The moment between Kris Jenkins and his mom, Shay Delotch, was so touching and reminded me of my mom once telling me, "You'll never know what it means to love your child until you have one of your own." I talked to them both after the game about sharing that moment on the field. https://t.co/PtpsBfQ6EJ
