Bold daughter steals the spotlight during Super Bowl post-game press conference
On Sunday, the New England Patriots won Super Bowl 51 in an incredible come-from-behind fashion, but one little girl was determined to steal the show.
During the post-game press conference, everyone wanted to hear the players' and the coaches' thoughts. After cheering for more than three hours, fans were ready to see reactions come from the stars of the game themselves.
Patriots' tight end Martellus Bennett stepped up to the press conference podium with his daughter. He started to talk through what was going through his head when he and his teammates found themselves down 25 points. And then his daughter pulled a Riley Curry.

Delightfully, Bennett's daughter had a lot to say and she decided to use the Super Bowl post-game press conference as her platform to share it with the world.
For example, her father just won the Super Bowl but the world obviously also needs to know about their family dog Wendy. This is crucial information, Bennett. Let her speak.

This is not the first time that children of professional athletes have stolen the show during post-game press conferences.
Most notably, Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors had his spotlight completely stolen from him by his daughter Riley on multiple occasions.
With this Super Bowl post-game performance, Bennett's daughter may be challenging Riley for the title of biggest darling among sports reporters.
