There was a very real chance Bruce Arians didn't coach the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a Super Bowl victory this season.

Arians revealed that his wife and kids urged him to consider opting out of the 2020 season because they were concerned about him contracting COVID-19.

"Some people said, "Dad, you need to opt out this year," and I was like, 'No way. I'll risk it. It's going to be a magical year,'" Arians said.

The 68-year-old said he was extremely careful during the season.

"I went to work, came home," he said. "We haven't gone out to dinner since July. We have all these open-air restaurants here, but I just couldn't risk it. Both of us are high risk."
