"I've gotten a chance to get to know coach Belichick a little bit — had a relationship with Josh McDaniels," McVay added, as reported by Rams News. "Really, we practiced against those guys when I was in Washington early on, and kind of have kept in contact with them. And they're a team that you're always watching the way they do things. And you just have so much respect for the way that they've operated over the last handful of years."

Super Bowl LIII will be broadcast nationwide by CBS. on Sunday, Feb. 3.
