Most people know where they were on September 11th, 2001, but for Wolfe and Mariucci, the day holds even more significance.
Mariucci and Wolfe both reflected and shared their personal experiences on Monday night. Fans responded with an outpouring of love and gratitude on the social media platform ‘X’, where they voiced their appreciation for the way the network navigated the emotional rawness of the day.
Mariucci recalled his first game back following 9/11 on Monday Night Football against the NY Jets. Then the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers, Mariucci could be seen getting emotional during the national anthem as NFL Network rolled back footage from the game.
While Mariucci said he remembers every game he’s ever coached, he said that he was unable to recall the details of that particular contest. Instead, his memory jogged straight to the events surrounding the game.
