Watch: Bennett describes oddly calm scene of Patriots' SB halftime

James Lang / USA TODAY Sports

The New England Patriots do not handle an 18-point half-time deficit like any other team - real or fictional.

Martellus Bennett sat down with Inc. recently to discuss the strikingly-calm scene in the Patriots locker room as the team faced a 21-3 hole in Super Bowl LI to the Atlanta Falcons.

"There was no bickering, there was no bitching, there was no complaining, there was no moaning, there was no throwing chairs," Bennett said. "There was none of this epic 'we're going to come back,' Rudy, Remember the Titans-type speech."

While the historic comeback may be the source of an upcoming movie, Hollywood may want to re-write Bennett's portrayal for dramatic effect.
