Super Bowl week is here. The New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams have arrived in Atlanta and will meet the media Monday night.
Here are all the festivities and best quotes from the night:

Several awkward periods of prolonged silence have fallen over Jared Goff’s media availability as the clock winds down. He hasn’t exactly expanded on many answers. A media person asked: Any questions for us? Goff: No.
We see you, Coach! 🙌#SBOpeningNight | #SBLIII pic.twitter.com/iqiBLikCi1

Ndamukong Suh was asked about being a nice guy off the field and something entirely different on the field. Says he sees a sports psychologist. Says he can “play closer to the edge but not go over the edge.” …Between the white lines, Suh said “just a different beast comes out of you to be successful.”
Todd Gurley, a Georgia alum, talks about how much it means to him to be back playing in the same state as his alma mater. He said he hasn’t been in touch with fellow Georgia alum Sony Michel of the Patriots, but is happy for him.
When asked about the health of his knee, Todd Gurley jokes, “I expect to play every play and never come out of the game.” Asked how his knee feels, he says, “It’s cool.”
Aaron Donald said growing up he wanted to be a skill player, a running back, “but I ate myself out of that position.” Donald said later on he started studying defensive linemen the likes of Warren Sapp and John Randle.
