In an interview with NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Hightower further explained his stance, stating that he and his fiancée were more concerned about the health of their family, particularly their newborn.

During the delivery of their first child, Hightower aimed to inspire his fiancée Morgan, who had been in labor for 17 hours. Despite her exhaustion, the nurse declared it was time to push. Hightower began chanting "28-3" and encouraged her never to give up.

The memorable Super Bowl LI game inspired this audible. The New England Patriots faced an insurmountable deficit against the Atlanta Falcons, trailing 28-3 with only a little over two minutes left in the third quarter.
