"But the resilience of New Orleans is matched by the resolve of our country," Brady added. "When tragedy strikes, we don't break. We come together. We rise above and never let evil win."
"As we get ready for sports' biggest day, we gather together with heavy hearts for our family and friends from North Carolina to Los Angeles, from Washington, D.C., to Philadelphia, whose last few months have left us relying on each other in ways we'd never imagined," Strahan added.

"I think the most important thing is, very clear and unequivocal, saying without hesitation, that we are really confident in our security plan going into the Super Bowl," she said.
