Matthew Slater was very emotional in his postgame press conference following the New England Patriots' loss to the Buffalo Bills in Sunday's Week 18 regular season finale.
The Patriots lost 35-23 and were eliminated from playoff contention in the AFC as a result. It also might have been Slater's final NFL game.
He was selected by the Patriots in the fifth round of the 2008 NFL Draft and became one of the best special teams players in league history. His leadership on and off the field also has made a tremendous impact on the historic success New England has achieved -- including three Super Bowl titles -- since he joined the team.
