Throughout the majority of the 2010s, the New England Patriots were the odds on favorites to advance to and win the Super Bowl. 

New England ended the 2014 season with a 12-4 record behind another strong campaign from star quarterback Tom Brady. 

After picking up wins in the divisional and conference championship rounds, the Patriots once again found themselves playing in the big game. Julian Edelman was a member of the Patriots team that appeared in Super Bowl XLIX against the defending champion Seattle Seahawks nearly nine years ago.

The three-time Super Bowl champion, who spent his entire professional football career in New England, recalled a time when NBA great Michael Jordan put pressure on him over a bet he placed on the big game.

During a recent edition of his "Games With Names" podcast, Edelman shared a story about the time he saw Jordan before the big game against the Seahawks.

At one point, Jordan instructed Edelman not to mess things up during the Super Bowl.
