"That thing was burning a hole in my pocket," Reaves told the Associated Press. However, he knew the Commanders would have to win if he was going to drop to one knee - making the game even more impactful for the 28-year-old. "I hate losing, so there's no way I could have done that in the right spirit after a loss," he said. "If we win this game, it's destiny."
Reaves said Worley has been his "best friend since high school" and has supported him through the highs and lows of his football career. The safety said he knew Worley was the one when she stuck by him "through the worst" after he suffered a season-ending ACL tear in October 2023.
"She's earned it. I can't say enough about her. When I was at my lowest last year, she was there to pick me up everyday. She showed up," Reaves said. "I was going through the worst last year coming off an ACL (tear). Couldn't do anything, couldn't be my own man and she was the crutch there when I couldn't do it myself."
