Bill Belichick and Julian Edelman stopped by The Tonight Show Monday to talk with host Jimmy Fallon about what went through the receiver’s head when he made his amazing catch, why the Patriots coach looks so grumpy all the time, and how they’ll get the celebration started when they come back to Boston Tuesday morning.

Fallon started the interview by asking how the Patriots managed to not give up when they were trailing the Falcons 21-3 at halftime and 28-3 early in the third quarter.

“Here’s my thing: How do you keep from not being depressed and going, ‘Well, we just lost the Super Bowl,'” Fallon asked the pair. “Do you meditate? Do you go, ‘Be the ball, there is no ball’?”

“He’s a big meditator, Coach Belichick,” Edelman joked.

“We do a lot of that,” Belichick replied, grabbing Edelman’s hand.

“That’s the first time he’s ever touched me, by the way,” Edelman riffed.

Fallon then joked about Belichick’s famous scowl.

“When do you put it on?” Fallon asked Belichick. “Is it the drive to the stadium? When do you get serious?”

“Look, football’s 24-7,” Belichick said. “The switch doesn’t flip on at 1 o’clock Sunday afternoon or whenever the game is. Every time we’re working on football, it’s serious. And we’re trying to get better. That’s every day.”

When Fallon asked Edelman about his amazing fourth quarter catch, the receiver found a way to critique himself.

“After it all happened, I was kind of disappointed in my route, I’m not going to lie,” Edelman said. “I should have stuck it a little harder.”

Edelman also told Fallon that he thought the catch was “70 percent luck” and “30 percent skill,” and that he was screaming at Brady to rush everyone to the line to run a play so the Falcons couldn’t challenge it.

Fallon asked Edelman if the win had really sunk in yet, and the receiver said he needed to get back to Boston to really start enjoying the win.

“You know, you do all the media stuff, and you have to do obligations for the team,” Edelman said. “Once you get to get back and go to Boston and get towards that parade, have a couple of cold ones with the boys, that’s when it starts to become the real thing.”
