“His body language is throwing me off. This was hard to watch. She was so excited for him,” one commenter wrote on the NFL’s Instagram. Another wrote, “Why does he seem inconvenienced by his wife.”

Another explained what might be happening, writing, “He appears to be looking for someone; likely his parents and brothers. You can hear her say ‘I don’t know. I can’t find them. I tried calling…’ He’s likely freezing, totally overwhelmed, not thrilled with how he played, looking for his family, and just trying to take in what has to be an incredibly overwhelming amount of attention at 23.”

Another defended them and said, “She’s been with him since 7th grade, she knows his game day persona. locked in. you don’t last that long without being supportive of each other at different moments. it’s like he’s overwhelmed they did it, and she’s reminding him. King and Queen of the North. period.”

However, Ann Michael does not seem upset in the slightest about all the attention in the comments. On Monday (January 26), one day after the game, she posted photos from the stadium and wrote, “WE ARE GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL!!!!!❤️????❤️???? Words can’t even begin to describe how proud I am of you, #10!!!! Watching your dreams come true is the biggest blessing and I love you!!!!!”
