There was a knock on the soundproof glass that separates the press conference room from an observation area in the north endzone. It was Nancy giving Rising two thumbs up for his performance.

“The defense did a great job and put us in positions to continue being in places to score,” said Rising right as the knocks on the glass came.
Rising then turned and smiled at Nancy and gave her a thumbs-up in return.
He and his teammates in the room also shared a laugh about it.
