Tracy Wolfson Was the Real MVP of Super Bowl LIII, Says Twitter

Super Bowl LIII proved to be quite the slugfest between the Patriots and Rams. But perhaps no one put on as gritty of a performance as CBS' Tracy Wolfson.

Following New England's victory, Wolfson–along with a cascade of media members–crowded around Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. But it took a few minutes before Wolfson, who appeared to attempt starting her interview a few times, was able to reach Brady.

Try as she might, Wolfson was able to get to Brady. Observers and peers across the nation took to Twitter to express concern for Wolfson's well-being, as well as commend her hard-fought effort.

Yo, let’s not let the sideline reporter get crushed on live TV. I’m now genuinely concerned

Somebody get @tracywolfson a gift certificate for a massage after that beating in the scrum.

Some team might want to consider Tracy Wolfson as its short-yardage back.

Amazing work by @tracywolfson on Brady interview…she never gave up her ground especially with so many moving pieces. Incredible work as usual…

Some expressed displeasure with CBS' attempt to conduct a postgame interview immediately after the game ended. And some cracked some jokes.

I just hope @tracywolfson isn't claustrophobic. I'm having anxiety for her from my couch.

And that's why the Final Four does it right. Makes no sense that the NFL allows cameras to crush the celebration after a win. Let the players and coaches celebrate and then let the rights holder reporter of the broadcast (@tracywolfson) do the postgame interview. Simple. https://t.co/bLJ2D2nian

It was quite the way to cap off the NFL season. The Patriots earned their sixth championship in franchise history. And Tracy Wolfson was deemed a champion in her own right.
