  • During the third quarter he spoke briefly on air with Fox broadcasters Kenny Albert and Jonathan Vilma for about eight minutes, while the Jumbotron showed a photo of him in jersey number 85 saying `I played tight end, but it was not quite football like this.`

  • Historically, only a few presidents have attended regular-season games; Trump is the first since Jimmy Carter in 1978, with Air Force One performing a flyover he called `the greatest flyover ever`.
