BOSTON (WBZ-AM) -- Patriots wide receiver and special teams captain Matthew Slater is getting ready to play in his fourth Super Bowl.
As a vet, he's got some advice for his teammates who are new to the experience.
"Be prepared to use the word no," Slater said. "You have to tell people no unfortunately. And just remember, we're going down there for one reason. I know there's going to be a lot of hooplah and whatnot, but our focus needs to be on the game, our preparation, and going down there and playing our best game of the season."
Hear the rest of Slater's comments below, including his thoughts on facing the Eagles.
