I appreciated everything that he showed throughout the process."

Terrell Williams, New England's defensive coordinator, was diagnosed with prostate cancer after feeling ill following the Week 1 loss. He attended team meetings during treatment but did not travel with the team or coach on the sideline after Week 1, with inside linebackers coach Zak Kuhr serving as defensive play-caller. Head coach Mike Vrabel urged Williams to see medical staff, leading to urgent care tests that revealed the cancer. Williams was declared cancer-free during the playoffs, cleared to join the team, and returned to the Patriots for the Super Bowl. Players described his energy, positivity, and emotional lift during his fight.
