Former Chiefs cornerback Steven Nelson switched uniforms this offseason, moving from Kansas City to Pittsburgh. But his feelings toward the Patriots?

Those have remained exactly the same.

During an interview with FOX Sports’ Kristine Leahy on Leahy’s show “Fair Game,” Nelson shared his experience watching the Super Bowl from home after his top-seeded Chiefs lost to New England in the AFC Championship Game.

“I was like, screw the Patriots,” he said, “because we should’ve been in the Super Bowl. Kudos to them for making it, but I wanted the Rams to win."

Nelson and the Chiefs allowed consecutive touchdown drives to the Patriots in the conference title game, which first put the Pats ahead late in the fourth quarter and then vaulted them into the Super Bowl. Earlier in the 37-31 overtime thriller, Nelson surrendered a touchdown to New England wideout Phillip Dorsett. He started all 16 regular-season games for Kansas City and snared four interceptions.

“I’m moving on, but it kind of hurt me for maybe a week. It didn’t help because that was my birthday week. So it was like, ‘Man, come on," Nelson said. "I wanted to go to the Super Bowl, and I’m from Atlanta and the Super Bowl was in Atlanta. It’s all good, though.”

Nelson signed a three-year, $25 million deal with the Steelers this offseason.
