While the reunion was joyous, Sanders confessed the team’s situation hampered the experience, admitting the same in the post-game press conference.
“So, these shenanigans put a damper on it,” Coach Prime stated.
“I haven’t seen my son in a long time so that was quite emotional for me, him surprising me today in the office,” he further elaborated.
