Watch: Andrew Whitworth, Trey Hendrickson exchange words during Super Bowl

Former Bengals and current Rams offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth and his wife, Melissa, spoke ahead of Super Bowl 56 about how much it meant for the 16-year NFL veteran to face his former team for a championship.

"It's really special to play in this game and to play against a (team) that means so much to me," Andrew Whitworth said, per The Enquirer's Kelsey Conway.

But that didn't keep Whitworth - who played 11 seasons for the Bengals before playing the past five with the Rams - from a little back-and-forth with top Bengals rusher Trey Hendrickson, featured in a video shared Friday by @NFLFilms:

Whitworth, 40, told NFL Network earlier this week that he plans to make a decision within the next week or two about whether to retire.
