handshake

There were no postgame handshakes as the teams were ushered to opposite end zones — one to celebrate another championship, the other to reflect on a 9-4 season.

There’s been nothing but handshakes and hugs ever since given their family ties.

As the game clock hit 0:00, photographers, camera operators and other media flooded from the four corners of the field to the midfield lightning bolt to capture the brotherly handshake.

“Nothing crazy, it’s been mostly like meeting people. We get a lovely handshake in that moment,” Herisse says about a town that will meet with you to death.

“It was a handshake over the phone. And we’re going to close this thing this week.”
